The debate between what a luxury good or service is relative to a normal good or service may seem at first glance to be a rudimentary one. However, such assessment is vital for a consumer related industry where economic conditions will affect how the certain good or service will perform and how corporate profits will shape out quarter after quarter. When examining the production of Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), an apparent claim is made that this company provides the service notable for affluent individuals. While such is a seemingly obvious deduction, because of such understanding, and because of such affluence in the global market coupled with a lag factor, companies like Royal Caribbean flourish under these economic conditions.
As obviously understood by its title, Royal Caribbean specializes in the service of providing entertainment to individuals in the form of cruises. In addition, since many of these cruises tend to be high in overall price, business will tend to do its best during times when consumers feel rich and optimistic. Usually such sentiment as provided occurs during times of strong economic growth, low unemployment, and rising wages which, luckily enough, is what the United State's economy is observing right now. While there is some speculation that the economy is slowing because of problems relative to the housing and automobile industry, other economic data, such as the recent monthly jobs posting, indicates that the economy is still incredibly strong and still has strong momentum going into 2007. Such analysis coupled with a lower dollar, strong worldwide economic growth, and increases in imports and money flowing into the US economy absolutely illustrates that a company such as Royal Caribbean, for at least the short term should flourish earnings wise. Furthermore, because Royal Caribbean is a multinational corporation, and currencies in Europe and other developed nations continue to gain strength relative to the dollar, there is a strong potential for tourist activity to increase over the next year, and because of an unusually warm winter, much of such tourist activity will diffuse into services such as provided by Royal Caribbean. To make the situation even more appealing for investors still reluctant to purchase shares of this company, because Royal Caribbean is fairly dependent on the price of oil, with crude oil trading at its lowest levels in years, now, with the strong economic background, depreciating dollar, and global involvement, is the absolute best time to get involved with this company.
While the analysis provided above may seem lucrative and perfect for a company like Royal Caribbean to operate in, without a strong management team who will provide excellent fundamentals, such situation is meaningless. Fortunately for shareholders, the chairman and CEO, Richard Fain, operates a company which has performed extremely well over the past few years. Supporting revenue growth from the previous two fiscal years of 20% and 7% respectively in a chronological sequence coupled with earnings growth of 67% and 50% over the same years, Royal Caribbean continues to grow at a relatively strong rate and should provide reluctant investors with some assurance. Such strong top and bottom line fundamentals have also transcended to the equity side, relative to share price, in a process which illustrates how Royal Caribbean is a value company. With a trailing P/E ratio of about 16, which should decline to near 14 when looking at the next twelve months, relative to the industry's (General Entertainment) P/E ratio of about 26, there is evidence to support such a claim. Even when compared to similar companies who provide the same services, both the trailing and forward P/E ratio of Royal Caribbean are lower to competitor's Carnival Corporation which stands with respective numbers of 18 and 17. In addition, Royal Caribbean has a P/S, Enterprise Value/Revenue, and Enterprise Value/EBIDTA ratio of about 1.8, 2.7, and 10.9 over the past twelve months which are all significantly lower when compared to rival Carnival's respective numbers of 3.5, 4.1, and 13.6. These figures indicate, relative to share price, that Royal Caribbean has performed tremendously well and is undervalued when compared to the rest of the industry. It is true that the PEG is of Royal Caribbean is slightly higher at a five year level when compared to Carnival, but such is only marginal and subjective since the growth of a company has the strong potential to fluctuate during such a large period of time. Nevertheless, the one area that does concern me with Royal Caribbean's fundamentals is its beta and 52 week share price change relative to the S&P. With a beta of about 1.75 and a gain of near 10% for the S&P in one year, a share price drop of 3.4% during that duration is not too encouraging. However, with a ROE of above 10%, which is higher than the industry's figure, along with the undervalued share price given the strong fundamentals, there should be no problem in 2007, with the strong economic background, for Royal Caribbean to rally and surprise its shareholders with historic highs.
Therefore, because of the strong fundamentals and a perfect economic situation, investors should heed the given indicators and start investing in this company. To provide some simple technical analysis to add some extra cushion, while it's true that Royal Caribbean did not have a stellar year in 2006, it is also true that in late August, on high volume, the share price of this company grew almost 9%. Ever since that day the share price has grown at a steady level with fundamentals that are still too high to what the share price should be now. Thus, on account of all the favorable indicators provided for this company, now would be an excellent time to revisit your portfolio and make the intelligent gesture of purchasing a few shares of this company.

Majorca Real Estate on Brink of 2007 Price Drop
Mallorca real estate has been popular for several decades now, with many Europeans who have holidayed on the Spanish island deciding to buy a second home for holidays, a business, or for retirement.
Prices have risen on the island as buyers - mainly British and German - have moved in, but there are mixed signals coming from the property and tourist sectors, which could see a freeze in Majorca property inflation, and possibly even a dip in prices in the near future.
Official figures for Majorca holidays this year indicate an increase in tourist numbers by between five and seven per cent. And it is from the pool of holidaymakers where property sales often happen a few months later, as some visitors like the island so much they decide to look into buying an apartment or villa, with some even retiring to the island, or buying a business.
With the increase in visitor numbers, property demand should in theory be good.
Cheap Mallorca flights have been running for some years now, and even with increased air tax in the UK, Mallorca is easily accessible from more than a dozen airports in the UK for property owners and tourists alike, with a flight time of under two hours, allowing a market for weekend homes for overseas property buyers.
Although one of the earliest package holiday destinations with companies like Thomas Cook, Mallorca has had new competition in recent years from the former Soviet Bloc countries in Eastern Europe, that are now able to offer cheap holidays to the British market, and for the property market countries like Croatia and Bulgaria have been able to offer apartments and villas at a fraction of the price Majorca can offer.
In response, the island has fought back showing it's not just the Mallorca weather that attracts property buyers, but a well established market with the infrastructure in place to protect overseas investors money.
Any slow down or possible reversal of property prices could be welcomed by the local Majorca population.
They have seen the price of property in Majorca escalate, and many have been priced out of buying their own home.
This has led to some protests, with a demonstration against plans for more development in Mallorca being held earlier in the year, with the belief that developers will destroy what is left of Majorca's open spaces, and rendering the map of Mallorca unrecognisable in years to come.
With encouraging tourist figures, Mallorca hasn't been resting on her laurels. This summer's SuperCup yachting event has seen the appointed of an experenced race organiser, in an attempt to make the event more high profile.
Similarly, neighbouring island Minorca is hosting a Classic Yachts weekend, with entrants expected from across Europe, with the event boosting occupancy for Majorca hotels.
Of the three Balearic Islands, Ibiza comes top for spending per tourist according to official recent statistics, reaching nearly a hundred Euros a day per tourist, with Majorca second, and Menorca third.
Current prices for property in Mallorca include brand new 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartments in Puerto Pollensa at 285,000 Euros, a country house with its own pool at 1,500,000 Euros, and a three bedroom three bathroom villa with its own pool at 900,000.

Drop in oil prices might mean cheaper gas prices
(KMOV) -- A recent drop in oil prices might mean drivers will be paying less at the pump. Oil prices fell to $70/barrel on Monday, the lowest price of the year. That's down 20 percent from the 18 month high set just two weeks ago. This drop might be a sign of cheaper gas prices in the near future. As of Monday night, gas is selling for around $2.87 per gallon, which is consistent with prices ...
