If your assertion were true one would think that Lowe’s would be on the same list. As it is not, I will categorize your assertion as “bovine excrement.”
Then check again. Sales are down at Lowes. As a matter of fact, worse. Home Depot is reporting that sales are down 3.4%, Lowes is down 8.1%. Dividends amongst Home Depot stock holders has been reduced to a paltry 3.39% as of 7-6-10. Lowes dividend yield has been reduced to only 2.17%. So perhaps, since you’re obviously running your mouth without any pertinent information to back it up, you should step back and realize that all the bovine excrement is coming from your quarter.
