Domino’s (DON) growth has been a bit slow in recent quarters, mainly due to competition from third-party delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. While I think those companies will eventually fail, their rapid market share gains are a significant threat to Domino’s long-term profitability.
While Domino’s stock has been on a decline since its all-time high in late 2018, the company still has several strengths that make it a great investment. In this article, I’ll outline why Domino’s is a great long-term play, and I’ll also explain how to buy shares of the company at an attractive price.
Domino is a set of 28 small, oblong tiles marked on both sides with an arrangement of dots called “pips.” The top surface of each domino has a line or ridge, while the bottom surface is blank or identically patterned. The pips are typically arranged in two sets of four, with one set having white and the other black, but some styles have all white or all black pips. Each domino has a value, indicated by the number of pips on its upper face, and the value is used in a variety of games to determine the order or position of the pieces.
The most common game uses a double-six set of dominoes. The tiles are arranged in a line with each player taking turns placing a domino on the end of the line, matching the value of the piece already placed. The goal is to get rid of all your tiles before the other player does. There are many other games that use the same basic idea, including blocking and scoring games.
Dominoes are available in plastic, wood and other materials, but there is something special about a well-made wooden domino set. Many people prefer the feel of these sets, which can be made in a wide variety of shapes and styles to suit different tastes. Some sets are even hand-painted and decorated. There are also many different types of engraved designs that can be used to decorate the pieces.
For those who enjoy domino art, there are some truly amazing creations that have been made with the help of these tiny little tiles. Some artists create straight lines that just lay flat on the table, while others create curved lines or grids that form pictures when the dominoes fall. Still other artists create 3D structures such as towers and pyramids.
If you’re interested in learning more about domino, there are plenty of resources available on the internet. There are also many books that detail the rules and history of different domino games. One of the most extensive is The Great Book of Domino Games, by Jennifer A. Kelley. This book is available in both print and e-book form. There are also many free online resources, such as the domino rules page on Wikipedia. I encourage you to check them out and find a new way to enjoy this timeless toy!
