Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i , Thanks for all the recent guidance on stock picks in your flash report.
I read an article stating that Cruise booking for 2021 is already 40% more than 2019 bookings.
My question is which of the cruise companies have least dept and in a position to survive this downturn.

Q: Hello Peter and co,
Thank you for your voice of reason in these crazy times! My 18-year old granddaughter has been talking about investments, and recently announced that she has decided she wants to invest in a cruise line company, since they are probably way down. Her thinking makes some sense to me, as the cruise industry will survive, and the strongest players may benefit from assimilation of weaker players assets. Similar thinking regarding airlines. In both cases, bankruptcy may be a risk. Is it safe to assume that buying these sectors is a good long term strategy, and if so, which companies would you suggest? Presumably strong balance sheet is a must. I think I read that Warren Buffett bought some Delta Airlines shares recently. Considering all that, what would you suggest for a young 18-year old?
Thanks.

Q: I am looking at buying into these three companies over the next six months to take a small speculative position. Are these three good candidates for survival? Would their be an ETF in this sector which would be a better option given the risk/reward?

Q: Hi wondering what are the risks of buying carnival at present price? Can they continue to make debt payments if ships are parked for a length of time?
Appreciate you great service.

Q: income investor . do you see stocks like ccl.us and hot.un that are starting to look interesting with a long term look, thanks …. regardless of how far they fall in the next 6 mounths or so.

Q: Do you think there is an opportunity in airlines, hotel and cruise ship operators in the U.S.? They’ve all been hammered!

Q: Hi folks

Based on The current fundamentals........if you had to buy one cruise line, one travel co (eg expedia/bkng etc) and one US airline
what would your choices be?

Thanks I’m advance

Q: Been keeping an eye on the travel stocks as they get pummeled by coronavirus concerns. CCL yield becoming very attractive--do you think there is a risk of them cutting the dividend as they battle through the inevitable sales decline over the next 12-24 (?) months

Q: Can you assess the risk reward of buying these 2 cruise line stocks here - or would you advise waiting. NCL looks to cheaper; but has no dividend.

CCL has a 4.5% dividend ... (likely to be secure?) ..... which could justify be payed to wait for the eventual increase in share price.

Thank you for your help.

Q: Carnival Corp has taken a significant decline in the share price as a result of Corona virus. Might this be a good time to take a position in this stock?

Q: Current thoughts on Carnival as an investment opportunity? Why is the stock down ytd?

Q: I read somewhere that the world airlines will need 100,000 new pilots in future years . China is a factor with so many Chinese travelling. Do you like CAE. Flight Simulators Any others?

Also Baby Boombers aging and taking Cruises. Who benefits the most here ? . Do you like this industry ?

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,

Just wondering if you can comment on why RCL's stock price has been lagging behind CCL's over the last 1 1/2 --- 2 years. I currently own both and just wondering if I should should sell RCL and put the proceeds in CCL. Thanks,
