Stockpickr Staff	"You've got this incredible all-at-once retail thing going on," he said, which is sending stocks across the board up, including Target (TGT), Williams Sonoma (WSM), Tiffany (TIF), Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Family Dollar (FDO)." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10590925/1/cramers-stop-trading-all-at-once-retail.html" target="_blank">Stop Trading!, Aug. 21</a>	Love	August 27, 2009
barrons3	In the latter theory the big durable good numbers and existing-home numbers are "in" the stock market. I say that because some of my hardest-hit names are directly linked to a stronger economy -- 3M (MMM), Caterpillar (CAT), Deere (DE), Fluor (FLR) and General Electric (GE) -- while the recession stocks are rocking: Procter & Gamble (PG), Celgene (CELG), General Mills (GIS), Pepsi (PEP), Coca-Cola (KO) and Abbott Laboratories (ABT). Worse, Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Family Dollar (FDO) are on the move.	Love	August 27, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	On <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10590925/1/cramers-stop-trading-all-at-once-retail.html" target="_blank">"Stop Trading!" today</a>, Cramer said that retail stocks are going up across the board, from Dollar Tree and <B>Family Dollar</B> (FDO) to higher-end companies such as <B>Williams Sonoma</B> (WSM), which he said "can't be going up if people are in a recession."

CASHRICHFIELD	Good store to shop for financially strapped people.	Love	April 16, 2009

barrons3	Family Dollar, Big Lots, Dollar Tree? When you are really in a jam you can go to these places. I don't care for Big Lots but I like my Dollar Tree, and if you are on a tight, tight budget, there simply isn't a reason why you wouldn't shop for food at Family Dollar.	Love	March 05, 2009
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"All the negative stuff is a vicious overreaction. I think they're OK, but I like Family Dollar Stores (FDO) even better."	Love	February 09, 2009
barrons3	Dollar Tree's (DLTR) a tough one because the trade-down theory is at work everywhere except, perhaps, at the ultimate trade-down. I wonder if it is execution, and I know that Family Dollar (FDO) has some margin improvement to come, so it might make a good buy down 2.	Love	February 05, 2009
barrons3	Goldman's addition of Dollar Tree (DLTR), a great performer, up 68% year-to-date to its conviction sell list, is another example of downgrades gone wild.	Love	December 26, 2008
lnslucy	I figure that these are hard times and everyone is trying to save. Where can you get so much for less- the dolla store!	Love	December 10, 2008
JiMi G	07-DEC'08: Dollar Tree, Inc. -No retail chain will do better (save maybe Walmart) in this economy. Price/share @ start = $34.30	Love	December 07, 2008
barrons3	Buy - Price 42 on Nov. 25 by Wedbush Morgan Q3 EPS of 47 cents...[beat] guidance of 40 cents to 43 cents/consensus 44 cents. Q4 guidance is for $1.07 to $1.15 EPS on sales of $1.38 billion to $1.42 billion, and low to low-mid-single-digit comps [same-store sales] ...Q3 comp of 6.2% versus 1.9% beat our estimated 3%....Strong merchandising, including ability to flex the in-demand consumables category, is attracting new customers....We're raising our full-year E-EPS to $2.50 (from $2.44); guidance is $2.45 to $2.53. Reiterating Buy; we believe DLTR's momentum should continue through the holidays.... Raising target to 44 (from 43), which assumes DLTR should trade at 16.5 times our revised '09E EPS of $2.68 -- a 10% premium to our projected longer-term earnings-growth rate of 15%. Market cap: $3.7 billion.	Love	November 29, 2008
barrons3	The largest retailer of items costing a dollar or less was among the most active names on the Nasdaq Tuesday.	Love	November 25, 2008
barrons3	1. Dollar Tree (DLTR) and 2. Family Dollar (FDO). Total trade down, makes a ton of sense, can go up for some time. I believe that the possibilities of a mini-bull market in dollar stores are playable on any weakness.	Love	November 20, 2008
barrons3	Buy - Price: 34.10 on Oct. 14 by Wedbush Morgan We reiterate our Buy recommendation as we believe that Dollar Tree's business momentum should continue through the holiday season and that its results should look good relative to other more discretionary retailers'. We remain confident that the company will continue to execute its top-line driving strategies.... Our $43 price target assumes DLTR should trade at 16.5 times our 2009 EPS estimate of $2.60, or at a 10% premium to our projected longer-term earnings growth rate of 15% despite the challenging macro environment. Market cap: $3.1 billion.	Love	October 18, 2008

pvcmpd	If Bernanke lowers rates then retailers' stocks will do well. This stock trades up and down with most retailers. If he does not lower rates then I think that their same store sales numbers will be up because dollar stores will be good ways for people with cash-flow problems to save some money.

sarah z	This economy is a Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. (DLTR) economy according to Jim. Even if the Fed cuts rates in time to save homeowners they will still be spending less and this means cheaper goods and dollar stores look like good investments. By the numbers DLTR has reported its sixth straight quarter of increasing traffic and second straight quarter of higher sales per customer. They will have items that cost more than a dollar and will be accepting food stamps as well. The company is private now and the store count should grow. Family Dollar Stores, Inc. (FDO) currently has two times the number of stores of DLTR so there is the benefit of expansion. DLTR has better growth with same store sales clocked in for DLTR at 4% while FDO is only at 1-2%. Waiting five days before buying was recommended.	Love	August 23, 2007
Joann058	I believe it is a good safe investment for the present time.	Love	August 22, 2007

Barrons	Upgrading to Peer Perform from Underperform. DLTR is currently trading at 8.4 times trailing Ebitda. In light of the announced takeover [of] Dollar General at an estimated 12 times trailing Ebitda, we believe the risk/reward is even. While DLTR has been able to drive top line sales effectively, operating income growth has lagged.	Love	March 17, 2007
moniquemaverick	I think it is a solide performer and will hold up in a downturn	Love	March 09, 2007
