After Rite Aid was slammed on its monthly and preliminary quarterly results, should the Foolish investor jump into the stock? Or would a stake in CVS Caremark or Walgreen be more sensible?

After news broke that McDonald's had decided to not only increase its dividends and buybacks in the years to come but also to refranchise some of its locations, shares of the company rose about 1%. To figure out what this means for investors, let's take a deep look at DineEquity.

After Krispy Kreme reported disappointing results for the quarter, shares took a beating. Is this a sign that the company is now cheap enough to buy, or would Starbucks or Dunkin' Brands make for more sensible prospects?

After seeing its shares skyrocket 13%, the Foolish investor might wonder if now is the time to get out of it and opt for The TJX Companies. Moving forward, can Big Lots still deliver big returns, or is the company overpriced compared to its competition?

After news broke that Aeropostale had entered into a $150 million financing deal with Sycamore Partners, shares of the retailer soared 15%. However, these companies aren't the only ones to win big from the transaction; L Brands is also slated to be a winner from the deal.

In spite of mixed results for the quarter, Costco's long-term growth rate has made the company an amazing investment these past few years. Moving forward, should investors look to Whole Foods or Wal-Mart for gains, or can Costco continue to grow?

After posting dismal revenue and earnings, shares of Lions Gate fell hard. Is this a sign that the company's future looks to be in doubt and that DreamWorks would make for a better investment or is this nothing more than a bump in the road?

After posting mixed but generally poor results for the quarter, shares of Guess? fell in after hours trading. In light of these problems, is the retailer still a strong pick or would investors be better off investing in Gap or Abercrombie & Fitch instead?

After McDonald's announced a bold plan to give shareholders up to $20 billion over the next three years, shares rose almost 1%. However, is this plan suboptimal when the company could be focusing on growth by acquiring a rival like Chipotle?

Despite seeing earnings that fell short of expectations, Abercrombie & Fitch's better-than-anticipated sales suggests that the company's future may not be all that bad. In light of this, is the company a strong investment prospect or should the Foolish investor eye American Eagle Outfitters or Aeropostale instead?

After positive news broke over the past two days involving Omnicom Group and an upgrade, can the company keep soaring higher or will its picture continue to deteriorate?

Heading into earnings, some investors might be worried about how Dollar General will do. Despite its amazing growth in recent years, is the business a strong buy moving forward, or would the Foolish investor be better off with Dollar Tree or Family Dollar?

In spite of delivering strong results for its fourth quarter and providing an upbeat outlook, Michael Kors saw its shares barely move on May 28. Given the company's strong performance, is it still a buy? Or would investors be better served picking up Coach or Ralph Lauren instead?

After falling hard in response to a chance that Pilgrim's Pride's or Tyson Foods' offer for Hillshire will mean that the company will no longer be bought out, is Pinnacle Foods about the best opportunity in the market?

After news broke that Pilgrim's Pride offered to buy Hillshire Brands for $45/share, the company's stock skyrocketed 22%. Things got even more extreme when Tyson Foods sent Hillshire's price up another 18% on a $50 bid. What does this mean for each company's investors, and what impact might this have on Pinnacle Foods shareholders?

In spite of strong earnings, a true threat in Wal-Mart still awaits GameStop. Moving forward, can the retailer overcome this hurdle? Or are its days numbered?

After rising 5% on news from Credit Suisse that its shares might be worth as much as $8.50, can Rite Aid keep rising? Or is now the best time to consider investing in CVS Caremark or Walgreen instead?

In spite of the incentive for other telecommunications companies to grab hold of Dish Network following AT&T's bid for DirecTV, a deal involving the provider looks unrealistic.

After PetSmart reported lackluster results for its first quarter, its shares fell hard. Because of this, should the Foolish investor consider taking a stake in Central Garden & Pet instead, or is there still hope left for the pet supplies retailer?

Looking at Costco heading into earnings, some investors are probably wondering what to do with the company's shares. Is now a prime time to jump into the company's stock or should the Foolish investor consider buying into Wal-Mart or Whole Foods instead?
