5 Stressed Out Leisure Stocks to Sell

I think its quite an understatement to say the hotel and leisure industry has
felt the punch of a volatile economy over the past 12 months. The recent
Carnival (NYSE: CCL ) cruise ship tragedy of the Costa Concordia doesnt help
either. These five leisurely stocks were on my sell list last month, and theyre
not coming off any time soon. I watch more than 5,000 publicly traded companies
with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of fundamental and
quantitative measures. And this week, Ive got five stressed out leisure stocks
to sell. Here they are, in alphabetical order. Each one of these stocks gets a
"D" or "F" according to my research, meaning it is a "sell" or
"strong sell." Carnival is a cruise company that operates across the globe.
In the past year, CCL stock has lost 31%, compared to a gain of 6% for the Dow
Jones. CCL gets a "D" for operating margin growth, a "D" for its ability
to exceed the consensus earnings estimates on Wall Street, a "D" for the
magnitude in which earnings projections have increased over the past month and a
"D" for cash flow in my Portfolio Grade tool. For more information, view my

company known for its Hyatt-branded hotels, resorts and residential and vacation
