(Blog 2) Blue Chips - The Home Depot, Inc (HD)


HD - The Home Depot


Based on the 6-month stock market chart, The Home Depot has been very successful regarding the selling of stocks. Hurricane Sandy has made a huge impact towards the successful The Home Depot stocks. Throughout October, the sales were relatively low, and after the storm ended sales improved, but dropped again. it wasn't until FEMA gave support to families, that The Home Depot sales sky rocketed. After November, (December - January) The Home Depot hit the highest peek on the stock market chart. During the beginning of 2012, The Home Depot stocks cost ($42.14) and yesterday its sales were ($70.24). That’s a pretty large improvement compared to the beginning of 2012.  Here’s a link, bringing you to the 6-month chart showing the changes throughout September – February.


Based on conditions, in today’s economy, there is a possibility that The Home Depot can still improve and grow in profit, but this is unlikely, because the majority of property lost from Hurricane Sandy, has been repaired or replaced. Many people no longer rely on companies like Home Depot, to purchase materials needed for construction projects. Based on this economic climate, I personally feel The Home Depot will slowly begin to decrease in profit. I personally would sell my stock if I had any, because it is at its peek, and relatively companies at their peek, begin to drop.
