Dollar Stores in a Shifting Economy

NYCB’s $1B cash infusion should steady the struggling bank, but don’t expect Fools to be jumping into the stock. And Family Dollar’s footprint gets a bit smaller.

(00:21) Matt Frankel and Dylan Lewis discuss:

- Family Dollar’s plans to close almost 1,000 locations over the next few years and what it says about the state of discount retail and real estate.

- New York Community Bank’s cash infusion and reverse stock split and why it’s still not enough to get Matt interested.

- The banks to watch instead.
