Analysis of:VGB Act Uncertainty Hits Residential Side | www.poolspanews.com

While comparing a swimming pool to a car is more than a stretch of imagination, it will be a helpful exercise for the layperson, in order to better comprehend the implications of the new law that went into effect December 19, 2008.  Please know and understand that virtually every existing inground swimming pool and spa--except for those possibly installed within the last year--commercial and residential, will be required to retrofit the main drain to comply with the new law.  This retrofit procedure, both the component and the process, will be somewhat akin to replacing every air filter on every automobile in the U.S.--without opening the hood.

Opportunistic Poolcorp (POOL) Grabs Marketshare

Analysis of:Poolcorp buys Spanish Distributor | poolspanews.com

Sound, long term financial health and economic resiliency was brandished quietly by Poolcorp(POOL) in this recent acquisition of Spanish distributor, Proplas.  The deal was finalized and signed on Oct 1, 2008.  Taking advantage of the slumping worldwide economy to purchase at a bargain price and gain a better foothold in a heretofore minority position, Poolcorp has wisely increased their market share in this Western European onclave.  Expanding market share in a down market is not only a smart tactical move, it is commensuarte with Poolcorp's overall strategy to improve minority market share whenever it makes good sense to do so.  Having the financial clout to casually complete this acquisition, when crony-like, regional industry competitors are struggling to simply keep their nose above the chlorinated water line, Poolcorp continues to exhibit more of their industry leading muscle flexing.

Poolcorp(POOL) Adjusting to the Landscape

Analysis of:Poolcorp ConferenceAddresses Market Downturn | www.poolspanews.com

This piece is important to investors because it draws a clear outline of where the industry has been, where it is now and where it might be headed in the near and long term future.  Representatives from Poolcorp(POOL) indicate at their annual conference that today this tiny, leisure industry is off more than 65% from the historical highs of 2005, with home equity extraction back at 1998 levels.  Nearly every sun belt pool guy agrees with the Poolcorp spokesperson, when they say that we are still in a declining market. However many pool industry veterans who are still standing in this economy, reluctantly yearn for the industry to auger through the sandy bottom and finally hit rock in the first half of 2009--thereby setting the stage for a rather inauspicious return to normalized growth in 2010. Adjusting to the new business landscape is vital, as new pool contracts go the way of the Dodo bird and maintenance, repair and replacement elbows its way to center stage for those that remain.
