How to Invest in E-Commerce Stocks
Many investors prefer stocks that do business in high-growth industries. After all, it's much easier for a company to grow if its sector is expanding by leaps and bounds.
As far as favorable long-term trends go, the shift toward e-commerce is about as big as it gets. The industry crossed $111 billion in the most recent quarter, according to the latest government statistics, or about three times where it stood just a decade ago. E-commerce is now responsible for 8.9% of all retail sales in the U.S, compared to just 1% at the turn of the century.
Where that figure stops is anyone's guess, but it isn't crazy to think that e-commerce could eventually account for 20%, 30%, or more of the total retailing world.
