Since there were positive proverb

 Since there were positive numbers for same-store sales, it served as a bit of a surprise that moved the stock price up. Had those sales shrunk, there would have been a surprise to the down side as well.

 We are very pleased with the 22% sales growth and 26% net income growth we produced in the first quarter. Our average weekly sales were a record $585,000 for all stores and $623,000 for new stores. Our 13% comparable store sales growth this quarter marked our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit comparable store sales growth, and despite the fact that our average store size continues to grow, our annualized sales per gross square feet increased to an all-time high of just over $900. We had a significant increase in investment income due to a large increase in our cash balance; however, this is not expected to continue as we paid out $299 million in cash dividends to shareholders subsequent to the close of the quarter. Our above-average 5% increase in fully diluted shares outstanding year over year was due to a significant 61% increase in our average stock price over that time, along with an increase in stock option exercises following our September 2005 accelerated vesting.

 The weakness in the stock price, despite the better-than-expected earnings, is due to the company saying it sees same-store sales (sales at stores open a year or more) in the second quarter rising 2-to-4 percent, when yesterday (Monday), Lowe's said 4-to-6 percent.

 January is turning out to be a real surprise to the positive. So far the same-store numbers that we're getting aren't bad at all.

 I thought the result would have been a little more even because of the dire news that we were getting after Thanksgiving about slowing sales. So this (sales showing) is a pleasant surprise,

 They've had lighter [numbers] in the past two quarters. There might have been some inventory fluctuations that would actually help them and have a small impact on sales numbers on the positive side. Otherwise, I'm expecting numbers to be in line with consensus.

 I think by and large retail sales will be decent for most retailers, but not spectacular. Most will come in with same-store sales very much below the formidably high same-store sales of last year.

 They have moved incrementally in the right direction on the cost side. There is still a greater uncertainty on the revenue side. Just look at today's weaker sales numbers.

 Since it's a quiet day in economic news, I think retail sales numbers are the big story out there today, and they seem to be a little disappointing, especially clothing store sales.

 The weekly claims number is as good an indicator as there is; we watch weekly chain-store sales numbers for clues on retail sales; and the confidence numbers have not correlated with spending by any mans, but they have captured the spirit of the economy in the past couple of months,

 This bodes well for hopeful dollar bulls in the event that the U.S. retail sales or producer price index surprise on the upside [Friday].

 We were truly at a break-neck pace for home sales in January and February, likely the result of unseasonably mild weather, so it comes as no surprise to see sales decline to a more sustainable pace.

 The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection.

 With the surprise jump in new home sales and the outsized rise in existing home sales, we now see that widespread talk of the demise of our moderate economic recovery has been somewhat exaggerated.
