I do like HD as a position in my portfolio, but I dropped Lowe's sometime back (I think I moved the proceeds into SCHD).  In general, I won't be keeping positions that can't at least keep up with SCHD.

$5k arrived today from selling company stock.  It is SO much fun to sprinkle the proceeds around.  Feels like I'm watering the plants  But started a new position in Capital One Financial, which I hadn't realized is doing so well this year.  As usual, I'm late to the party.

One upside to spreading it around is you don't get killed when an individual stock has a a couple bad weeks which clearly bothers you enough to impulsively trade.   LOW pretty much = HD.  They stole their CEO from HD.  LOW had a few bad years which is why he is their now.  He knows what is in the HD secret sauce.  Last I checked (and owned it), LOW valuation was better.
