“If history is evidence, then Williams is betting that the high tide in April will be able to lift all retail ships,” Kramer said.

Every stock is down during the year except for Shopify, which trades 2% higher. Costco is down 10 percent so far this year, after rising 28 percent in 2020.

These retail-oriented stocks are in a position to rally, if only in the near term, Williams says. Kramer called it the “Easter March”, and I named it after our two-week holiday.

“I think that this step may have already started,” he said.

“If you’re concerned about rotation, you might want to use the pool at primary retailers to knock the record over,” Kramer said. “As much as I love these companies in the long term and do not want to trade them, I cannot blame anyone for making profits.”
