| Are you ready to see something that could blow your mind?  This chart tracks the e-commerce penetration as a percentage of total retail sales. From 2009 to 2019, e-commerce grew from 5.6% to 16% of total retail sales. In just March and April of 2020, it grew from 16% to 27%. Put it this way... In just eight weeks, e-commerce saw a whole decade of growth. 2020 has already been one of the most pivotal years in modern history, with a global pandemic, a precarious market, and increasing unemployment. With lockdowns and quarantines stretching over the US, retail institutions are being hit like wildfire. Already, J. Crew, Neiman Marcus, and JCPenney have filed for bankruptcy, the most recent casualties brought on by what some are calling a retail apocalypse. But that doesn't tell the whole story. Because while yes, some retail brands have taken a major hit so far in 2020, one particular sector has seen explosive growth: ecommerce. While retail is expected to face a $2.1 trillion loss due to the lockdown, ecommerce is booming, seeing a 209% increase in April, compared to 2019. Businesses like Target have seen a 275% increase in ecommerce sales, while Walmart saw retail sales jump 20% in March, alongside a 190% increase in downloads of their grocery app. It's indicative of the new retail world we're living in, where businesses adapting to the landscape take a huge lead and old giants who don't adapt get left behind. But it's not a new one. Ecommerce has been nipping at retail's heels for quite some time. Let's go back to 2002 and a young investor named David Gardner. David knew that retail was a ticking time bomb, but nothing was there to light the fuse... Until a small book company from Seattle changed the world. When Amazon entered the scene, not many people knew what to make of them. But David knows a winner when he sees one. In fact, he recommended that followers of his investing service, Stock Advisor, immediately buy shares. What happened next made history. Since then, Amazon has seen record growth, and investors who bought shares when David told them to have seen gains of 20,044%! But David hasn't stopped there... Because now David thinks he could have stumbled on another ecommerce opportunity reminiscent of his early calls on Amazon. But he's not stopping there. In fact, he has a stable of five handpicked stocks to capture this growing ecommerce landscape. I think it goes without saying that when an investor of David's pedigree speaks, it literally pays to listen. And we believe the biggest returns could be yet to come. Which is why I don't feel like I'm very far out on a limb with this "bold" prediction: Five years from now, you'll probably wish you'd bought these stocks. And the good news is that you can find out all about these companies behind this ecommerce boom today. What I've told you so far is just the tip of the iceberg...
