I bought the $139(P) weeklies .... About 2.10 per copy.... so far so bad lol.... but the day is young. Die Home Depot piggy, die!
There's no where near the volume there should be for this morning. Unless something changes ....Its gonna drop. Could be wrong. You'd think there would be some big buys here at 138.50 if it wasn't done. I'm not adding anymore to my position, but those 139's @ $1.10 are damn near a sure thing. Mortgage granny's house. Stop her out @ .80
$1.85 now.... Granny gets to keep the house and buy a big screen for her new addition. HD is going much lower...
