My hospitality shorts - and - are starting to roll over technically.

Yesterday I took a trading short rental in two hotel plays - Hyatt and Hilton :    Nov 16, 2020 ' 11:05 AM EST DOUG KASS Hotel California... Not Such a Lovely Place? "There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinkin' to myse...

CNBC is reporting that in New York City alone, 34% of hotels are delinquent, and hospitality investment bank Robert Douglas sees more hotels at risk of closing.  We've heard quite a bit about the airlines over these last few months, but the hotel ne...

* At least for an afternoon! Some takeaways on the day:  Equities peaked at around 11:30 a.m. and started a steady retreat that intensified late in the day. Market breadth was 3-1 negative. The S&P 500 fell by nearly 40 handles from the day's high. ...

We are now in one of those times, like 52 years ago in 1968, that we and our children will always remember. Many of us have spent the weekend watching America burning in despair. As I write this missive, an extended portion of I-95 (in Palm Beach) h...

I am again considering my former speculative basket of Hilton Hyatt and Vornado -- that I previously profited from in a short-term trading rental. The next leg lower I will be a buyer.

* This month I learned that being long can be fun. * Breadth has been stuck at 4-1 (positive) for several hours. * Again, we could be seeing a powerful pivot away from growth and towards value. (I am hopeful that this is the start of such a transiti...
