Wow, looks like a solid long term play....the type you buy for an IRA and forget about just checking every week or so.

Thanks for the bump.

I'll look to grab a few on the next dip.

My first trade using TOS.

Placed a working order after the market close purchasing +40 LOW at 25.12. Im hoping with the full swing of summer setting off, people will do home improvement, and other house projects. Looking to sell off if it hits a +10% n my favor. I used to work for lowe's for 2 years, great company, and they were popping up stores while I was there.


Oh and im using TOS paper money, im still pretty timid about plowing my money into something I have no experiance in. Im sitting on 3,100$ in my piggy bank (figuratively speaking of course) I hope to catch this stock when its kicked way down, because its always pulled back up strong. Its up 100% since its last year low of 13 something.


Anyway im really new to this, any feedback is greatly appreciated, as this is pretty much one of 3 stocks im following.

Don't like this stock. It underperforms, and it's outlook isn't as good as Home Depot's. Home Depot's quarter and future outlook on their call was much better than Lowe's, which was hampered by higher inventory levels and a more bearish outlook.

Not only that, but anyone who owns HD stock at the end of the day today gets their dividend next week, which makes HD even more attractive.

Lowe's 3Q Profit Up 17% But Sales Miss View; Annual Target Cut
Monday 11/15/2010 7:41 AM ET - Dow Jones News



Lowe's Cos. (LOW) said its fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 17% as revenue and margins improved, though sales were lower than expected.
The home-improvement retailer also lowered its forecast for the year to earnings of $1.37 to $1.40 a share on revenue growth of 3% to 4% and same-store sales climbing 1% to 2%. The company had previously forecast earnings of $1.38 to $1.45, revenue rising 4% and same-store sales climbing about 2%.
Lowe's also forecast fourth-quarter results bracketing analysts' expectations, with same-store sales flat to up 2%.
"Ongoing uncertainty in employment and housing continues to pressure our industry, but we are prepared to operate effectively in a slow-growth environment," said Chairman and Chief Executive Robert Niblock.
Demand at home-improvement retailers has improved after years of declines, though concerns still remain as unemployment remains high and consumers still reluctant to spend. In August, Niblock said the company would need improvement in the labor and housing markets to support better demand for home-improvement products.
For the quarter ended Oct. 29, Lowe's posted a profit of $404 million, or 29 cents a share, up from $344 million, or 23 cents a share, a year earlier. The results included charges of 2 cents and 1 cent, respectively.
Revenue climbed 1.9% to $11.59 billion, and same-store sales increased 0.2%.
The company had forecast earnings of 28 cents to 32 cents and revenue up 3% to 5%, with same-store sales rising 1% to 3%. A year earlier, revenue had declined 3% and same-store sales dropped 7.5%.
Gross margin rose to 35% from 34.2%.
Shares closed at $21.69 Friday and were inactive premarket. The stock has fallen 7.3% this year.
