In this episode, we compare two major dollar stores, Dollar Tree and Dollarama. We break them down to see which one stands out as the better business and long-term investment. We break down Dollar Tree’s recent decision to sell off its struggling Family Dollar segment, analyze key financial metrics like margins, free cash flow, and valuation, and contrast that with Dollarama’s performance and business model. From store growth to customer trends, we dig into what sets these two retailers apart and which one looks more compelling going forward.

"We have conducted a comprehensive review of T-Mobile's policies, programs, and activities, and pursuant to this review, T-Mobile is ending its DEI-related policies as described below, not just in name, but in substance."CEO Mike Sievert: CNN Business recognized Mike as “CEO of the Year” in 2022, and Yale honored him in 2024 with its “Legend in Leadership Award,” in part due to the impact of these initiatives.UPS Drivers Are Battling Deadly Heat—Without A.C. in Their TrucksWhy is the company dragging its heels on updating the vehicles, as the new union contract requires?As part of the contract the union negotiated with UPS in 2023, the company is now required to provide workers with several protections against the kind of extreme heat many of them are facing across the U.S. right now. Those include readily available clean water and ice, as well as access to “cool zones” and the right to take and extend breaks when they feel overheated. The contract further mandated UPS to install fans in the largely non-air-conditioned warehouses where packages are sorted and loaded, and in the front of vehicles. Delivery trucks have also been outfitted with heat exhaust shields and vents. UPS Teamsters, though, are still waiting on some of these historic protections. UPS is required to equip its fleet with at least 28,000 new air-conditioned delivery trucks by the time the current contract expires in 2028; toward that end, all new vans UPS purchases after January 1, 2024, are supposed to have air conditioning. As of last summer, CNN reported, it hadn't bought any. UPS Brand Management Representative Becca Hunnicut did not directly answer my questions about whether UPS has purchased any new delivery vehicles equipped with air conditioning since the beginning of 2024 and if any of its delivery trucks currently have air conditioning. She wrote over email that the company is “installing air conditioning in all new delivery vehicles we buy and adding them as quickly as possible,” adding that UPS does not “publicly share the number of vehicles we purchase” and that it is “prioritizing deployment in the hottest regions.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research shows MM DR84 percent of investors polled, who hail from North America, Europe (including the UK) and Asia, said that poor governance was the main driver of activist investor attention.Investors also largely (71 percent) favor activism targeting the board on governance and management change versus operational (10 percent), balance sheet (3 percent) or M&A activism (3 percent)MM: Tesla announces Nov. annual meeting under pressure from shareholders, but may still be skirting lawAssholiest of the Week (MM):Democracy73% of votes cast in alternative democracy were for directors in the US0.01% of directors up for a vote were voted out - incumbency rulesWe know governance in corporations isn't working, and it's the primary driver of activism: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research showsGovernance proponents were the only winners in the shareholder proposal space with an 18% win rateWe know money doesn't care nearly as much about performance as it cares about power status quo:Vote Gap - directors batting .333 or lower on TSR vs. average vote at the companyAverage vote gap was actually +1.3% - bottom directors outperformed average vote at the companiesWe know that only 22% of US directors have “merit”, but we know that more than 1 in 4 directors are connected to each other through other boards and non profits - including the CEOSo we should all fucking lose our minds when…New York's Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest - no more buying electionsJamie Dimon criticizes Zohran Mamdani as 'Marxist,' blasts Democrats' DEI push: 'Big hearts and little brain' - shut your fat mouthAdvertisersYour ads are now next to AI for middle school boysGrok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters”Grok's harmful outputs come at a time when advertisers have just begun returning to X, after X first sued advocacy groups publishing reports of hate speech on the platform, then sued advertiser groups who boycotted the platform allegedly partly due to those reports.