If you can get the market to correct at least 10% (900+ Dow points), then you'll probably get HD at your price. Otherwise, I expect you'll never again own HD -- until you decide to buy regardless of price. Then you'll be paying more that what you'd buy HD for today.

$40? I hope you don't hold your breath. Considering HD is one of the SP 500 stocks and the degree with which index funds are funneling money into those stocks, the market would also have to tank ~30%. Paraphrasing Dirty Harry, "Would you have the guts to buy into a downdraft of that magnitude, Punk? Well, would you?" Personally, I have done this before, but it does not come easy. Punk was in the original quote, nothing personal by it here. :>}
