    Calm Seas Ahead for Cruising Stocks [view article]
    No one knows why the two trade at different prices -- they should theoretically trade at the same value given the similarity in economic rights for both sets of shares........ Reply

    St. Joe Stands Out Among Highly Rated Stocks in Highly Rated Funds [view article]
    This article is largely based on fair value without any explanation of how fair value was determined, or by whom. The company's assets are largely composed of vacant land. The company told me that the land has no recent appraisal. Reply

    Royal Caribbean, Carnival: Deals on the Open Sea [view article]
    This whole article makes no sense, which is a result of incorrect data.

    1. The authors says that "Royal’s revenue is 39% higher than Carnivals $4.3B annually." THIS IS NOT TRUE. According to Yahoo finance Carnival had revenue of 11.8 billion for fiscal 2006. Royal's was 5.2 billion for fiscal 2006.

    2. Carnival is the superior company. They boast profit margins of 19% while Royal's is around 10%.

    3. Carnival is more shareholder friendly. They currently yield 3.6% versus Royal's 1.5%.

    4. Royal has too much debt currently 90% debt-to-equity compared to Carnival which is below 60%. Carnival has a better balance sheet which allows it to both reward shareholders through dividends and toinvest in future ships to fuel growth.

    Royal Caribbean, Carnival: Deals on the Open Sea [view article]
    I realized about 2 hours after I posted this, that there is two tickers for Carnival, CUK and CCL. Ones the PLC; CUK. I had been researching RCL, for about 2 days based on a rumour. Heinz sight, the rumour came true - check out RCL's chart. Anyway, I am bullish on it in the long run, and it didn't seem appropriate to compare RCL to DIS so, CUK was the "other choice" I saw at first. I'm 23, I've been investing for 11 years, and I've never seen two companies listed on the same exchange before (Both on NYSE). If this is really common, forgive me, CCL should have been mentioned in the post. I guess you learn something new everyday. I should note, contrary to my post, CCL trades options. Also, this has been my first post to Seeking Alpha, I hope to contribute more. Please forgive me for replying so late to this comment.

    Smooth Sailing with Cruise Stocks [view article]
    Regarding the "new passport law", here is an exerpt from the Travel Business Roundtable website regarding sea/cruise passenger travel:

    The new requirement for a passport or other secure travel document will be
    enforced for Western Hemisphere travel into the U.S. by cruise ship at some
    point prior to June 1, 2009. No exact date is set, but the “sea” or cruise deadline
    will be identical to the land border travel date for implementation. By law, cruise
    travelers will also have the option of utilizing the PASS (People Access Security Service)
    card under development by the U.S. State Department. This is a low-cost, credit card-sized
    passport that is envisioned as a less expensive and more convenient alternative to the
    traditional book-style passport.