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Country Store Update Canning Season Is Started Dried Herbs For Sale – Packaging Ideas Broccoli Score and How to Freeze It Weekly Shopping Report From Joe: Food City: The pet food aisle was well-stocked. Then we hit the usual places, next stopping at Dollar Tree. The drink selection continues to change, although the shelves remain full. There's not a lot of Monster left, and I'm seeing a distressing number of “zero sugar” alternatives. These typically contain liver toxins disguised as artificial sweeteners. Fortunately I'm seeing a few choices made with cane sugar. They don't have caffeine, but I'm trying to cut down on that anyway. The tag in the store has lately been missing, but the online price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot is still $3.85. Aldi was last. Other than my preferred chocolate (I had to choose the 85% alternate), we found everything else we wanted. There have been a few more price changes since the last report, with decreases bigger than increases. Staple prices were: Bread (20 oz. white): $1.39 Eggs: $2.96 (-) Whole milk: $2.72 (+) Heavy cream: $5.29 OJ: $4.25 Butter: $3.75 Bacon: $3.99 Potatoes: $3.49 (-) Sugar: $3.29 Flour: $2.35 80% ground beef: $4.69 Untainted regular gasoline at Weigels is still $3.59/gallon. No frugality tip this week. Operation Independence Attempt to launch the glamper rental LOL Main Topic of the Day: The Hidden Cost of Constant Distractio What happened when I deleted tiktok from my phone - it got me to observing. Every major mistake I have made involved an interruption Slow progress So I did a test - I became hardcore about interruptions, including leaving my phone away from me completely for hours at a time, setting alarms for benchmark tasks, and setting better boundaries. Better sleep, better health, better focus I pissed off some folks and hurt a feeling or two Why do people resist stillness so hard? Fear of rejection They never learned to be alone Not following their purpose and they know it Using distraction to avoid processing trauma or other things Then it hit me - distractions aren't just digital—boundary violators are distractions too. We all have encountered people who don't care a whit about your boundaries because what they need is more important to them. Who push beyond what is reasonable. And who seek to manipulate you when they realize that you are not going to play along. What happens next is: Character assault Temper tantrums Manufactured crisis So much more But what about being available to your true friends and your family? The delio is this - If you need space to accomplish things, then your true friends and family will not only understand when you create that space, but they will help you do it. And if they won't one of two things is true: You are not honoring your commitments to relationships (We've all done this) They arent a true friend or nontoxic family member Because you are building YOUR life on YOUR terms to fulfill YOUR purpose And that NEED to be constantly available and responsive? Is it truly a need because your Mom is in the hospital? Or is it a way to feel important? And what price are you paying by letting the distractions happen without end? Just some food for thought.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos las cuentas de la cadena de supermercados Dollar Tree. Si bien es cierto que sus cuentas se quedan por debajo del radar del mercado. Sus números del primer trimestre cobran importancia por el momento de incertidumbre arancelaria que vivimos. Y las previsiones no han sido nada buenas. La compañía cree que podría tener un descenso del beneficio de hasta el 50%. Aún así, Stewart F. Glendinning, director financiero de la compañía, piensa que podrán aguantar los efectos de los aranceles. Aunque las previsiones no han sido buenas y eso haya hecho que el valor se haya dejado más de un 8% en Bolsa, los números del primer trimestre si son más esperanzadores. Su beneficio por acción de 1,26 dólares supera en cinco centavos a lo previsto por el mercado. Alcanza también ingresos de 4600 millones de dólares y suben un 11% pero aquí la nota negativa vuelve a ser las previsiones. El mercado esperaba que fueran de 4.600 millones de dólares. Aún así Mike Creedon, Director de operaciones de Dollar Tree, valora de forma positiva los resultados. Además, Creedon se muestra optimista con el futuro, sobre todo por el cierre de tiendas de Family Dollar. El 28 de marzo la compañía toma la decisión de vender su negocio Family Dollar a los fondos Brigade Capital Management y Macellum Capital Management por 1.007 millones de dólares. Hay que recordar que en 2015 se hace con Family Dollar por 9.000 millones de dólares. 8 mil millones son los que ha perdido. La empresa parece ahora que vuelve a los orígenes: ofrecer alternativas económicas a productos que son más caros en otras tiendas. Aquí la política de Donald Trump puede jugar a favor de la empresa: la exención de minimis hará que los productos de Shein y Temu sean más caros. Tal como afirma la empresa en su página web dos tercios de sus productos se fabrican en Estados Unidos. La compañía, eso sí, necesita cambiar sus resultados ahora y es por eso que llevará a cabo una subida de precios en algunos de sus productos, lo que hará cambiar su política de empresa. Dollar Tree ya no mantendrá el límite de 1,25 dólares en muchas de sus sucursales. Es algo que se le puede volver en contra al minorista, como le pasó a Starbucks cuando eliminó ventajas de sus clientes premium o a Costco cuando encareció sus perritos calientes.
