Sorry you fellows didn't have the fore site to buy HD.
One of my clients asked me what I thought about penny stocks. I told him I didn't think about penny stock at all and never wrote an order for one.
He tried to convince me we could make money with them. He talked me into putting up $100 to match his $100 and we bought his recommendation.
You guessed it. HD. That was back in the 1980's. We got in at about 23 or 24 cents. When it went up to just over 30 cents we took our profit.
Hell fire, what did you expect us to do. It was penny stock. That guy is still my friend and I don't believe either one of us ever look at HD again.
I had no idea where the price was.
