Seamless integration of a world-class in-store experience and an online experience gives CarMax pany the largest functional market within the used-car industry.

Additionally, CarMax has an advantage of being the largest used-car dealer enabling it to maintain the largest nationwide inventory of more than 60,000 used vehicles of nearly every make and model. Having a huge selection is a key element, especially in the used-car market, where inventories are unique.

Shares of the company have appreciated 15.9% in the past year, while the industry has witnessed a rise of 10.1%.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
