Wolseley may put Stock Building Supply on sale block

Look at the london stock exchange. Look up wos. Wolseley has lost a ton of money In one year. Now that the AMERICAN housing market is down, why would a BRITISH company want anything to with SBS. A company that sales are down 25%. Cost 204 Million to operate. I hope SBS gets sold. ASAP.

Joe blow your not a team player.
You people are running scared! go back to work and do your job.

Some of you seem to think that all of Stock Building Supply's resources are directly tied to new construction of production and multi-family housing. We do a tremendous amount of business in the custom home and remodel sectors as well, and guess what? People with money don't care about your dire predictions.....they are out there spending it, lots of it with Stock. How do all you nattering nabobs of negativity look at yourselves in the mirror evry morning without cringing? Buck up, life is beautiful, do yourself, your employer and the economy a favor and go sell something!

Wow... great point point Jim... Tell me something I don't know. You may wanna watch who your talking to, I may be your boss someday.. Take Care!

You the man trussman! Well said!

As a former employee of Stock I can truthfully say that they are hurting and it's there own fault. I watched things being sold below cost time and time again. The decisions they make would raise eyebrows in any company and the daily decisions only get crazier by the minute.

Nice job TCB!! We must ban together brother against these kool-aid drinking soul less idiots! Once the industry cleans itself, it will be so much better!

Jim, you talk about helping the economy. Who's economy do you think you are helping by purchasing from SBS. Oh ya it's owned by Woseley a foreign company. Try helping the U.S. economy by getting stuff from an American owned company. Pro Build, HD supply, and BFS. Wow those are the three compaines in the article who could buy SBS.

On a serious note, Wolseley stock is up again! Hooray!

Now you know that's just silly, don't you. All the Stock and Ferguson employees earning a living and paying taxes here in the good ol' US of A are helped every time someone pruchases from Stock. Your arguement is ludicrous, sir.

Way to go Jim! Keep those but heads in line Joe Blow and Rob!
