*

The Company is a leisure travel company focused on linking travelers in small cities to world-class leisure destinations such as Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida and Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Huge capacity cuts are coming one way or another. In this basket trade I am fully expecting at least 2 90% losses, but believe they will be more than overcome from the upside to the survivors. If, as I suspect, oil and jet fuel spreads give up a moderate portion of their current levels, the upside...More

An Index of Top Rated Global Transport Companies


The accompanying table includes the top 50 rated companies and statistics for the ETF Innovators (ETFI) Global Transportation PerformIdex, which is structured as an equally-weighted index with quarterly updates from a database of 225 companies included in the following five indexes:

1.) ETFI Global Air Transport

2.) ETFI Global Personal Transport

3.) ETFI Global Maritime Transport

4.) ETFI Global Railroad Industry

5.) ETFI Global Trucking & Logistics

The index is structured to include 15 companies each from railroads + trucking & logistics, 10 companies from air transport, and five companies each from maritime + personal transport. The trucking & logistics group has posted strong results over the past year in spite of the weak global economy and has been aided by declining fuel prices, including gains of about 50% for Marten Transport (MRTN) and nearly 10% each for Werner Enterprises (WERN) and C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW).

The Personal Transport Index includes auto makers such as Honda (HMC), motorcycle makers such as Harley Davidson (HOG), recreational vehicles such as Polaris (PII) – although the top five rated companies are auto makers at this time, led by Volkswagen (VLKAY).

Within the Maritime Transport Index, the only bright spot has been Nordic American Tanker (NAT), which is the only company whose stock price has increased in the last year as the entire group has been decimated – with the new Claymore/Delta Global Shipping ETF down 55% since its inception in early September.

The Railroad Index has also posted strong results in the past year and it remains to be seen whether the major rail transport companies can maintain pricing power in the face of a global economic slowdown and less "stuff" to move around. Some of the top rated railroad companies in the index include Warren Buffett favorite Burlington Northern (BNI) along with the other major U.S. rail transport companies Union Pacific (UNP), CSX Corp (CSX), and Norfolk Southern (NSC).

The Air Transport Index includes mostly passenger airlines, in addition to helicopter transport and air freight companies such as Atlas Air Worldwide (AAWW). The top 10 rated companies include top performers such as Hawaiian Airlines (HA) and Allegiant Travel (ALGT), low fare airline JetBlue Airways (JBLU), and the biggest companies in the industry such as Singapore Airlines (SINGF) and Southwest Airlines (LUV).

It is uncertain how this stock could hold up in this economic environment. Hotels may be trying to keep their prices down to maximize occupancy rates, but the cost of travel will likely go up as oil prices go back up to $100 per barrel. This would make people less likely to book trips, especially if unemployment gets worse.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
