What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga's Stock of the Day is Home Depot, which is nearing two hundred eighty-eight dollars. Lola Cruz is live at a store. Lola?
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm in the lumber aisle of a Home Depot. I have covered warzones with better lighting, and fewer forklifts.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentBenzinga says that two eighty-eight level used to be support. Now it may be resistance. Failure to reclaim it could trigger another downtrend.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThat's a chart term. Down here, resistance is a man named Gary who will not let me touch the orange apron display.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola, is Gary part of the Benzinga analysis?
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentGary is part of my analysis. Hold on, sir! Sir! Stop walking with that toilet! BBN needs a comment!
Darren PruittI'm Darren, a weekend contractor. I came for one flapper valve and I've been here ninety minutes. My wife thinks I'm dead.
Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentDarren, the stock is near two eighty-eight. Is that support, or resistance? Please be gentle, I'm tired.
Darren PruittLady, the only resistance I know is a stripped screw. I bought one toilet and six hundred dollars of caulk.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. That is an opinion on caulk, not a price target. Home Depot is the story. We'll watch two eighty-eight into the close.
