Default wall street journal

Joe, the WSJ printed a press release that it was given by Home Depot.
Newspapers print press releases (if they have space, which depends on the
source of the press releases; big advertisers like HD, which run a lot of
expensive, full-page ads, can get a lot of such space). They don't
investigate or proofread them. So, IMHO, it's HD that's full of it, but has
sufficient advertising budget to get its "it" printed as "news" ... But if
you really pick thru it, they probably have an out -- the $10 orchid in the
headline was the red Oncid, as best I could tell; the rest of the article
was on Catts and Phals, unless I missed something.

Did you note that the $10 orchids were 19.95? Not a 10 buck orchid in
sight! Here in Houston Lowe's is at 24.95 and HD is the same. The WSJ
is full of it!
