Dollar General is a stock that will probably continue to benefit from any significant downturn in the market and general consumer confidence. It's not too far out from earnings but it does seem to dip into the run into them and bounce out, so buyer beware, but might be one to watch. I'd probably want to see another day of increased pricing and move above its 50 day MA before I would look for an entry. Alert set.
