After all, Dunn is a Best Buy vet and has had a hand in making Best Buy the top consumer electronics retailer in the U.S. With Anderson and Dunn running the show, Best Buy rose past every competitor and held the larger mass merchants at bay.<br /><br />The retailer has not had an easy time with the recent consumer spending slowdown, but its fundamentals are very solid and it retains a competitive advantage. Consumers continue spending money at Best Buy, and voting with dollars is a sign of success. <a href="http://www.startribune.com/business/38077989.html?elr=KArks:DCiU1OiP:DiiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU">Dunn will face one of the hardest times</a> in Best Buy's history since consumers have tightened their collective purse strings. Still, he is the right pick and Best Buy's long-term future continues to be very bright, the current retail malaise not withstanding.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/28/with-new-ceo-best-buys-future-looks-bright/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>With new CEO Best Buy's future looks bright</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/01/28/with-new-ceo-best-buys-future-looks-bright/">With new CEO Best Buy's future looks bright</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 28 Jan 2009 11:45:00 EST.
