5 Stressed Out Leisure Stocks to Sell

I think it’s quite an understatement to say the hotel and leisure industry has felt the punch of a volatile economy over the past 12 months. The recent Carnival (NYSE:CCL) cruise ship tragedy of the Costa Concordia doesn’t help either. These five leisurely stocks were on my sell list last month, and they’re not coming off any time soon.

I watch more than 5,000 publicly traded companies with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of fundamental and quantitative measures. And this week, I’ve got five stressed out leisure stocks to sell.

Here they are, in alphabetical order. Each one of these stocks gets a “D” or “F” according to my research, meaning it is a “sell” or “strong sell.”
