Casino Stocks Hit By Hurricane Scare...

This one was obvious... probably still a good play to short these casino stocks. I imagine there are a number of other businesses that could be impacted by Ivan as well.

Given a holding time frame of > 6 months, it would be a better idea to accumulate (quality) stocks that are hit by some temporary bad news.

Whether or not the casino stocks should be considered quality stocks is left to your own judgement.

so would it be a pretty safe play to short these stock the next time a category 4 or 5 hurricane rolls through that area?

Does no one know the answer to this? Or is it just that no one wants to say one way or the other and be wrong?
