Though HD is by the nature of it's business somewhat protected, the internet is a huge threat to retailers. So far, HD just doesn't get it. The longer the time passes without HD establishing dominance and brand name awareness, the harder it will be. For instance, books are fungible, but Amazon dominates because they were there first with the best. An obvious beginning point with HD is tools which are ideal for www sales. I rally can't understand why so many retailers seem to be clueless about how to sell on the www. Except for groceries and clothes, probably over half of my purchases are on line. Eventually this will be true of the general public. HD is doing a great job with the present but they are flubbing the future.
