Dollar General shares fell 32% on Aug. 29, the stock's worst day ever.
The retailer's second-quarter earnings miss and lowered revenue guidance for the remainder of the year.
But this might actually be a prime time to buy shares in this savvily positioned company.
Dollar General doesn't really go head-to-head with bigger players like Walmart or Target.
The economy is reliably cyclical, but ultimately growing.
The past couple of years have been the exception to this norm.
While it's struggling right now, Dollar General is likely to be faring better soon.
Its stock should start pricing in such a turnaround even sooner.

Anti-immigrant sentiment and xenophobia aimed at Venezuelans has escalated rapidly since the property management company running the three apartment complexes blamed their dilapidated condition on a “takeover” by the infamous gang Tren de Aragua.
Tenants say they are more scared of white supremacists and people with animosity toward immigrants than they ever were of a Venezuelan gang.
Experts say immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people born in the country.
Tenants who had to leave the condemned building last month are struggling to find housing.
Tenants believe the public now thinks they are associated with criminal activity.
Some city officials sided with the landlord and “blamed an ethnicity group,” Reeves said.
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman says the situation has been “exploited for political gain”.
The story of the Venezuelan gang aligns with long-standing tropes that dehumanize immigrants, a professor says.
A 1926 report could not substantiate any link between immigration and crime, he says.
“It’s almost easier to dehumanize people, and one of the ways to do that is to say they are criminals,” Martinez says.

Report reveals a “deeply worrying pattern of bias’ against Israel, authors say.

Lord Austin of Dudley, a former Labour minister, said he is now convinced’ that the BBC’s coverage of the current Israel-Hamas conflict “fails to meet the standards of impartiality and independence on which its public funding is based”.
Asserson report claims freelancers employed by the BBC supported Hamas on social media platforms.
It also criticises Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s international editor, for his reporting of the conflict.
The report claims that a number of BBC reporters have shown extreme hostility to Israel.

A list of 900 alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to Canada could remain secret.
Library and Archives Canada consulted in June and July with a “discrete group or organizations” about whether the list should be made public.
Those consulted included members of Canada’s Ukrainian community, records show.
Some of the individuals and organizations argued against releasing any of the information, warning it could be embarrassing or lead to prosecutions.
Holocaust survivors wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about friends killed by Hunka’s division, the 14th SS Galician.
The division was also used by the Nazis to crush a national uprising in Slovakia, again prompting allegations of war crimes.
Families of Canadian soldiers killed fighting Nazis peppered MPs with questions about why they honoured a soldier who had sworn allegiance to Hitler.
