Last year alone over 7,000 brick-and-mortar retail stores shut their doors.
And the amount of retail space closing in 2018 is on pace to break records...
For instance, American giant Sears Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: SHLD) filed bankruptcy just last week – proving even some of the biggest names aren't safe in what's been coined "the retail apocalypse."
But there's only one way to profit off this retail decline...
And it's not what you may think...
Get Out of Brick and Mortar While You Can
Brick-and-mortar retail has been on a slow decline for years...
And it's all thanks to the development and growth of online e-commerce platforms like Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN).
But today, we're focusing solely on the company behind the stores we all grew up with – Sears. As you probably saw, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in a "Hail Mary" effort to save the iconic American shopping giant.
As of now, the retailer is planning to close 142 unprofitable stores by the end of the year.

But I'm going to be blunt – doing the exact opposite and not buying any sort of piece of SHLD is the only way to play the decline of this American "sweetheart."
You see, when it comes to these sorts of bankruptcy situations, it can take years for the company to finally dissolve. And that means years for your profits – and that's if they ever come.
And that's just not a risk I'm willing to take...
That said, there's still a way to profit off brick and mortar, and it's as simple as not putting your money in the sector.
Now, the recent market pullback has raised many red flags, but it's made for opportunities as well.
And the one I'm eyeing is on the company that could be blamed for the retail apocalypse the brick-and-mortar sector is currently facing...
You guessed it: Amazon.
With the recent downward slide in the markets, the technology sector didn't make it out unscathed. And AMZN faced its own pullback, dropping the stock from over $2,000 to $1,800...
So there's really no better time to take your money and put it into the company that is trailblazing into the future of retail.
