Politics are to blame for Target's store closures

Frank is out of the office on a research trip… leaving me, Daniel, behind the mic.   Target’s (TGT) shares are near 52-week lows after it announced it will be closing nine stores due to rampant theft. It’s a troubling sign that will have a big impact on local economies. I highlight how it’s the latest example of the problems that happen when politicians enact stupid policies… why long-term investors should be excited by the declines… and a few other retail stocks that belong on every investor’s watchlist.   Two weeks ago, I ruffled some feathers when I shared my contrarian view on global warming. I’m doubling down this week… and sharing some more research from experts who disagree with the popular climate narrative. Email me your thoughts at daniel {at} curzioresearch {dot} com.   “Carbon capture” is one of the trendiest ideas for mitigating climate change (and it’s so popular, I’ve created a drinking game around it). While I think it’s a silly idea, it will benefit a handful of companies in the energy sector. I reveal two of my favorite stocks to play the situation… and explain why the world can’t stop using fossil fuels anytime soon.   In this episode The politics behind TGT’s store closures [2:00] The best retail stocks for long-term investors [10:55] I’m doubling down on my climate stance [14:25] A drinking game to help combat climate change [18:20] My two favorite plays on carbon capture [23:20] Enjoyed this episode?
