The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which analyst John Reeves and advisor David Meier discuss topics across the investing world.
David does not think Best Buy will be able to turn things around. First, e-commerce won't be stopped, and it's leaving Best Buy behind. Also, product companies like Apple don't really need Best Buy to sell their wares anymore. Most worrying of all -- Best Buy is becoming irrelevant. Customers just don't need their expertise anymore when looking to make a purchase. Sadly, the move away from big-box retailing is just too strong for Best Buy.
While recent trends don't favor companies like Best Buy, there are some companies that stand to benefit tremendously. To learn more about some of them, we invite you to take a look at The Motley Fool's special free report: "The Death of Wal-Mart: The Real Cash Kings Changing the Face of Retail." In it, you'll see which retailers are able to consistently outperform and how two cash kings are planning to ride the waves of retail's changing tide. You can access it by clicking here.
