No disrespect intended, but who said anything about profit margins. His statement had more to do with top line revenue growth.

No disrespect taken, Scott. It is just that I like to see full parking lots in companies I own. Much better than the other way around, wouldn't you agree? I don't correlate them with profit margins, I think they are a poor man's revenue indicators as Peter Lynch advocated. I don't think I insinuated that they were anything more than that, even though I personally believe they really are. (There is a new book out on what makes "hits" and how to spot them that I intend to get and read soon.) HD seems to be doing ok in the profit margin department.
