The only thing more leveraged to the US consumer than the cruise lines is a company providing spa treatments on cruise lines.

Demographics favor cruise-realted stocks, current bear market is pushing the stock toward an attractive entry point.

This is a "feel good" pick for me. They provide spa services to multiple hotels, cruise lines, etc. they have no debt, only income (Aaahhh, so soothing....) I think people will be taking a lot of vacations this year to take their minds off of the economy and presidentlal election. But sell before the democrats double everyone's taxes and wipe out expendible income.

Wide moat company has a number of cruise ships and lines all to itself. Also a boomer play as they begin getting their inheritences and retiring.

Today's hit in the market seems overly pessimisstic - I'm going to get on board now.

Have you cruised lately? The industry is better than ever and Steiner has fingers in pies on all the major lines. More people will cruise, especially as land-based vacations become more expensive (the reason for my last cruise). Additionally, income for the average American is on the rise. With higher wages comes higher spending on extras, such as spas on cruises. Strangely, high school and college drop-out rates are high. Where will all of these people go? Think places like beauty school, vocational, technical, and...Steiner's new campuses. The value seems reasonabe right now, especially given the opportunties ahead.

Steiner Leisure founded way back in mid 30’s, is a leading worldwide provider of Spa products and services. The company prime businesses being services, products and schools segment. The services segment contributes around 60% to the over all tally and primarily focuses on operation of Spa’s in Spa resorts and in more than hundred cruise ships. The rest of the revenues are generated by Products segment, which offers high quality beauty products under Elemis and La Therapie brands. Steiner also owns and operates schools to train spa professionals. With recent acquisition of Utah vocational schools this segment has the potential to be a major contributor in the coming year.

The company has seen a consistent good run, with average weekly revenues on the cruise rising by over 8% when compared to last years revenue, along with superior performance of the products segment due to selling of Steiner products in many of Nordstrom’s stores across US and UK. The stock price also has followed the appreciating trend, rising by over 25% year till date.

Steiner appears to carry forward its growing trend, even in the coming year. As its Product segment continue to look strong with possibility of originating export business outside the core markets of the US and UK. Moreover, additional Nordstrom stores are expected to start selling Steiner products along with sales through company-operated spas, which have seen a double-digit growth. Finally, additions of new cruises are expected to fuel the growth going forward. Steiner’s latest acquisition of Utah school will start generating returns with well-anticipated higher margins. Endorsing the same, along with company’s recent foray into Middle East market through Monarch Hotel in Dubai, the stock price can move northwards.

This one passes the old fundamentals test, and for icing, it's a Rule Breakers recommendation. How's that for icing?
