5 Hot Stocks for Boomer Consumers

Carnival Corp. (CCL)

I’ve never been on a cruise, but I know plenty of boomers that have. More importantly, I know plenty that plan to go on cruises once they retire.
That’s why our first boomer stock is Carnival Corp. (CCL), the cruise ship and travel company. As of
January 2009, the company operated 88 cruise ships in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Carnival shares were recently upgraded by Bernstein Research, with analyst Janet Brashear saying the cruise industry will benefit in 2010 from increased
European travel. I agree with Brashear, and I also think if you look at the demographic of those European bookings, you’ll find a whole lot of baby
boomers.
