Retail is in trouble. With the ease of shopping on Amazon, endless choices available online, and the industry's failure to keep up with the times, brick-and-mortar retail operations have been crushed. True tales of struggling chains, plunging stock prices and even bankruptcy have become commonplace in the once thriving retail sector.

However, within this chaos and wealth destructions lies the opportunity.
A few retailers are stepping up to the plate by revamping and providing today's consumers what they demand. By doing so, the sinking ships are righted, ushering in the new era of retail.
One way I like to identify investment opportunities is by boots-on-the-ground observation. Looking for investment opportunities has become so ingrained that it is second nature. In other words, I do it without even thinking about it and do it all the time, even on vacation!
The first firsthand observation is how I noticed this rare winning retailer.

Best Safest Stocks To Invest In 2019: (LVMUY)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
Ferrari may be a carmaker but its valuation is more similar to those of luxury powerhouses like LVMH (OTCPK:LVMUY), Kering (OTCPK:PPRUY) or Richemont (OTCPK:CFRUY) than those of fellow car companies like former parent FCA or Germany's Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY) or Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY). No other automotive brand, luxury or volume, can compete with Ferrari's operative EBIT margin of 22.69 percent and EBITDA margin of 30.3 percent for the full year 2017 (the runner-up being Volkswagen-owned Porsche with a margin of 17.6 percent for 2017). In my eyes, this is further proof of the fact that a Ferrari is not primarily a car but a luxury product. It just happens to be a luxury product that presents itself in the form of a car. The overwhelming majority of cars are purchased out of necessity. Even a premium product like a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW will in most cases remain a tool of transportation above everything else - although I could imagine that some of my fellow countrymen from Germany would fiercely disagree with me on this. No one, however, needs a Ferrari. Please note that I allow myself to exclude needs of the ego from my definition of necessity here. Still, Ferraris are in high demand. That is because customers don't buy them because they need but because they want them. It is this passion that ensures the company's success. It is noteworthy that at Ferrari revenue (+10 percent in 2017; +11.2 percent currency-adjusted) increases at a significantly faster pace than shipments (+4.8 percent in 2017) do. This underlines the business's pricing power.

LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (OTCMKTS:LVMUY) was upgraded by ValuEngine from a “hold” rating to a “buy” rating in a research report issued on Saturday.
- [By Leo Sun]
At $126, Tiffany trades at about 27 times this year's earnings estimate -- which is a premium valuation relative to the midpoint of its forecast for 12% growth. LVMH (NASDAQOTH:LVMUY), which owns Tiffany's rival (and Bogliolo's former employer) Bulgari, trades at just 25 times this year's earnings -- and analysts expect its EPS to jump 16%. Bulgari, like Tiffany, is pivoting away from its "old world" charms toward edgier marketing campaigns that target younger shoppers.
