#1 Their location local to me down here never seemed to slow down during the scamdemic.

I was initially surprised noting the GA HD's in my area don't seems to have the same Customer numbers as LOWE'S.

But given Lowe's is more of a Homeowner update/basic repair store and HD is more of a Contractor Warehouse so I adjusted my thinking.

Pre-Inflation cost vs. Inflation Retail pricing.
What would the reported first-quarter earnings look like adjusted for the scamdemic costs of 2020 vs. the 2021 INFLATIONARY prices they were selling for in the 1st qt.

Whatever the reason. We'll know if its a Industry wide great 1st Qtr., when Lowe's announces its numbers on its Earnings Conference Call at 9am today or on 5-28-21 at the share holders meeting.

#4 Home prices SKYROCKET. Guess what else 'skyrockets'.... next years property assessments.

Just remember, taxes on the middle-class are not going up under plugs.

#5 I go to Lowe's first for the service, but sometimes it seems I can only find something at Home Depot. YMMV, I guess.
