Staples stock is actually a good buy right now. It's been crap the last few years and is currently sitting around 8 bucks a share. (Down from around 21 a share just 3 years ago) However, they recently acquired Office Depot/Office Max, in which the sale should be final in Q1 of this year. They're just waiting on regulatory approval. Once that happens the stock should go up significantly making them they largest office supply company in the world and dominating the market.
It's a good buy right now, though you could wait and see if it drops another dollar or two, but.. if you wait too long you could miss the boat. Once it's finalized the stock will likely double overnight.
