ronnysawyer	poor execution and sorry ceo	Hate	September 04, 2009
barrons3	Now capitalism gets frustrated by the endless private-equity firms that keep trying to catch falling knives, from Linens & Things to the Office Depot (ODP) fiasco, where a private-equity firm put in $350 million to keep the chain alive. That's not good news for Office Max (OMX) or Staples (SPLS).	Love	July 30, 2009

Stockpickr Staff	"I see this group moving, but I still like best of breed Staples (SPLS)" (<a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10491721/1/mad-money-lightning-round-buy-general-dynamics.html" target="_blank">"Mad Money Lightning Round," 4-24-09</a>)	Love	April 27, 2009

barrons3	The data suggest that risks rise as a stock heading lower breaks through certain price points. Institutions may not be permitted to own stocks trading below a set level, like $5. And very low-priced stocks may be subject to greater volatility owing to less liquidity, decreased visibility and research coverage, and the potential for delisting from a major exchange and exile to an over-the-counter venue. Also, margin-buying opportunities become more restricted. Among the stocks that have dropped below $5: General Motors (GM), CB Richard Ellis Group (CBG), CIT Group (CIT), Office Depot (ODP), and Sprint Nextel (S).	Love	March 28, 2009

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "I do not like retail. There's only a handful of discounters I like, like Costco (COST) but that's it. Retail is too hard."	Love	July 11, 2008

wrberryhill	Tried to pick low point, but it has dropped 9-10 points since I bought. Any thoughts on a possible recovery?	Love	September 13, 2007
barrons2	Q: Where else are you looking for bargains? A: Another one which has had a temporary problem is Office Depot [ODP]. Their margins are well below some of their competitors'. They can improve their margins. Their return on equity has recently moved up to the 20% area; return on capital, to 18%. There's the CEO who moved in about two years ago, Steve Odland. He was at Eddie Lampert's company, AutoZone. Office Depot has earnings power of $2.50 a share, and is selling at $22. We bought it three years ago at 15. We sold it in the mid-30s and just recently bought it back.	Love	August 25, 2007

Barrons	Barron's 4/16/07 "Selling office products and services is about as unsexy as it gets -- until you consider the numbers. Take Office Depot, the nation's second-largest operator of office-products superstores, which rang up a 30% annualized gain in earnings in the past two years. The company, based in Delray Beach, Fla., also generates substantial amounts of free cash, which has enabled it to build new stores, remodel old ones and buy back some $2 billion of stock in recent years. That's a lot of paper clips. Even better, these days, Office Depot's shares (ticker: ODP) are cheap. At 35 apiece, they have fallen almost 25% from their 52-week high of 46.52, and sport a price/earnings multiple of 15 times 2007 estimated earnings."	Love	April 14, 2007
Greg NTG1 Parker	Office Max "lovers" should check out the Depot instead. Rising profits. Reasonable valuation. Not as good a bargain as cornflakes or soap, but better than a sharp stick in the eye. One thumb up.	Love	March 02, 2007
