There are a few popular names for what brick-and-mortar retail is going through right now: "Amazon-ization," the "Retail Apocalypse," or, my own personal favorite, the "Retail Ice Age."
The good news for traders is, there are even more ways to make money on companies with sagging sales and collapsing stock prices.
The thing is, not all retail stocks are headed directly for extinction. Some left-for-dead retail names have seen dramatic price spikes.
Which is more good news for traders, because it's also easy to make money on beaten-up retail stocks when they do break out to the upside.

The brick-and-mortar retail "ice age" is quickly enveloping traditional grocers in its big chill.
As if more brick-and-mortar competition on the ground isn't bad enough, grocers are now being forced to chase customers who are tired of old-style consumer packaged goods (CPG). They are being wooed away by fresh food upstarts, meal-kit delivery services, "basket bandits," and the Amazon.com Inc. army with its never-ending onslaught of online marauders.
Competition and structural disruptions in the $649 billion grocery space (as of 2016's total revenues), with its average profit margin of barely 2%, are going to create new winners and kill off the slow-moving, undercapitalized, and overly indebted big-name grocers.

Michael Kors Holdings is buying high-end shoe retailer Jimmy Choo for $1.17 billion.
On the surface, it looks like a smart acquisition to add the high-profile, high-heeled fashion darling to the Kors stable of upscale offerings.
But there's a lot more to it.
The acquisition is a huge gamble on a new old strategy that Kors initially succeeded in executing… then royally screwed up.
Based on what Kors' management said about their plans for Jimmy Choo (and their own uphill battle in the Retail Ice Age), any wrong moves now could sink Kors stock and any hope of reclaiming the high ground and fat profit margins the brand once commanded.
