It’s a little hard to take this too seriously, but I’ll try just for a moment of distraction...

But first, let’s make some things clear:
1. HD has terrible service
2. HD is usually very understaffed
3. HD is actually a dangerous place to shop
4. The only thing that brings people in are *some* of the prices
5. If price is no object, why waste your time in a huge checkout line or wondering around looking for the stuff you need?
6. I wouldn’t invest my money in HD regardless of profit record

I think your argument is something like: I own stock, I am therefore an owner, management should listen to me.

When I am pretty sure that a management type is just worried about what s/he gets out of the deal. If you benefit also, that’s just a coincident event to the suit fulfilling his or her own self-interests.

What exactly are you surprised about? This is precisely what is wrong with any large corporation. Everyone is supposedly pooling resources to turn a profit, but you as a stockholder are not part of the inner circle -- you’re just a leech. Most large corporations are currently engaged in an endless game of “pump and dump” and you had best hope that you are not left holding the bag.
