[Turn Your Images On] [Matt Clark, Research Analyst]( Spyware … malware … bots… These terms were hardly mainstream just 10 years ago. Now, almost everyone with a computer and internet connection is aware of what these words mean. U.S. businesses used just 15% of their IT budgets on cybersecurity measures in 2020. In 2022, that percentage jumped to 24%. People are taking cybersecurity more seriously as attacks on individuals and companies increase by the day. But with our Stock Power Ratings system, you can see that while the cybersecurity market is growing, some cybersecurity stocks are not.

[How it works is simple…]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe Retail Isn’t Dead After All [Turn Your Images On] [Michael Carr, Editor, The Banyan Edge]( The pandemic brought unthinkable tragedies to millions around the world. It disrupted everyone's daily lives. This resulted in shifts in consumer spending as consumers stayed at home. Sales of leisure wear soared as offices emptied. While at home, consumers bought Pelotons, had Wayfair deliver furniture, and asked DoorDash and Blue Apron to bring them food. Airports, theaters and brick-and-mortar stores were as empty as offices. Earnest Analytics used credit card data to track these trends and they found consumer behavior is largely back to its pre-pandemic normal. The report notes: We see, for example, that the pandemic caused sales to more than double in the short-run in the furniture e-commerce and restaurant delivery categories (green boxes). Conversely, COVID caused declines in excess of 80% at their non-digital counterparts, in-store furniture and sit-down restaurants (red boxes). However, we also see that by June 2022, sales in most categories – including the four aforementioned categories – reverted back to their no-pandemic baselines. Investors can't afford to ignore this data. Much of what the experts said a year ago was wrong. It was hard to believe significant furniture buying would move online. Most of us like to sit on a couch before we spend hundreds or thousands of dollars. We need to review our assumptions about retailers. Physical stores and shopping mall REITs may have significant upside potential. Subscription services and online specialty retailers may have downside potential.
