re: HOM

Arnie,
that is only one part of their revenue I posted the strategy section of HOM's last quarterly... a good and growing part of their top line comes from "home management" services.. moisture control, pest control, cleaning solutions etc..

yes they provide kitchen remodeling and recently "deepened" this by a vertically integrating acquisition of Cornerstone.. this provides them with a readily available channel into Home Depot and Loews also..

You are right this is more risky than IPII, but it's piggybacking on entrenched channels and a nice sector roll-up. Plus there's a succesful bellwether firm in the same segment (Servicemaster, SVM on the NYSE)

all the best and thanks for the kudos
CROSSY
