Why did it take so long for Sears, one of the kings of retail, to fail?
Actually, it hasn't failed. Sears stock may be worthless, but the stores are still around.
That's because they're evolving. If the department stores survives, it will be thanks to the effort of employees implementing changes fit for the current competition.
This type of evolution at Sears and other retailers has me absolutely giddy about owning the top REIT I'll show you today.
