Home Depot announced that it grew slower than the overall home-improvement market. That's a humbling development for a company used to years of category-killing and known for mercilessly driving smaller competitors out of business. <A href="http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2007/02/07/home-depot-some-repair-work-with-shareholders.aspx" set="yes">Former CEO</A> Bob Nardelli's strategy had involved growth in the do-it-for-me supplier business where contractors and other professionals help homeowners improve their homes. Unfortunately, this may have hurt the company's bread-and butter, do-it-yourself retail store performance.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CFD81112-5B36-4244-9464-BD309BC3118B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
