She then breaks down specific segments of the retail industry – including apparel, teen, restaurants and department stores – and highlights which will be winners and losers this holiday season. 

Kristen also shares her favorite individual retail stocks to buy and sell into the holidays.  A few names she talks about include: Wal-Mart, Target, Macy’s, JC Penney, Abercrombie & Fitch, Nike, Under Armour, Apple, Coach, and Michael Kors.  

She will also share her favorite “up and coming” brands that could become the next major players in retail.
