Bad time to be a company selling overprice goods to middle class snobs who are now broke. Their position couldn't be worse. Since the death of the founder of this chain a few years ago the three incompetent sons have ravaged the company. They are like the three stooges trying to do brain surgery. Th...More

Recs 0 (DDS) crazyrap2009 (< 20) Submitted: 6/23/08 3:42 PM : Start Price: $12.53 DDS Score: 4.14 I think DDS is a great company. If you think back to about 3-4 years ago or longer. DDS found there ninch and right now. I believe DDS is trying to compete with Macy's and walmart's customers. What they need to do is go back to how they did business before, like 5+ years ago. They will find there company does extreamly better long term. Right now, I do expect that this company goes out of business. The one reason why i keep looking at it, is to the fact that I am hoping someone takes over this company and saves the jobs, and saves the Dillard name from being bankrupted. Another Positive I like about DDS is the fact that DDS is old school to there customers. Everything this one on one with the customers, compared to how Macy's and other chains get what merchandice they want and check out, without the one on one attention. How are customers suppose to know the benefit of the merchandise? DDS by far blows everyone else out of the water. As of now on there current level. I see this stock getting lower and lower. The DDS executives need to do whatever they can to put DDS back where they were 5+ years ago. They should also close under performing stores like Springfield Missouri and other locations.
