2 Top Retail Apocalypse-Proof Stocks to Watch In May

Retail is not healthy. Forget the headline reports of 50% gains from last April. It's not hard to produce such growth when you're going up against a month when almost all stores were closed.

The real health check is in the sequential numbers, which were flat as the impact of government stimulus checks faded. That suggests that without taxpayers paying people to spend, retailers aren't going to see growth.

That's not universal, though, as some businesses are still notching some very big gains. Those are the stocks investors want to focus on -- the ones that will not just survive, but also thrive during the retail apocalypse. These two stocks should be able to withstand any downdraft.
