While most fixate on tech and whether Twitter is shadow banning conservatives, the mall is alive and thriving. Hell, aside from the SAAS returns this year, retail is right behind it — sporting +20% YTD gains.

So what stocks to buy? This is simple. Get into Exodus and sort by Sharpe ratio and our technical algorithms and voila. Let me show you the results.

Specialty/Retail
