With a tenuous retail season rapidly approaching FDO offers a way to play low end retail that isn't Wal-Mart. There could very well be a 15% pop prior to February 2010.

Most people will need to stretch their dollars for at least the next couple of years and FDO will profit from it.

Behavioral finance play. Consumers now being praised for saving, so no shame in the dollar game.

CEO with a long tenure and with family blood in the discount retail business. Operating in a weak economy with high unemployment should benefit them. Excellent fundy's with a rising dividend, high ROE, and a clean balance sheet. Their aiming in smaller communities where Walmart isn't the dominant player. Should be an excellent investment with the new found American consumer frugalness.

3/16/09 Pitch: Upthumb. Earnings 4/8/09, 10:00 AM Excellent free cash flow. Good sales growth. Slowing capital spending. Very low debt.
Past trades:
9/25/08 Pitch: Downthumb. Earnings 10/3/08, 10:00 AM Big fat down thumb based on excessive optimism and likely pricing pressure regardless of SSS figures that may lower margins. Why would you want to buy a retailer in this environment that sells for a P/E of 18? On 12/17/09, I added, Earnings 1/7/09, 10am. Too much starry-eyed optimism. Closed 3/9/09 @ $31.16 for -59.07 points. (So much for strident negativism toward a company with such good financial statements.)
