Just did a quick look around the interweb... Looks like it changed owners again in 2011 to J S Williams. What is really interesting to me is Husky (Home Depot) is a Stanley brand and now Craftsman is Stanley and in Lowes among other places. That's a VERY strategic move on their part.
On the professional parts side, Danaher , also owns the K-D specialty tool name, and Easco hand tools. That happened 25 years ago...

Sounds like Stanley is expanding into every area of DIY stuff. Nice but the question is, do they risk becoming a monopoly at some point? I mean there's already talk of busting Amazon up as one.
What a mess. LOL Looks like KD is part of Gearwrench which is part of Apex. Easco was making Craftsman. Danaher merged some tool brands including Cooper to form Apex. Killed the Easco name and sold off Apex around 2010-2012...

Just like an onion, lots of layers but all just part of the same onion.
A lot like Banks, the big fish eat the little fish.. Pretty much the same, in any industry now.....

Amazon is not a monopoly nor is it ever likely to be one.

It's Café du Monde Monday. Good morning all.
didn't say it was. I'm saying there's some out there who think it is and should be broken up. (I for one do not)

I have a question for the real estate gurus. Are there any here?
Is it better to own 100 percent of one property with a value of 500 grand, or own two properties at 50 percent owned, worth 500 grand each? Both rented at 2200 a month.

One thing about real estate. It's a limited commodity. You just can't take and build more Earth.

It’s a bit complicated and depends a lot on the expense structure.
Agree.
After expenses, clear 15k a year on the one that is paid off. After taxes, and all association fees, and expenses to have it managed and rented.
