HD

JayArlington

This is the least compelling argument. We have had consistently greater capability from compute storage and networking and yet we kept building smaller transistors and faster data transmission. Consumers started wanting “more things” (HD hentai porn vids on their phone).

cryptopolymath

MCD, CMG, HD, DIS all show consumer sentiment is at an all time low. WMT is up but that could be a sign high earners are looking for cost savings.

Exited HD completely with my profits, will get back in if it goes down to a price I like. For MSTR, what would force Saylor to sell the company's BTC?

RandyBoBandy636

I’m retired and building a few additions on my house. I’m more of a vibes builder though so I’m in Lowe’s and HD every other day getting shit I forgot or didn’t realize I would need. All hours of the day, traffic at Lowe’s and HD has seemed steady. Material costs don’t really matter to me. Even so, I haven’t noticed anything common that’s egregiously expensive.

Added some HD this week. Hope it continues to dip right up to Jan 1 in time for me to add more to the Roth.

Saying the internet was complete in 2008 is BS. Networks and infrastructure have evolved with the demand. Security for instance back then you couldn't do banking etc. on the internet or HD video streaming. The internet was never intended as a consumer product, it came from the military / universities where it was supposed to be peer to peer, not potential billions of people where some may have bad interests. Security standards and internet protocols have had to evolve continuously. It will never be finished, it changes with our needs, and so too it is now changing with our demand for AI. AI can work through the infrastructure that we already have, our vast knowledge network that is the internet. AI is already useful in many sectors, but it's still a cost/yield calculation, yes. Not every prompt needs the same amount of compute. So maybe you get some hallucinations if you ask a simple prompt with too little context and ambiguous phrasing. Learn how to use it properly. It's not perfect but it can greatly enhance productivity. AGI or ASI is unattainable but the demand for AI is very much there. It is not complete nor is it unusable, there are myriad applications already and there will be more as the technology matures and everyone learns its caveats and how to use it most effectively. The hyperscalers are very profitable. Ofcourse you have to sow before you can reap the rewards, they have to build the infrastructure so they can start charging for the services. Look at Azure subscriptions.

Sweet greens target demo is 18-35. Exactly the same as chipotle, and that demo is currently being hit the hardest by rising inflation that is felt in real life but not quite accurately depicted in the data yet. Evidence is seen in the Q3 13Fs that dropped last week. DASH was dumped. In addition, TGT sales and forecasts for the holidays are down. HD lowered guidance. The most damning evidence comes from MCD’s most recent earnings- they straight up said low income diners are expected to spend less next year. All of the evidence is screaming bearish, but you believe in overpriced kale salad? This is the easiest short of your life if you want it to be

user365735

Yeah but Costco is killing earnings right? I'm not up to date but they posted their best month yet when, September or Oct and it's still dropping. So we have HD and target say sales are going to drop, but didn't kohls have a kick ass quarter and say sales are going up? I anit keeping up with everything but target is in trouble period so they will throw everything out there to make it look not like them period, so fuck them saying Christmas isn't going to be good. It probably will be for Amazon, Walmart, Best buy and kohls. Fuck HD, they just had a massive run during COVID-19, blow earnings like crazy for 1.5 years right? Do you expect maybe that will pull back now because less people need to upgrade their house? 

Chitown2655

But why is it so heavily shorted? The future looks very bright. I just can’t understand how people can still be short. New bipartisan legislation in Congress is looking to improve payments from Medicare to cover HD better, esp. when there is a new product that can benefit patients. They will get the indication for TPN. They would not have bought Melinta if they didn’t believe the Rizzayo trial would be successful. Other antifungals are already being used prophylactically. Every AM I am fearful to look at where the price is. If it is up, I know within an hour to an hour and a half, it will be even or in the red!!! So frustrating.

Harley Davidson. The younger generation doesn't have much care for motorcycles, and the ones that would actually buy one buy Hondas that are actually zippy, fast, and mechanically reliable. The Harley Davidson pushrod tech was a mainstay for decades- Everytime HD tried to move away from the design boomers got pissed and they switched back. The mentality to stagnate got worse when Reagan bailed them out when they couldn't compete against Honda in the 80s. As Boomers die, HD will die with them. Good riddance.

I called this Monday morning at work (construction trade) and I said I'm shorting HD their earnings comes out this week and every time we go to HD the place is empty. Easy money.

Senior_Deer_2212

That’s what I’m telling you, he can tell us his local HD store and we could put it to rest but I don’t see that happening. Highest I saw, just picking random stores, was $20 in California. Great use of the word rapscallion, too.

Bearish on HD (for now) anyone else?

Consider HD as a portfolio stabilizer with moderate growth potential, best suited for investors seeking consistent returns over aggressive expansion. The Council analyzed The Home Depot, Inc. with a Master Score of 48/100. 48% confidence. 6 legendary investors + AI consensus. https://www.stockexpertai.com/pre-evaluation?ticker=HD

tragicheadjam

It happened to multiple stocks my son owns, GOOG and HD are just a couple. The number of shares owned doubled and the return percentage went crazy today. He was excited about being up a bunch today which confused the hell out of me after what the market has been doing and I did some digging into his statements.

OpeDefinitely

ouch that's super shitty. I try to go to local hardware stores when I can, but sometimes the only options are big box home improvement stores. Menards has a great selection of random things that I find myself needing, but that often aren't even stocked by HD & Lowes. It's kind of like how Meijer often stocks things that aren't stocked by Walmart or Target.