P.M. Edition for June 4. Dollar General and Dollar Tree have reported bumper first-quarter earnings. WSJ reporter Suzanne Kapner joins to discuss what that shows about consumers, and about the state of the U.S. economy. Plus, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that President Trump's tax-and-spending megabill would add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. deficit, as Republican senators are demanding changes that could alter its price tag. We hear from WSJ tax policy reporter Richard Rubin about how the bill might shift. And the Trump administration threatens Columbia University's accreditation. Alex Ossola hosts.

Dollar Tree (DLTR) sold off despite posting a double beat in earnings. Chris McMahon thinks the current stock price is a "sale" and sees significant upside over the next 6 months. That momentum is expected to come from boosted foot traffic and higher price tags. Nick Raich isn't as bullish, calling its weakened guidance over tariffs "an excuse" for Dollar Tree. He points out the company's past trends of lowered guidance.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Dollar Tree (DLTR) has $1B in cash, something that Ed Butowsky says will keep the stock in a "growth mode" as it eyes expansion into old CVS Health (CVS) storefronts. He believes the tariff impact is hard to assess as even the discount retail companies themselves don't know how to give guidance.

Bis auf Hewlett Packard Enterprise, sehen wir auf die meisten seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Ergebnisse Gewinnmitnahmen. Die Aktien von Asana, CrowdStrike und Dollar Tree stehen folglich unter Druck. Gleichzeit werden die Aktien von Apple bei Needham wegen der hohen Bewertung und der flauen Wachstumsaussichten abgestuft. Der Wert sei erst in einer Spanne von $170 bis $180 wieder attraktiv. Was die Wirtschaft betrifft, wartet die Wall Street auf die Mai-Arbeitsmarktdaten, die am Freitag gemeldet werden. Laut des Lohnabwicklers ADP hat die Privatwirtschaft im Mai nur 37.000 Stellen geschaffen. Die Wall Street rechnete mit 110.000 neuen Jobs. Ansonsten treten heute die Stahl- und Aluminiumzölle von 50% in Kraft.

US stocks struggled to advance as fresh data pointed to a slowing economy, with sentiment dented by a soft US jobs report that snapped the Dow Jones’ four-day winning streak. Interest rates fell as investors bet on potential Fed rate cuts, fueling a surge in home builder stocks. Meanwhile, DollarTree has warned of a looming profit hit tied to possible Trump tariffs, while Tesla shares declined after weak sales data in Germany and China. In Europe, markets ended higher, with German stocks boosted by a newly announced tax relief package. Closer to home, Aussie shares are expected to open flat, hovering just shy of record highs.

Dollar General (DG) investors were happy to see a double-digit rally in shares after earnings. Arun Sundaram doesn't see those gains lasting. He points out the company's underperformance over recent years and a lack of in-store traffic growth as bearish signs for Dollar General. Ahead of Dollar Tree's (DLTR) earnings Wednesday, Arun notes the company's tariff exposure as a risk but cites price increases as a positive. George Tsilis later turns to options trades for both discount stores.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This community-focused episode delivers unexpected insights into what makes creators tick when the cameras aren't rolling.Candy taste tests kick off the conversation, leading to the surprising discovery that Dollar Tree's Cow Tails dramatically outperform name-brand Gushers. From there, we dive into the creators we secretly wish we could befriend, with Travis sharing fascinating stories of meeting major YouTubers in their homes and what they're really like behind the scenes.The conversation takes fascinating turns as we reveal our strangest YouTube rabbit holes (did you know there's a proper way to butter bread at formal events?) and confess our most irrational content pet peeves. Jenn's hatred for improperly held lavalier microphones and Travis's frustration with misleading thumbnails spark a hilarious debate about the little things that drive creators crazy.Perhaps most valuable is our honest discussion about maintaining enthusiasm when motivation wanes. Rather than pushing through burnout, we explore how small changes and experimental formats can reignite creative passion—a refreshing counterpoint to typical creator advice.Whether you're a longtime listener or first-time visitor, this episode offers a genuine glimpse into creator psychology and the sometimes bizarre digital worlds we inhabit.
