Can Consumer Stocks Hang in There?

I have created another video recap for today’s Daily. The link to watch is below.

The focus is on our Grandma of the Economic Modern Family-Granny Retail. I use the Retail ETF $XRT as the benchmark. 

XRT is the largest retail ETF but by all means, not the only one. IBUY is another one to look at for more e-commerce names. IBUY htough includes companies around the world while XRT is 100% United States.

Hence, XRT is Granny’s monkier as it also offers exposure to many sub-industries with the retail industry, including apparel, drug retailers, departments stores and computer and electronics retailers.

It’s important to remember that the US consumer makes up approximately 70% of the our economy. 

Without Granny Retail’s shopping and consumerism, our ecomomy would not the largest in the world.
