I'm a huge proponent of AirBNB and Vrbo.. I'm sure those will do well along with the other hotel and travel stocks. Something tells me that at worst.. we have one more winter of COVID.. but even then, It will be even weaker and people will care even less.
Jan 28 was the recent bottom for ABNB and although it's up 36% since then, they also just announced a profit after topping estimates on earnings and revenue. Looks like either a turnaround story or favorable comps or both could be true.
Airlines and cruise lines haven't run as much as the best hotel stocks and also have headwinds from higher fuel prices.
I wonder if air and sea still worries people, where as AirBNB can actually be used to "get away" from people by only driving a few hours. Technically don't have to be around anyone, from start to finish.
We've used AirBNB and similar services about 6 or 7 times during covid, mostly because it was an easy way during COVID to get a small vacation in.
Public Health is a disaster for a variety of reasons. So many people on both sides of the pandemic issue just don't care anymore even as 3000 people die daily. While disruptive companies that have benefited from Covid show that we're never going back to the old ways, you have to wonder how much growth is still ahead.
What I've read is unique about ABNB is bookings are longer in duration than traditional hotels. More than even THEY anticipated which is only good news. It's like social media in some ways in that the rooms and houses (content) is provided by others. DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc. also being unique in benefiting that way perhaps.
Yeah, but as of right now the cruise lines in general are quite a bit cheaper than this time last yr......and there are many indications that this pandemic is starting to end. We didn't have any indications last yr.
I disagree about no indications the pandemic was ending last year.
What's everyone's thoughts on the stocks/economy with Ukraine? I'm thinking a big sell off is coming. But maybe a good time to buy? Energy stocks appear to be bearing the brunt of this.
Oil may have hit a temporary top. Probably too late to sell everything else. The only thing I'm buying is JEPI with a 7.5% yield.
Definitely going out to fill up the cars before it jumps.. and also fill up the snow blower for the 12 inches were getting tomorrow.
during this time of year.. it's more about filling up on the day that's 32 degrees and not 10 degrees lol. But I need gas for the blower anyways so might as well top everything off.
Well, not long enough. Been in FHN barely a year and already undergoing M&A. Sigh. Decent profit. May jump back into Regions.
Read about that. Jordan will become vice-chair of TD. Nice gain!
Sold a big chunk of V to lock in gains and offset some paper losses, hoping to buy it back lower.
Sold out of PM today. I have others that give me yield with better growth than a tobacco stock.
Sold some KR up 10% today on what was my biggest position. Now playing with house money.
Congrats. Both KR and ACI exploded yesterday. Knew I shoulda purchased KR a few months ago. Folks are worried.
I haven't been paying alot of attention to the tech sector, oddly because that's where I work, but it has taken a BEATING! At least the companies in my space. I've been keeping an eye on DDD for a while, they came out with positive earnings and revenues but the stock has been beat down. Thinking about a long term position on this.
Virtual monopoly where I live, not the greatest for service, don’t have to be in west Tn.
Amazon is splitting 20:1.
Yep, held AMZN for several years, found what I think are better alternatives. Crazy, disruptive world out there currently, wish I had a crystal ball.
Not taking big bets on anything but I bought AMZN near the recent lows. Also bought some WMT late last year.
AMZN has doubled income and revenues since 2018 but really needed to do something with all that cash. Both should also increase online sales with higher gas prices.
KR, WMT and AMZN all now have recurring revenue streams as well. KR is calling their subscription service Boost. WMT calls theirs Walmart+ and everyone knows about Amazon Prime.
Boost is very timely as that subscription doubles their fuel rewards points at KR gas stations.

Good, patient investors like you and Austin do well with those type of stocks. I’ve gotten long in the tooth, but still love GARP, just feel I have to turnover stocks more quickly than I did previously!

Darn near everything up today, nice respite, at least.
That's so insane. They're in Covid lockdown all over China. But otoh the Internet keeps 1 billion people connected. Watch those stocks.
I know many have an issue with Altria (MO), but the plain fact is that it's the 2nd best performing stock in the history of the stock market (with dividends reinvested). Only Berkshire has done better. I got in last year at 42/share. The dividend was $ 3.44 per year. It gets raised every August. $ 3.60 now and will get raised to $ 3.76-3.80 this August. They've raised the dividend 52 times in 50 years and it's a "Dividend King". They are transitioning people over time to non-combustibles (vaping, Oral Pouches, etc) and though smokers are on a slow decline, tobacco use is actually growing. The also bought Cronos and are positioning themselves for when Mary Jane is legal. Marlboro Greens, anyone?
It should be in every portfolio. Fast food and sugar kills just as much or more than tobacco, so I have no issue with it.

Anyone here dabble in I-Bonds? Just reading about them briefly, and it seems like a good (albeit minuscule) way to get a little bit of savings during a high inflationary period. Sure beats a 0.5% interest rate in a HYSA.
