Jim Cramer announced he's adding to his position of Dollar General in his Action Alerts PLUS portfolio. He explains that with lower gasoline prices and more discretionary income in the pockets of consumers, that extra spending money doesn't have as big an impact on the big broad line retailers as it does on the dollar stores. Cramer says the dollar stores are magnets for the extra pocket change. Therefore you want to be bigger in Dollar General because they could have the most upside surprise. When you look at Ross Stores, TJX, Dollar Tree and Dollar General, Jim Cramer says Dollar General has the best growth characteristics and it's the stock to be in.
