Mixed Bag in Online Travel Short Sales (May 2007) (PCLN, EXPE, TZOO, CTRP)
Published:
Stock Tickers: PCLN, EXPE, TZOO, CTRP
The online travel sector is a bit of an odd bird. The travel sector itself is of course very cyclical and one of the first expenses that can be trimmed without taking a hit to your status is lavish travel. Not all travel of course, but the high end travel. Because of the growth in online activities, online travel has been a bit of a perpetual growth sector. With Orbitz being potentially back on the IPO radar, we wanted to see what was happening in short selling in the online travel sector.
