Profit from the Death of 40 Retail Stocks

The death of retail is here, as abandoned shopping malls decay and some of the largest department retailers file for bankruptcy.

It's easy to see that the retail industry is going extinct. But very few people actually know how to profit from the death of retail stocks.

Retail StocksThat is, few people outside of Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani...

He's compiled a list of 40 retail stocks that are expected to implode in the near future. And while some mourn the long-awaited and overdue collapse of the retail sector, Shah will not.

He's a capitalist and won't apologize for it.

But his strategy isn't shorting failing companies, which is generally expensive and risky. In fact, Shah doesn't like shorting these stocks because there's not enough profit to be made.

Instead, he found a specific trade that can allow investors to repeatedly extract tens of thousands of dollars from dying retail stocks.

In just a bit, we're going to show you how to profit from the death of 40 retail stocks.

But first, we want to make sure our readers know just how bad things are going to get in the retail industry and how it could lead to your next profit opportunity.

Retail Stocks Are Plummeting, Creating Your Next Profit Potential

By 2025, real estate research firm Green Street Advisors projects more than 15% of U.S. malls will be converted to non-retail space or fail.

And the biggest culprit is the death of iconic retailers...

You see, department stores in malls are called "anchor stores." With just one or two anchor stores, other businesses within a mall benefit from the foot traffic.

Malls Keep Closing

However, Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) completely changed the way Americans shop, providing consumers with more options, better prices, and convenience. According to Pew Research, just 22% of Americans did their shopping online in 2000. Now, that number is 80%.

"Would you rather get in your car, schlep to some crowded parking lot, wander aimlessly through packed aisles, deal with long lines and rude people, only to potentially wind up leaving empty-handed? Or touch a button on your phone from the comfort of your own home and get the exact item you want delivered in 48 hours?" Shah said.

Retailers were too sluggish to adjust to the change in consumer habits, and now companies like Circuity City, Sports Authority, Quiksilver, and Aeropostale are distant memories.

And there will be even more trouble in 2017 for retailers, as Credit Suisse projects 8,600 U.S. department stores will close their doors.

But Shah feels no regrets for making money from their downfall.

"Every single day more of them are lining up outside the pearly gates. There are too many to count. Do I feel bad about this? Hell no. 90% of these retailers deserve to fail miserably. Why? Piss-poor management... greedy CEOs... just plain-dumb marketing decisions."

Shah believes every American has the right to be a multimillionaire. And the death of retail is an opportunity to make a killing. And today, Shah will show you how...

If anyone knows how to make investing profitable, it's Shah Gilani.

Shah is one of our most prominent and respected investing "gurus" here at Money Map Press - and for good reason.

He's been "in the game" since 1982, when he launched his first hedge fund from his seat on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He worked in the pit as a market maker and refined his knowledge of the credit markets on the trading desk of Lloyds Bank in London. Shah is also a seasoned veteran of old-line New York and Boston investment banks and trading houses.

As an analyst, he not only called for the implosion of the U.S. financial markets in February 2008, he predicted the historic rebound that began in March 2009 in a lead story for Money Morning. As Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon likes to say, "When Shah predicts, I listen."

Shah studied economics and psychology at UCLA. He now lives in Miami, where he is a managing member of a private-equity company.

And his attention right now is on the demise of the retail sector. He's even projecting another retailer will be sentenced to termination in May 2018.

Why?

Well, it's wasting LITERALLY billions of dollars a year to stay open.

And for what?

To display its overabundance of...

  • Broken light fixtures...
  • Empty shelves...
  • Leaky ceilings...
  • And cracked floors.

Over the next few months, he plans on helping an elite group add $1.6 million to their net worth as virtually every retail stock in America suffers the same irreversible fate.

But he only wants to share his research with like-minded people...

  • People who believe in free speech...
  • Who aren't afraid of being branded by America's rabid PC idiots...
  • And who have the guts to grow rich from businesses that DESERVE TO FAIL!

If you fit the bill, you can watch Shah's presentation and find out more about this next profit opportunity right here...

Editor's Note: Doomed-to-fail companies could be your entry ticket to millions. In fact, targeting the worst stocks in America is the BEST way to get rich - if you know how to do it. We've created The Bankruptcy Almanac that pinpoints more than 40 companies and could help you make over $1.6 million or more. Don't wait -- get your copy now...
