This Is Hands-Down the Most Extreme Profit Upside of 2020

I'll come right out and say it: I've always dreaded and hated grocery shopping. Even during the best of times, before "social distancing" and "quarantine" were a way of life, I just couldn't stand it; I avoided it whenever I could.

Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and trips out – to mostly empty shelves – became a roll of the dice with my health… fuggetabouddit.

Looks like I'm in good company: Retail sales tanked more than 16% in April as the pandemic took hold. By May, they swung back and rebounded more than 17%, but even that was around 6% lower than May 2019.

Hundreds of millions of other consumers have, too. It's created an extremely bullish setup for the entire e-commerce segment.

And I don't think that boom is over, not by a long shot. That means there's plenty of time left for "smart money" moves in this space… Full Story
