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 and the indicators that I describe in my book The Confident Investor are favorable. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns.

Since ADS is only a Fair company and I know there are many Good Companies out there so I will be removing Alliance Data from my Watch List and finding another company to add to it in its place.

If you would like to understand how to evaluate companies like I do on this site, please read my book, The Confident Investor. You can review the best companies that I have found (and I probably invest my own money in most of these companies) in my Watch List.