Today we are discussing The McLoud Blackberry Festival in McLoud, Oklahoma. The McLoud Blackberry Festival, which began in the early 1940s, is one of the oldest food festival in the state of Oklahoma. Originally a celebration of the local cash farm crop, blackberries, the festival combined with an annual town picnic to form a larger event. The town received national media coverage in 1949 when the McLoud Blackberry Growers Association and the McLoud Chamber of Commerce sent a crate of berries via overnight air freight to President Harry Truman. He said they were "the best he had ever tasted" and declared McLoud to be the "Blackberry Capital of the World". The association disbanded in 1963 due to a poor market, and farmers moved on to a more lucrative crop, but the festival continues to be an exciting event for the city and now draws tens of thousands of attendees from across the nation. Enjoy quarts of fresh blackberries as well as dozens of other treats like blackberry jam, blackberry cobbler, blackberry cinnamon rolls, blackberry snow cones, and funnel cakes topped with, of course, blackberries. Blackberry-themed drinks include sodas, teas, lemonade, "wine-aritas," beer and, of course, wine. The festival also includes carnival rides, craft vendors, food trucks, a huge parade through downtown, live music (with The Great Divide headlining Saturday night), a 5K and fun run, and more. See if you have what it takes at the "Cobbler Gobbler" eating contest, and enter your blackberry creation into the baking contest to see if you can take home top honors. This family-friendly event concludes with a dazzling fireworks display on Saturday night. McLoud was founded in 1895 with the first post office opening on June 21st. It was named for John W. McLoud, a railroad attorney. McLoud became known as the Blackberry Capitol of the World during the 1940s after President Harry Truman was sent a crate of blackberries by the Blackberry Growers' Association. McLoud is a rural community with small town charm and the convenience of large town proximity. Among the small town charm are friendly faces seen among town at local shops and restaurants. Also discussed Dollar Tree, Think Ability, Marietta, Governor J. Kevin Stitt, and McLoud Chamber of Commerce. Special thanks to our partner, Think Ability.

Where is Jennifer Cahill-Shadle??On May 15, 2014, Jennifer (Jenny) Cahill-Shadle vanished without a trace from State College, Pennsylvania. At 4:51 p.m., surveillance footage captured her leaving the Walmart on North Atherton Street, walking across the parking lot toward the Dollar Tree store. Jennifer had been going through a rough divorce and was living in low-budget motels until her spousal support of $5,000 a month kicked in. She was hoping to start looking for an apartment or home to rent so she could move on with her life and provide a home for her three children. But that would never happen.Where is Jennifer Cahill-Shadle?Thank you for supporting our mission. You can find the 'Where are they?' Podcast on all major podcast platforms.

Today I'm fired up from the Spring Workshop and a pretty fantastic concert we had yesterday with my choir in Cookeville, tn. We will share the stories, the people, the late-night brainstorms, the amazing food, and yes... the sea sponges. If you've never been to one, this episode will be a fun listen and if you have - I hope you enjoy the journey through LFTN25.

