Agree

I find it laugh out loud funny that the Fidelity people are still bankrolling Probuild, and building these new stores in "84 Country." I've been to 84 country, but did I miss something? Pretty country, but not much different than any other bum F backwater. The Fidelity people must have some kind of recessive/inbred gene that clouds their perceptions, right?

Gorell Windows filed Ch 11 this morning. Steve G and management are out. Jeld-Wen closes NWilkesboro mid Feb. It's not getting any better.

BFS deserves a big round of applause in only losing $16 million last quarter. Way to turn the thing around guys. Cocaine and champagne for everyone!!!

havent been on this post for a while, glad to see nothing has changed- I hope SBS goes down BIG in flames and all those big wigs who thought they knew what the hell they were doing by promoting their buddies, cronies and all the rest of their favorites get theirs while those of us who took it in the butt stand by and get our final laughs- what they did to so many former great locations, great people and great customers is a sin and a shame- had they listened to the former owners and former salesmen who knew the industry and markets, they might have made a go of it- but no they made the decision to take everyone who knew what they were doing and knew the building supply business out of having anything to do with running the operation- and then put former insti print film managers, tire store operators and anyone else who didnt have a clue what the hell roof trusses or Random Lenghts was, in a position of power and authority- and they wonder why their business went down the toilet like a turd- betcha they also voted for Obama too....they got what they had coming to them, just a shame all the lives they ruined in the process....

Let's close down stores that are paid for. And start leasing buildings and equipment.. Yeah that's real smart losing money before the month even starts. PB is still in bed with COX.

Still hurts my soul when guys like poovey still at Stock getting paid. When all the men and women who made Stock out in the street. Just another example of America management team ; must have came from our dear Presidents school of management .
