Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Alliance Data Systems Corporation as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. I have decided to leave this stock on my Watch List for a little longer, in the hopes that some of the fundamentals will improve.
