RACK that place.
Went in for half a dozen floodlight bulbs, came out $285 lighter.
Because apparently I needed industrial velcro, beefsteak tomoto seeds, window film, paint rollers and about 20 other things.
They're printing cash over there, goddammit. :praise:

I bought Home Depot stock in 1985 and have done good with it. I wish I had bought Lowes when they started making their expansions, but the financial wizzard that I am decided that the market could not support two major players.

HD blew up in the early 90's, but so many of the techs ('sup Winstar) were just starting out too. I went that way instead.
My stepfather didn't have $$ to invest so he'd just follow HD and say how much his imaginary portfolio made that day while we were eating dinner.
Meanwhile, my mom with among other positions 12,000 REAL shares of Pfizer was like "shut up asswipe, you're not getting a dime of my money to invest"
bwahhhahahahaha

I don't even remember why I bought Home Depot when I did. I had never heard of them. We still had the local family owned lumber yards back then. Ace Hardware was about the only thing close to a large scale. I remember my sister called me and told me I should look at Home Depot. I figured what the fuck. I hadn't bought anything in a while.