Weekly Shopping Report I made a trip on Tuesday to Food City for a couple of bags of flour and a 22 lb. bag of Meow Mix (that our cats ask for by name); and Walgreens for the goop I put in my eye at night (“Stye”) so it doesn't dry out. Only the first Tuesday in the month is Walgreens' “senior day,” when Grumpy Old Men (and women) get a discount. For our usual trip, the weather gave us a clear stretch amidst the bands of heavy rain on Thursday. Most people must have decided to wait, as there was little traffic. Dollar Tree was first. They're finally out of the big non-carbonated Monsters I was getting, but there were plenty of other choices. Stock levels throughout the store looked good. Sonia has been able to find some craft items in there lately. We also went to Hobby Lobby for some acrylic paint. We didn't walk around the whole store looking at other stock, but I didn't see empty sections or anything else odd. Things may change with the tariffs on Dragon Country, but not yet. They were “normal-busy” with a short wait to check out. The online price of a 2x4x8 stud at Home Depot is still $3.85. Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $4.97; whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $4.09; butter: $3.49 (-); bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.39; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% ground beef: $4.59. Untainted regular gasoline at Weigels is still $3.59/gallon. Operation Independence I had a great conversation with John Pugliano this week that's helping bring clarity to the next big project here at the Holler. I'm still sorting out the details, but it's one of those moments where a few things click into place, and you realize what really needs to happen next. Hint: It starts with some RV spots. Main Topic: Behind the Scenes at the LFTN Spring Workshop Today I want to pull back the curtain on what really makes the Spring Workshop special—not the agenda, not the official sessions, but the stuff that makes it unforgettable. Glenn's Rum – He always shows up with something we've never tried. This year? It was memorable. Let's just leave it at that. Carnivore Scotch Duck Eggs – Y'all, the food. This isn't your standard workshop fare. It's duck eggs. It's bacon. It's food that fuels you for real work. Alan Booker measuring brix – Alan showed me how to measure brix in my plants, gave me a compliment, then called my leaves "aphid food." And you know what? He was right. Patrick Roehrman's precision strike – My one-of-a-kind MT Knives kitchen knife got used to slice a carpenter bee out of the air. No, really. While it was flying. Emily Zanotti Skyles and the plantain spit war – She left fired up about wild edibles. Her kids? They took that knowledge and turned it into backyard ammo. The greenhouse swim spa debate – We planned to function-stack a greenhouse over the swim spa… and ended up realizing Nicole just needs to bury her electrical lines already. Ian's moment – On his way home, Ian stopped by his family land and decided: it's time. That's the kind of clarity these weekends bring. John Pugliano and Meshtastic – He helped all of us finally understand how Meshtastic works—and why it matters. Leos' pop-up blacksmithing – Did I mention we had a surprise forge session? Because of course we did. Glenn's hamburgers – Day one. Fire. Flavor. No notes. Gavin and the birds – Gavin wandered through the holler like a nature monk with binoculars, pointing out the birds we miss every day. Jack Spirko's bioreactor breakthrough – Sometimes the right fencing and weed cloth are all it takes to spark a better compost design. Community eggs – Between scotch eggs, scrambles, and three separate egg suppliers, we fed the holler crew with ease—and had leftovers. Late-night wrestling matches – You know who you are. I won't name names… this time. Pocket door rescues – Multiple saves were made, but one prepper decided to handle it solo. Mad respect. The sea sponges – If you know, you know. And finally—YOU – The participants. Every single person showed up not just to learn, but to help each other figure out their next chapter. So why haven't you taken your shot? Is it the money? The time? The fear of people? Or do you just think you're not good enough? If it is that last one, take a good hard look at that because you are. You are good enough. You deserve to build your dream. And you can do it - it may look different when you get there than you thought it would, but you can go further - but it takes hard work, strong community and it takes being a DOER. Make it a great week, GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Alex Morris to the show. Alex is the founder of TSOH (The Science of Hitting) Investment Research and an author. TSOH, which boasts more than 20,000 subscribers, aims to generate attractive long-term returns while providing complete transparency on the research process, portfolio decision-making, and returns. Alex kicks off the show by discussing the inspiration behind his new book, Buffett and Munger Unscripted: Three Decades of Investment and Business Insights From the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Meetings. He goes in depth on what he learned from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger in the process of crafting his book, including understanding incentives, management turnover, and which macroeconomic factors are important. (1:46) Next, Alex talks about the "pointed" questions Buffett and Munger got during the dot-com era from shareholders who doubted their abilities. Then he breaks down his own investing style, how that style has evolved over the years, and how he got interested in investing in the first place. This leads to a discussion about struggling retailer Five Below (which Alex is keeping an eye on to see if it can turn its business around) and Dollar Tree (which Alex owns and still likes today). (19:53) Finally, Alex delves further into the retail space. He discusses Costco Wholesale versus Walmart, the importance of retailers understanding their core customer base, why Dollar Tree is misunderstood, geographic retail strategies, President Donald Trump's tariffs, and a U.K.-based mixers company he finds attractive. (40:24)
