tdp2664 InvestorPlace I have two new buys to share with investors for September: namely Check Point Software Technology ( NASDAQ : CHKP ), which helps its customers protect their computers, and Dollar Tree ( NASDAQ : DLTR ), which helps its customers protect their wallets. The Internet is an amazing resource; it has been a key driver of economic growth for this generation. However, it is not without its threats. For an unsuspecting user, a wrong click could wreck havoc on a whole network of computers. Thankfully, we have companies like Check Point, which is a worldwide leader in securing the Internet. The company is particularly known for its ZoneAlarm systems, which are designed to protect consumers from hackers, spyware and identity theft. The company started in 1993 and was at the forefront of the firewall industry. Fast-forward 18 years, and Check Point's products have won more than 200 awards and serve literally tens of thousands of customers. CHKP currently serves 100% of Fortune 100 companies, and 98% of Fortune 500 companies. The company has offices in 18 U.S. states and international subsidiaries in 38 countries. CHKP has shown incredible resilience in the face of the latest market volatility, and it has become a solid and reliable company that will be a great addition to anyone's portfolio. For this company, the bottom line speaks for itself. On July 18, the company reported second-quarter revenues and earnings per share that trounced consensus estimates. Sales rose 15% and earnings rose 25%, which led to a 3% earnings surprise. The company said it saw particular strength in intrusion-prevention systems and application-control software during the quarter. Looking forward, Check Point raised its third-quarter sales forecast to $300 million to $308 million and its operating earnings guidance to 67 cents per share to 70 cents. For consumers looking for a bargain, Dollar Tree delivers. Consumers shopping at one of their 4,089 U.S. locations can buy any of the following types of items for just $1: housewares, glassware, dinnerware, cleaning supplies, candy, snacks, food, health and beauty supplies, toys, gifts, gift bags and wrap, party supplies, stationery and craft supplies — and the list goes on. The Chesapeake, Va.-based company's roots go back more than 50 years, and the company has striven to maintain its track record as the largest and most successful single-price-point retailer in the U.S. Dollar Tree's success lies in its tremendous bargaining power with its suppliers; it can get wide variety of practical items for unbeatable prices. Also, Dollar Tree recently has expanded its reach by launching a shopping website where customers can get products shipped to the nearest store or to their doorstep. As the company knows, one of the best ways of coping with thinning wallets is to stretch each and every dollar. So, while lean times hit other retailers particularly hard, Dollar Tree stores flourish! Sales for the second quarter totaled jumped 12%, net income spiked 22% and earnings rose 26% per share over last year. Now is the perfect time to add DLTR. So, scoop up shares of this conservative stock.
