HD has about a 36% gross profit margin and you say 6%.
I did not say _gross_ i said profit margin .
You say Serge told you he was happy to be rid of it
No i did not, I never talked to Serge directly on this matter
How could it be dragging down the contruction side
Bad debts, people buy on credit and cannot pay, If he sees it doing well now as you say it must have done poorly before which confirms what i said.
In the end, remember who and what led you down the path.
