Today Lowe's (LOW) reported earnings with another quarterly drop in profits but a pop up in the stock's price... http://www.learningmarkets.com/inde...one&catid=35:finding-trades-stocks&Itemid=142
I went to two different HD's yesterday and both were quite busy. In between my two HD visits I stopped at Lowes (which was right across the street) and the Lowes had no customers.
I'm not sure the point of the above as I don't see what value a sampling of 3 stores in a single geographic location would have?
Right the opposite here. I went to Lowe's Saturday and it was covered up with people. I had to stand in line to check 2"x6"s. Parking lot at HD, which is a quarter of a mile a way, is almost always empty. Lowes is just easier to shop in. And it is always full of people.
What would number of store would you recommend for a sample? What is the difference between a Lowes across the street from a Home Depot in a Dallas suburb or a Chicago suburb?
