Preferred provider can mean at least 2 things..

1) You have to be on the company's preferred provider list in order to do business with them. Usually you have to meet strict requirements to get on the list,

2) Less formally... All things considered a preferred provider will get the work before a non preferred provider..

My 2 cents ;>)

Anyone care to comment on Homebase(HBI) split off Waban last year, looks cheap realative to book and sales, they are having some problems, some certainly associated with the major remodeling they are doing in the stores. The trends seem to favor this sector, as well HD is supposed to benefit from the Asian fallout, should also help HBI.
