Lowe’s has an interesting history. The original founders made sure that employees shared in the profits. When I went to work there in 2002, there were tales of older employees who were millionaires, or close to it because of the ESOP (employee stock option plan) set up. lt changed to 401ks once I arrived, after it became more “corporate” and the vultures moved in.

One share bought in 1961 equaled 240 shares in 1996; that’s how often the shares split.

Probably all my money—My name is Decatur and I have a nailgun habit.
