Just look at the chart.

ROE is better than any of the listed competitors on Google finance, and the only one of its kind to pay a div, whose track record is really well.

1-yr return is 15+%, and 5-yr return is 99%, plus the divs.

If FDO does poorly, then hopefully that means the rest of the economy is rising, so kinda a win/win.
