The Shopping Mall is De

Retail has been the best performing sector over the past year, by a fairly wide margin. Whilst headlines of JCP, Toys R Us, and SHLD closing up shop take center stage, the rest of the retailFAG sector has been on fucking fire.

Aside from Jeff Macke, has anyone else even looked at apparel stores? This has to be the most hated sector in the history of the market — vehemently reviled and spat upon by scores of people who believe the mall is, in fact, dead. The idea of taking hard earned dollars and investing it into mall based operators seems, on the surface, like the stupidest things a person could do. Yet, lo and behold, it has been the best.

To make money in retail, you would’ve have to been a complete idiot or genius. It just goes to show you the market always takes the path to screw the maximum amount of people at all times. I bet you think retail is good now and have decided to dive in headlong without caution. As soon as you do that, the water will be removed from the fountains at the shopping mall and your head will crack in half, causing your brain fluids to leak out — leaving you retarded and broke for the remainder of your days till expiration.
