Is It Too Early To Invest In Retailers?

Two Fools debate whether now is the time to buy retailers such as Next (LSE: NXT) and Halfords (LSE: HFD).

Retail sales exceeded expectations in the UK as the ONS recently reported an increase of 0.6%  for September. David Kuo and Nate Weisshaar discuss whether this signals a buying opportunity for retail stocks. They discuss Next (LSE: NXT), ASOS (LSE: ASC), Halfords (LSE: HFD) and Booker (LSE: BOK) in this short video.

The shares of some retailers have fallen heavily of late, but a falling share price does not necessarily mean a company is a bad investment. Indeed, if you want to bag a possible bargain among the market's laggards, "The One FTSE Share Warren Buffett Loves" showcases the large-cap faller the legendary index-trouncing investor is backing today, and the investing logic behind his decision.
