Should reap benefits from it's many investments over the past couple years. Look for increasing dividends and takeovers of smaller competitors.

Solid company in that sweet spot of high dividend growth, low payout ratio. WW Grainger sells maintenance equipment and owns Lab Safety Supply Inc. Cheap at 1.1X sales with only modest debt.

companies are often looking to spend their budgets before fiscal year and usually go on spending sprees in May-June. It's often a time to "use it or lose it" and companies buy crap on their wish-lists.

Steady performer for patient investors who want to grow a portfolio without a lot of anxiety during these volatile times. may not keep pace with the S&P in the short run but in a tortoise and hare scenario it will prevail.

Grainger's sales have been awesome YTD even though most industrial sectors have seen otherwise. Fastenal can't provide the value-added services that Grainger provides. The only real threat for Grainger in most markets is MSCdirect and McMaster-Carr; however, Grainger is holding their own.
Sales for June and July should be outstanding due to recent flooding in the Midwest.
Once the stock hits $98, bail and move on.
