Hey MPA Investors!

We’re going on a trip soon. And if you’re anything like us that means you hit up the travel sites. And today’s is one of the leaders in the space so let’s jump right in:

THIS WEEKS' MOVERS SNAPSHOT

Expedia (Stock Ticker: EXPE) - You may be a “googler” and just type your destination in and let Google do the rest, but regardless you’re bound to end up on Expedia.com. Whether it’s hotels, cards, cruises, or airline tickets Expedia is without a doubt one of the leaders in the space.

Why EXPE?

We’re expecting to see growth in the online booking space from 2022 to 2030. Of course all travel related companies were hit hard during the pandemic. But with restrictions being lifted, travel is seeing a boost. More specifically with recent travel restrictions to and from China being lifted, Expeida is anticipating some of that traffic. Overall people are feeling good about traveling again. The air travel searches in China increased by 900%. Bottom line, we’re ready to get the heck out of our houses and see the world again!

Why we feel there’s a buying opportunity:

  1. Many of the large banks agree that Expedia will see an increase over the next 12 months.

    1. Bloomberg expects it to hit $134.21

    2. Bernstein set a price target of $115.

    3. Credit Suisse is at $174

    4. Goldman Sachs set a price of $167

    5. My Pocket Analyst sees an end of 2023 Price of $140

CURRENT PRICE (as of this email): $94.70

TERMS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Balanced Fund- Is a mutual fund that has a balanced goal. One that isn't too risky while still focusing on growth. It generally holds stocks or bonds and picks companies that exist in different industries as well as different parts of the world. The objective is that no one factor has too much of an impact on the fund.

Let’s talk investment risk:

No matter what anyone tells you, every investment comes with risk. Even keeping your money in the bank comes with risk. The risk isn’t very high for keeping your money in the bank, but there’s still a risk. Believe it or not, there’s even a risk for keeping cash. You could have it stolen or in 5 years it could be worth less than it’s worth now because of inflation. So it’s important to understand the different levels of risks that come with investing of all kinds. We would not recommend investing in individual stocks as a retirement plan. If you’re interested in investing in stocks for other reasons, the analysis we give you could help. But we have to be clear, these are NOT recommendations, this is analysis. We give you the analysis similar to what pros get and you decide what to do with it. Our mission is to put the same information that the pros get, into the hands of everyday investors like you in a way that is easy to understand.
