The Invisible Hand never sleeps.
well there is a beginning of a very strong competition of officemax/office depot/staples for regions in us where they are lacking in share. Staples which has a much stronger franchise then the other two is doing well. OfficeMax can compete due to virtical integration by a merger with Boise Cascade but office depot is less competitive then the other two. I figure it began to loose ground. *btw this was in the papers about their increasing competition for each others markets about 6 months ago
