		<description><![CDATA[The rating downgrade of Spain and a slew of broadly favorable earnings reports will try to grab investors’ attention today, but they are unlikely to take the spotlight away from this morning’s mixed first quarter GDP report. Despite the GDP reading’s strong internals, the ‘headline’ miss will likely be the major driver of today’s trading action. The disappointing aspect of the report is that it is not weak enough to warrant Fed action, but also not strong enough to make investors feel good about the Fed economy. My overall takeaway from the report is that looking at it from the perspective of ‘what Bernanke will do,’ it is not QE-friendly. In its first read on the fourth quarter of 2011, the commerce department reported that the U.S. economy expanded at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite solid revenue growth, Priceline.com Inc (PCLN) missed the Zacks Consensus by 20 cents, as higher stock based compensation and a higher tax rate impacted results. However, the solid guidance drove share prices up 6.57% in after-hours trading. Revenue Priceline reported revenue of $990.7 million in the quarter, representing a sequential decline of 31.8% and a year-over-year increase of 35.5%. This was better than management’s guidance of $947 million (at the mid-point) and consensus expectations of $967.9 million. Volumes were impacted across the business, with hotel room nights, rental car days and airline tickets all declining double-digits on a sequential basis, although they were up from last year. Ticket volumes were again softer than the other two, similar to Expedia Inc (EXPE), which also saw softness in the area. Specifically, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the number of legal proceedings against online travel companies/agents (OTCs/OTAs) continues to increase, there are some positive trends in recent rulings. The wins in Texas and California courts are big positives for OTAs, such as Expedia (EXPE), Priceline.com (PCLN), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity. Particularly Expedia, since the company is being held liable for the bulk of the back taxes. The OTA mouthpiece Interactive Travel Services Association (ITSA) has been talking about “the correct interpretation of law” by the courts in the above-mentioned states, trying to arouse sentiments by playing the “unproductive litigation” card that was “wasting taxpayer resources.” This rhetoric aside, it appears reasonable that the OTAs should receive compensation for the information and services they provide and on which they pay taxes. The fact that they neither ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expedia, Inc. (EXPE), one of the leading online travel companies in the world, solidly beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the second quarter, despite higher expenses. A stronger economy, increased travel spending by both individuals and corporations and international expansion are driving results. Additionally, Egencia is turning around, posting strong results in the last quarter. The solid growth strategy across markets and stronger business fundamentals overall are the reasons for our Outperform recommendation. The shares also appear cheap since they are trading at a forward P/E of 16.5X compared to a 52.2X multiple for the peer group. Our $36.00 target price, 20.0X 2011 EPS, reflects our favorable view.

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc’s (GOOG) revamped air ticket portal launched without much fanfare on Tuesday. Without a doubt, the search giant is entering the travel market, something made easy with its acquisition of ITA Software, which was recently cleared by the Justice Department. As may be expected with any strategic acquisition, there was a significant amount of controversy and opposition from other companies offering travel services or dependent on ITA technology, such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Kayak and Expedia Inc (EXPE). Priceline.com (PCLN) was less affected, although its CEO Jeffrey Boyd mentioned that Google was stepping on its toes with its new Hotel Finder site and the ITA acquisition. Kayak stated that its technology was superior and that it was ready to take on the competition from Google. Some bravado, considering the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most developing sectors of the economy. The industry is evolving very rapidly, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (42% of their total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (23.4% of their total sales). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. Retailers and service providers generated just 4.0% and 2.3%, respectively of their revenues online, a slightly higher percentage than they were in the prior year. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. The business-to-business category makes up 91% of total e-commerce sales, with the balance coming from ]]></description>

The acquisition received strong opposition from travel companies, such as Expedia Inc. (EXPE), competitors such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT) and airline ticket providers, such as Kayak. In fact, Expedia-owned TripAdvisor and Hotwire joined with the above parties among others to form what they called the FairSearch coalition in an effort to thwart Google’s efforts in the online travel market. However, Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) another online travel company that uses QPX has made it a point to stay away from the coalition and has already extended its licensing agreement up to 2015.

Currency had a 3 percentage point impact on sequential comparisons. Revenue by Segment Leisure customers remained the largest revenue contributors, generating nearly 83% of revenue. Corporate customers (Egencia) were under 4%, while TripAdvisor brought in the remaining 13%. The three categories grew 20.5%, 11.2% and -2.8%, respectively from the June quarter of 2010. They were up 12.2%, 43.3% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Friday, October 29, 2010 It may surprise you to learn that cruise lines, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) and Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) helped funnel $35 billion into the United States last year. With a record 13.44 million passengers hitting the high seas, it helped the cruise line industry to its fifth straight year of solid growth, despite the global recession. And according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), 2010 should go down as another blockbuster year. So what’s the story behind the headlines? Bigger Fleets… And a $17 Billion Injection into the U.S. Economy Why have cruises become so popular? Simple. The set price – which includes food, entertainment and lodging – is perfect for people on a budget. And appealing to this market ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Inc. (GOOG) has offered to buy ITA Software, a technology company owning specialized software that enables the provision of sophisticated flight information services to customers. Google intends to make the purchase for $700 million in cash. The software would help Google offer comparison shopping for airline tickets and so could put online travel agencies such as Expedia Inc. (EXPE), Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Travelocity.com at risk. It is important to note that Google is not entering the travel business, so it will not be earning money on tickets sold. Google’s services will be limited to sending customers to the least-cost site at any given time. The company will continue to earn money on advertisements sold in the process. However, these online travel companies could well be concerned, since this ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazon.com (AMZN) reported first quarter earnings that beat the Zacks Consensus by 6.45%. The positive earnings surprise was less than in prior quarters, as estimates were already adjusted to reflect pre-recession type growth. First Quarter Highlights Earnings were negatively impacted by competitive pricing, mix and currency, with the improvement in North American margins offsetting the decline in International. However, the company saw solid growth in revenue. Revenue increase of 45.9% from the year-ago quarter exceeded the high end of management’s guidance of a 32% to 43% increase. The improvement was attributable to a 40% growth in units and an increase in active customer accounts to 114 million, which included Chinese customers for the first time. Amazon also benefited from higher third-party sales and a 22% increase in active seller accounts. ]]></description>