King_Siege

Sold HD puts at open for a limp dick 50% gain, would be about a 4 bagger if I held all day

There’s tons of corroborated stories about him showing up to a store, humiliating the staff, then firing them. The more I learned about him the more I started just going 1 block further south to HD instead.

>Job growth is sluggish, but new hires are on the upswing. How? https://www.adpresearch.com/job-growth-is-sluggish-but-new-hires-are-on-the-upswing-how/ Intresting, but really hard to tell what is going on without report from BLS. Given Oct report is lost who knows. Also from HD Earnings call: >Executives said that a widely expected pick-up in demand from easing U.S. interest and mortgage rates had failed to materialize

I'm not shopping at HD until Arthur Blank fixes his damn football team.

MaterialGuy007

HD. How come no one realized HD would falter. It’s not a home building economy - it’s an Internet reinvent/build economy. And Americans more than anyone hungry for knowledge - will pay OpenAi $40-60 a month for life!

Then_Past_4646

I disagree, the local building supply shop and lumber yards are busy as hell. This is a matter of customers simply not shopping at HD any longer, due to price-quality-lack of service, including myself. I only shop at HD on weekends when I have no other options open.

AllAboutTheXeons

When this subreddit was making history a few yrs back, it was the daily discussion in the break room of a Home Depot store in Edmonton, Alberta. I was half-serious about trying to get co-workers who were shareholders to come into the casino of options, and regarded degenerates. While people laughed, nobody wanted to even remotely investigate any options opportunity with HD. I dunno if I coulda made bread on that - I am highly regarded. In fact, I am literally autistic.

Where on earth are you located? HD has 5/4x6 PT for $9.50 by me. If you meant 2x6, it's $14.68. 3/4 PT sheathing is $55. Not arguing that shit isn't expensive but do you live in Hawaii or Alaska?

Ambitious-Fishing379

Had complete opposite experience at Lowe’s. Bought a coat rack that was broken and they didn’t even open the box when I returned it. Had me grab a new one off the shelf and walked out the door. Also agree with another poster that Lowe’s is superior in store layout and the app is much better. I only go to HD if it’s closer to other errands I’m running

thetotaljim

I started going to ACE and never looked back. The difference between looking for an excuse to go to ACE rather than dreading going to HD.

Then_Past_4646

yep, high prices, no service, mediocre quality of materials. I've moved my spend to lumber yards, ACE, Amazon, [build.com](http://build.com) IMO peak HD was about 20 years ago, now half the store is private label china crap.

Chance-Ad-8426

Hispanics won’t be buying HD products!!! More suffering for their terrible policies. It hurt HD ego when people would say “geez just go get some guys at HD”😂😂 once there you might as well buy some junkies, not no more!!!!

stickman07738

Not surprising to me, as I have two each HD and Lowes within 5 miles of my home. The HD have not been busy and I was actually surprised to see people stocking shelves and organizing things - this never happens at the two HD. The Lowe's however been busier - I expect them to beat the numbers.

yeah TSLA go on, go green. if HD is cutting forecasts because people are putting off home-improvement projects I'm sure they're still buying Teslas

FalseZookeepergame15

HD is a nice bell weather. If consumers are spending on home improvement projects then that's a sign of consumer spending. If Homeowners are cutting back then they're saving their money. On top of that with HD cutting their guidance they don't see a good outlook ahead.

LumpyGuys

There’s also a growing boycott movement - similar to what happened with Target. HD owner is super right wing and is politically active. Not sure but that might be a contributing factor

TheWausauDude

My portfolio fell about 15% since the government reopened and I don’t even have any HD shares. It’s going to be a rough ride for a while.

CaseyLouLou2

What this person said is wrong. High deductible plans with an HSA are always a better choice because the premiums are lower. The out of pocket max is the same. Yes the deductible is higher but in a bad year or over several bad years you have saved on premiums which can now go towards the deductible. Worst case scenario the out of pocket max is the same for both plans. But the premiums are still less for the HD HSA plan. If you can afford to let the HSA grow tax free until retirement that’s better but if you desperately need the money then pay the bills. You should definitely dispute those bills - the hospital can help you file an appeal. There are often billing errors and UHC is known for denying claims in the hopes that people won’t bother disputing them.

I got Target and Walmart puts which seems dumb on the surface but makes more sense as time goes on since I think the cracks will start to show this week with TGT,WMT, HD and we might see some blood in the water. TGT foot traffic is down month over month and at this point even if they are going to WMT now it doesn't mean they are spending more. If anything spending is going down in households as job loss, tarrifs and delinquency issues arise. I could be totally wrong here but only time will tell.

PritchettsClosets

Have you been to HD? It's absolutely pushing the want part. Very successful business. I'm not a 20 year believer in the company. I just see that the downsides are way over exaggerated, the company's gonna be around 1 year from now, and the price is at recent lows, WITH a high short interest. Plus the name, plus prime season, things are shaping up for a SHORT TERM (sub 3-6 month) move.

Bfisho

So Jobs report Thursday’s, NVDA’s earnings, and some consumer sentiment earnings (HD/Lowes, Target, Ross, Gap, Crack in a Box). Anything else? What’s a bull like me need to get rate cuts & green candles.
