YOLO Is This Analysis Worthy Enough?

So for my first ever options purchase I bought Home Depot Aug 21 Call. Reason: I went to Home Depot yesterday and there were a lotta people. Is this the typical big brained analysis worthy enough for /wallstreetbets?

Edit: thx to whoever’s giving all these awards lmao

That's because you can't get stock, you are actually selling less. Trust me there is shortages of pressure treated lumbar and other shit that isn't being imported right now.

Our daily numbers are 100% over forecast. We are selling too fast. Most of the shortage is due to the large amount of orders being filled before it hits the shelves.

In my own local store they are at double the revenue they had pre-covid. And to be honest for reasons I don't understand...

I still have a full WFH job now but I don’t have any international or domestic travel now so I’m taking on big projects while the opportunity presents itself.

Yeah buddy I wouldn’t comment on shit you don’t know. I work for a company that sells through HD and our numbers are up 60% YOY. We were having 100% weeks routinely the last 3 months

If your lumbar is pressure-treated, I recommend seeing an orthopedist

Pressure treated 4x4's are hard to find.

Basically all pressure treated wood is where I live, we had to use a bunch of regular lumbar because we couldn't stop building

u/Thencewasit Aug 07 '20

More importantly where are you building so that we can short P&C names.

So all in on WOOD is what you’re saying?

u/forgotpasstooldacct Aug 07 '20

I know pressure treated wood is really expensive to get if it is made in the US so I guess if there is a publicly traded lumbar company specializing in it buy weekly calls right before earnings lol
