Today’s TOP TIPS [The “Retail Isn’t Dead” Trade May be Stalling Out]( As far back as 2017, analysts were calling for the death of retail, particularly with mall-related names. As e-commerce and big box stores increased their market share, the traditional mall seems to have died out. Covid didn’t help either. Yet many of these names have moved higher in the past few months. That’s partly market optimism, and partly these stores pivoting towards online sales as well.
