And when reviewing the data inputs to yesterday's 204 point romp, it is also easy to don the Dow10K hat once again and join in on the celebration.[More...]

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Royal Caribbean's profits sink in fourth quarter: Florida's bleak economy is hurting cruise giant Royal Caribbean's fourth quarter operations, which usually draw a disproportionate share of in-state vacationers.

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:50:00 GMT

Nov. 4--Last-minute bookings helped lift Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. to a better-than-expected profit for the third quarter, but Florida's bleak economy is hurting its fourth quarter, which traditionally relies heavily on state residents to fill ships.
Miami-based Royal Caribbean -- which will debut Oasis of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, in Fort Lauderdale later this month -- reported third-quarter net income plunged 44 percent to $230.4 million from $411.9 million a year earlier.
Royal Caribbean's new $1.4 billion Oasis of the Seas, which is 40 percent bigger than the next largest cruise ship, is en route to its home port at Port Everglades from a Finnish shipyard, and the cruise giant is preparing to show off the 5,400-passenger vessel to travel agents and news media to ratchet up the buzz.
