This week we would like to discuss a topic that is probably one of the most contentious and hotly debated in the investing world at the moment. This is the future of retail, specifically the commercial viability of the traditional retail sector in the face of increased competition both as a result of online (i.e. the Amazon effect) and low cost providers such as Aldi.
