The Revenge-Fueled Sector Hitting New Highs

[$1 Billion Buyout Would Unleash a 10X Moonshot for Ground-Floor Investors]( This company and its founders are in talks with some of the world’s biggest organizations about a series of potential contracts. A single contract from any one of these mega-cap giants could send this company’s mere $100 million valuation soaring, transforming it into a billion-dollar unicorn overnight. [Check out the full exposé here.](   The Revenge-Fueled Sector Hitting New Highs By Matthew Carr, Chief Trend Strategist, Tactical Trend Investor Hey Reader, Revenge. It’s the basis of some of the greatest works of fiction ever penned. Alexander Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, and Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations are epic revenge fantasies. And those paved the way for our modern classics such as Death Wish, Carrie, The Unforgiven, Gladiator, Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2, Taken, and John Wick. Revenge – whether petty or grand – is part of being human. We want it. We love to hear tales about it. And we seek revenge not only against individuals who may or may not have maligned us, but also viruses, inconveniences, amorphous concepts – and even the stock market. Revenge shopping… Revenge trading... Revenge travel… This is part of our financial lexicon. If humans are ever denied an opportunity or feel slighted by being unable to spend that dollar burning a hole through their pocket, the impulse is to spend twice as much. To make up for lost time. And as is often the case in revenge tales, consequences be damned. But for us as investors, this type of revenge can be sweet for us in the form of profits. No One Cares About Your Recession Forget the recession (if or when it ever happens). Forget the Federal Reserve and whether it’s going to “skip,” “pause,” or “pivot” next week. Forget the politics and prose of each party’s diehards trying to “cancel” brands, corporations, or celebrities for whatever offense committed today. I’ve dubbed this The Summer of Revenge, Part II (Part I was 2022). And the cash registers will be ringing no matter what unfolds in Congress, at the U.S. central bank, or on social media. You see, back in the summer of 2022 I began covering that the American Hotel & Lodging Association found that [nearly 7 out of 10 Americans]( had a greater appreciation for travel… all thanks to the litany of missed experiences caused by the pandemic. I mean, I get it. My wife and I personally had tickets for performances by Cirque de Soleil and Whose Line is it Anyway? rescheduled multiple times before ultimately being canceled by COVID 19. No acrobats or improv?!? We had trips to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia shelved. Instead, much of the two years that followed the pandemic’s start were quarantines and limited trips abroad. The travel industry was gutted, and some companies even went belly up. Shares of cruise line operators Carnival Corporation (Nasdaq: CCL), Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL), and Norwegian Cruise Lines (NYSE: NCLH) tumbled to their lowest levels in decades. Airline companies were hammered, with American Airlines (Nasdaq: AAL), Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL), Southwest (NYSE: LUV), and United Airlines (Nasdaq: UAL) rapidly losing altitude to levels not seen since 2013. Of course, we know what happens when you deny humans an opportunity to burn those hard-earned dollars… Revenge! And thus, revenge travel was born. This year, [even more Americans]( are planning vacations and business trips than in 2022. And business travelers are saying they’re back to pre-pandemic levels. But here’s the deal… Shares of cruise line operators Carnival and Norwegian are still trading more than 60% below their pre-pandemic peaks. Shares of airlines – American, Delta, Southwest, United, and others- are trading double-digits below their pre-COVID highs. Yet one industry is soaring, being propelled to new all-time highs by surging travel demand. And it’s my favorite place for profits for The Summer of Revenge, Part II.     Double Dose of Double-Digit Growth Summer travel season officially kicked off Memorial Day weekend. A couple weeks ago, I explained how this impacts crude. It’s one of the most important stretches of the year for the leisure and oil & gas industries. And the busiest days are on the horizon. As much as everyone is pounding the table that a recession is imminent, it’s not here… at least not yet. The American economy is humming along with a [May jobs report]( nearly double what was expected. This is the news one industry is celebrating. And you should too. You see, hotels are reaping the sweet rewards of revenge. Shares of Marriott International (Nasdaq: MAR) are trading only a couple bucks below their 52-week high of $183.27, which was set in May. Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) shares are hovering below their 52-week highs as well. Choice Hotels International (NYSE: CHH) and Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN) are enjoying a strong 2023 to boot. And the outlook for the weeks ahead – The Summer of Revenge, Part II – is getting brighter. For the all-important July 4 weekend, Marriott’s revenue per available room (RevPAR) [is already up 10%](. Hilton is seeing strong demand across the board, expecting second-quarter RevPAR up between [10% and 12%]( . And we’ve started to see the sector raise guidance for the year. So, let’s recap… There may be a recession coming… The Fed may raise rates in June… or July… The price of crude may surge to over $80 per barrel… Inflation may be with us another year… The summer traveler does not care. Or at the very least is undeterred by any of these things. Airlines and cruise operators must contend with the high price of fuel. It’s a headwind for their businesses and why shares of these companies have struggled for liftoff. But for hotels, high input costs are easily passed on. They’re able to maintain profits as revenge-fueled travelers readily pay. Credit card? Sure, just as long as they’re outside of their homes. Not everyone will fly or take a cruise ship to their vacation destination. But almost everyone will stay in a hotel. That’s the certainty – and profits – investors want to target. So, lie back in the shade and relax with a classic this summer, whether it’s The Count of Monte Cristo or Death Wish, as you let revenge travel heat up your portfolio with gains.
