Q&A:
Specific Stocks
Dear Louis, I understand that consumer spending is down and money is tight for all of us right now. However, I’ve been having great success with Priceline.com (PCLN). Is there any rhyme or reason for this? Not that I’m complaining of course!
Yes, it makes perfect sense. When consumer spending is down that means that shoppers are eager to find discounts and that helps the business model at Priceline.com (PCLN). The company is well-positioned to benefit from sluggish consumer spending.
