Looking at how SW has grown internally and through aqusition in the past 20 years, this trend will not stop. Their stores are well staffed and are leaders in new paint technology.

Over the last 10 years the PE multiple for SHW has been reletatively stable between 13 and 14. Given that the company expects to earn $3 to $4 a share in 2009 the most optomistic 12 month price target that I can justify is $56 a share. This would be a good exit point.

Businesses and homeowners are painting and redecorating, rather than switching offices or doing full-on renovations.

Great cash flow, strong market share, good management

More people seem to be staying put these days in as much as the real estate markets have cooled down, people should be fixing up what they've got which should bode well for paint sales.

gobs of intangibles and goodwill that will be need to be written down. Sells at around 10x tangible book value. The A/R will prove to be a source of trouble too.

Even with a housing market such as we are and will continue to do so through 2009; home owners, people looking to sell their homes, et cetera will be purchasing paint -- lots of paint. Unfortunately, some of these aforementioned people might -- think that by pinching a few pennies -- in an extremely important improvement will buy a paint other that Sherwin-Williams. Short-term this may work out for those looking and deploying cheaper paints but they are only doing damage to themselves as Sherwin-Williams (albeit, a more expensive paint) is such an exquisite paint that it is worth spending those few extra pennies. I honestly believe, if put to the test, I would be able to easily distinguish something painted with Sherwin-Williams as opposed to another paint.
Then again some believe that there is a difference in taste between Pepsi and Coca-Cola -- I have no doubt that there is!

Good recession play

Have owned stock for more than 30 years. A well-managed company with "common sense." Something sadly lacking in many large corporations.

Lower homeowner spending. Imploding housing market. Declining commercial investment. Looking forward, this stock is overvalued.

This Company has proven to be aware of market trends and have implement all the needed measurements to obtain margins on their products. That include: prices, store management, inventory and all related components. They will be affected as any other companies by this actual economic stuation but will obtain better results than most of them all. I think shareholders should be patient and at the end of the year there will be positive dividends.
