PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 06/18, Up 31%) Renovations and demographics are seeing millennials doing home upgrades. He still holds it here.
HOLD

He would continue to hold it. For the last 10 years it has been a steady performer in a pretty bleak retail space. They can not get "Amazoned" -- no one can ship plywood online, he thinks. The cost of deliver will keep Amazon out of this space. It is not cheap at 26 times earnings, but it is well managed.

DON'T BUY
Still growing. Biggest problem is valuation. Plus, US housing market, which he thinks is rolling over. Not a lot of demand for what HD sells. Buying back their own stock is a risk going forward too.
WATCH
Nice yield of 2.3%. Trades at 20x earnings. One of the issues is housing growth, which has moderated in the US. Concentrating on customer service, improving supply chain, better merchandise, reducing costs. Doing a very good job of all this, which will continue to drive the stock. Increasing dividend and buying back shares. He just hasn't found the right entry point.
HOLD
Boycott because of Trump? She owns it, but has taken some profit recently. She would hold on for the next earnings report. They relationship with Trump is not a real issue -- its all about housing. Consumer spending is going up and interest rates are declining, which should help reinvigorate house spending.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 24/19, Up 10%) He's still bullish on it. The stock shows good volume. Unless there's a pullback, this will continue to rise.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 29/18, Up 8%) A very simple company. An older US housing market needs a lot of work and the population demographics of millennials becoming home owners. Yield 2.6%
COMMENT
US Home builders. The US home builders market is still way behind from the peak, despite a rapid population growth. Existing home sales are also not substantially higher. He has chosen the play the space through a Home Dept instead.
COMMENT
It's not talked about like it used to. It's huge growth 15 years ago has tapered off. HD lives and dies with the home reno business. It's well-run. It is effected by e-commerce like all retailers though.
BUY
In an up market, testing resistance levels to the downside, so it's more appealing to him.
TOP PICK
Own because of where it is. Testing support lines, and that's where he likes it. At least 10% upside from here. Yield is 2.81%. (Analysts’ price target is $205.03)
HOLD
HD vs. LOW. He chooses Home Depot. Operationally, HD does a fabulous job. Lowes has underperformed. Demographics are working for both. Tailwind of about 5-10% in revenue. Not as susceptible to the Amazon effect. Lowes is a safe place to be, but muted on the growth.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 14/18, Up 8%) It is very, very well managed. He looks at 10 years ago when operating margins were 10% and they are now 16%. Housing formations are still below trend.
HOLD
Earnings came out today and the stock was punished HD is the go-to store for certain products and taking market share from the mom-and-pop shops, like Walmart. They're investing heavily in store technology that will pay off. It has a strong position in its sector, but there remains room for growth, say, outside North America. You won't see 20% upside, but it's a good core holding. US housing will remain strong for longer as interest rates remain low; home renos remain popular. A solid hold.
BUY
Been a decent stock in recent weeks due to investor confidence given that US home spending hasn't been as bad as feared. No red flags here yet. He likes HD and has room to run before recession creeps in down the road.
