Cruise lines have all done well because travel is booming. He'd pick this one, but they'll all do well. Q3 is generally their best quarter. Run up a lot already, so may see a pullback after Q3. Pent-up demand might even last into 2024.

Discouraged by Carnival's results today. A strong pass.

Shut down during Covid, but the cruise stocks are bouncing back. Life is too short thesis: people can't wait to experience things.

RCL vs. CCL Before Covid, cruise business was great, a cosy oligopoly. Barriers to entry are high. RCL is best in class for management, brand, ships, and customer mix. At some point everyone has to get on a plane, but not everyone needs to go on a cruise. It's a completely discretionary item. He's sticking with airlines. With these tough times and a recession, stick with companies that have pricing power.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
As economy recovers from pandemic, demand for travel will increase. Believes company to preform well. Rising oil price a concern for the business. Prefers other companies in the sector (Expedia) that do not have capital costs. Current share price is not a good price to buy at.

COMMENT
Last year it bottomed at $10, but they just did a giant stock offering at $91, based on predictions that will sail soon. A juggernaut. It's riding the current reopening rotation.

RISKY

Royal Caribbean is a little better than Carnival, but all these stocks will benefit from the coming travel boom and economic reopening. Keeping ships at port is a big expense over all these months. There's 20-25% recovery left in the cruiselines. He bought at the bottom and has sold some. There's still upside here, but it's a higher risk stock. Sure, some travelers will never cruise again, but once vaccines are in place enough will come back. Cruiselines have recovered from past health scares.

DON'T BUY
An obvious reopening play, but they reported another weak quarter though a great 2022 forecast. The stock has had a huge run and the CEO raised $1.5 billion with an equity offering. Why not? They need the money.

BUY
Cruise stocks are bargains. RCL reported a horrible quarter today, but still rallied 9% today, due to a surge in bookings. A reopening play.
household goods
BUY
The cruiselines have really roared back. RCL is the biggest and has the best balance sheet among the big three cruiselines. Down the road, we'll be back on cruises and revenues will return. He likes this business and it will survive. But don't buy 30% of travel, but rather 5-15%. RCL is a quality name because of its balance sheet and large market cap vs. its peers. Also, 2021 bookings are higher than pre-2019 levels.

DON'T BUY
RCL-N vs. CCL-N. He would be cautious on both names. Both businesses will survive but never be the same. There is enough risk investing in safe stocks that you don't need to buy these.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 07/19, Up 35%) He still holds it. About 12 times earnings. Cruise lines are growing faster than the economy. He trimmed a little bit of weight. He would not be surprised at $155 in the next year. It is the best managed of the cruise lines. It is a bit of a demographic play.
household goods
TOP PICK
He likes the demographic trend that shows greater demand. A solid business and it trades at 11 times earnings. Yield 2.42% (Analysts’ price target is $140.59)
household goods
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 04/18, Up 7%) Supply concerns have recently weighed on the share price of the three big cruise lines with weakness in Europe and the Caribbean. RCL is still growing revenue at a healthy rate. In 2020-21, new maritime regulations about fuel will take out a lot of supply.
household goods
BUY
Well-run. Demographics favour cruise lines; seniors like cruises. There's growth opportunity in Asia where RCL has a dominant position. Trades at a cheap 11.5x earnings. Also, ships can easily be moved to high-demand areas; RCL can literally move their assets around to make money. Personally, he doesn't like cruises, but he knows many who do.