I know, I&#8217;ve been looking for it for over 40 years and haven&#8217;t found it yet. I&#8217;ve had to change my strategy several times. I had a new idea recently and decided to try it out. I&#8217;d like to share it with you and see what you think. Here&#8217;s my idea: Find the sector ETF that is currently having the highest relative strength and try to hand pick the best stocks from that portfolio. It&#8217;s the Willie Sutton Theory. Willie was a famous bank robber and was asked:&#8221;Why do you rob banks?&#8221; His reply: &#8220;Because that&#8217;s where the money is!&#8221; If as a group, these are the stocks performing the best then why not ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Electronic Commerce, or e-commerce, industry is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy. The industry is still evolving, so data collection and evaluation are particularly difficult. Consequently, one has to rely largely on surveys by both government and private agencies. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the manufacturing sector is the largest contributor to e-commerce sales (35% of total shipments), followed by merchant wholesalers (21.2%). These two segments make up the business-to-business category. While retailers and service providers generated just 3.2% and 1.6% of their revenues online, these are the fastest growing segments. The Bureau categorizes these two segments as business-to-consumer. [2007 figures, as reported in May 2009.] Retail e-Commerce Over the five-quarter period ended September 2009, some retailers lost business to online rivals, while others continued ]]></description>

S&#38;P analyst Andy Liu stated that the revision was based on the company’s strong results and market share gains versus the other major online travel companies, Expedia Inc. (EXPE) and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW). Both Priceline and Expedia beat the Zacks Consensus estimate in the last-reported quarter, although Priceline beat both revenue and EPS estimates by a wider margin. Priceline’s revenue was up double-digits, both sequentially and year over year. Room nights, airline ticket units and rental car days were up 56.3%, 30.2% and11.6%, respectively from the year-ago quarter. In comparison, Expedia’s room night and air ticket volumes were up 27.6% and 27.0%, respectively on a year-over-year basis. Therefore, it is clear that Priceline outgrew Expedia in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading shares of Expedia Inc. (EXPE) from Outperform to Neutral. The company reported strong results in the last quarter, but continued to benefit from promotional inventories provided by its hotel partners. When results are stripped off the benefits of promotional activities, a softer demand environment could become evident. We also do not expect the company to report better than seasonal sales growth in the current quarter. The company has sacrificed booking fees this year, which is telling on the average daily rates (ADRs). Therefore, ADRs could be the metric to watch rather than room nights at this point of time. We are also concerned about the incidence of transient occupancy taxes. Although municipalities and governments have decided that they will recover occupancy taxes from hotels if they lose ]]></description>

As musical theater buffs, I figured that they’d love the seeing the show, especially with my kids who had never seen a Broadway quality production. Unfortunately, they still haven’t. The show stunk. The “actor” who played Danny Zuko couldn’t act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable. It was one of the worst productions I’ve ever seen – and I should know, as I’ve been in some pretty awful shows (if you saw Last Exit to Brooklyn in San Francisco in 1995, I apologize).

		<description><![CDATA[Expedia Inc. (EXPE) is one of the leading online travel companies in the world. The company reported strong results in the last quarter, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Promotional activity continues to have a positive impact on the conversion rate, and spending is expected to strengthen in the next few quarters. We are also positive about international initiatives, which we think will be the key to future growth. Cost management, a favorable online advertising environment and solid financials are other encouraging factors. By comparison, the possibility of increased occupancy taxes and low growth in Egencia (the smallest segment) seem less significant. However, the declining average daily rates could be something to watch. We are reiterating our Outperform rating on EXPE shares. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expedia Inc. (EXPE), one of the largest online travel companies in the world, has released the fall issue of the Expedia Travel Trendwatch. Other than the usual bargains and offers for the holiday season, this issue is a testament to the continued weakness in travel sales. It now appears that most of the special offers announced for the summer season are likely to continue through the holidays. Business travel remains particularly weak, with the softness bringing significant declines in air + hotel package prices. A company survey indicates a 29% year-over-year decline in New York , 22% in Los Angeles and 17% in Chicago . This has prompted 22% of Expedia business travelers surveyed to expand their business trips for leisure purposes. Domestic air fares are down 17% year over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage of Expedia, Inc (EXPE) with an Outperform rating. The stock has had a great run since the beginning of the year, with the share price increasing nearly 149%. Most of the increase has come on the heels of the company reporting better than expected results in the March quarter. This was followed by another stellar quarter, making the company look very good. Its closest competitors Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Priceline.com (PCLN) have also fared quite well, indicating a positive outlook for the sector. As one of the largest online travel companies in the world, Expedia has been impacted by the recession. However, management has come back strongly, with effective promotions that stepped up the conversion rate. The Summer Sale of 2009 was very big, with 5,000 ]]></description>
