It doesn't look like they were doing that good.


And let us not forget that we have just finished the biggest building
boom in decades....which would make even a poorly run company look
good...for awhile.

You still have not presented anything other than his well known low stock
price appreciation.....Doubling sales and a more than doubling of profits
and a healthy profit retail profit percentage is not by any rational
definition a poorly run company......I would suggest that the stock price
had flown so high prior to his arrival that the market had eventually wised
up and let the price catch up a bit with reality. One may note that
Microsoft's stock price has languished as well for quite a few years and yet
they have extreme profits, growth and market share.

Whether you like, hate or detest HD or whether you think Nardelli is a over
paid boob is obviously your prerogative or choice but it doesn't impact his
actual job performance facts...... Rod


Are you actually reading the link I posted?

Where it compares Lowes and HD?

Where it shows that Lowes was doing MUCH better than HD?

His actual job performance pales in comparsion to his competition.

You wouldn't have to be his mother would you?
