I have created another video recap for today’s Daily. The link to watch is below. The focus is on our Grandma of the Economic Modern Family — Granny Retail. I use the ETF XRT as the benchmark.
XRT is the largest retail ETF, but not the only one by any means. IBUY is another one to look at for more e-commerce names. IBUY, though, includes companies around the world, while XRT is 100% United States. Hence, XRT is Granny’s moniker, as it also offers exposure to many sub-industries with the retail industry, including apparel, drug retailers, departments stores and computer and electronics retailers.
It’s important to remember that the US consumer makes up approximately 70% of the our economy. Without Granny Retail’s shopping and consumerism, our ecomomy would not the largest in the world.
