Folks have been waiting for the cruise industry to turnaround, and it's finally time; the trend is building.
This beaten-down company could very well be the top turnaround play of 2021.

Why CuriosityStream Is the Streaming Stock to Watch of 2021
Streaming media was one of the biggest success stories of 2020, and that trend is shaping up to carry right on through 2021 too.
This is why I'm focusing on a newly public streaming company that has found a niche that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Netflix haven't captured, making it one of the best streaming stocks of 2021.
Here's the hottest streaming stock of 2021...
One Streaming Stock Just Ended Cable TV for Good
Michelangelo took four years to paint one ceiling in Rome.
One of the greatest film trilogies of all time, The Lord of the Rings, took three years to film.
No, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
And still, that seems to be the entire goal of the streaming industry right now – to build Rome in a day.
According to OnePoll, the average person streams eight hours a day.
This fuels a trend within streaming stocks that could double your money in a year.

Why FUBO Is the “Cord-Cutting” Profit Play of 2021
With people spending more time at home, subscriber totals for Disney Plus, Netflix, and Roku have ballooned by the tens of millions, and 80% of U.S. households now have at least some way to stream videos.
The quality and amount of content is incredible, but there's something that's been lacking with the services listed above – the ability to just sit down and channel surf live TV, have live news updates running in the background, and watch your favorite sports as they are being played.
Thankfully, products like Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube TV, DISH Network's SlingTV, and Walt Disney Co.'s Hulu Plus Live TV have all helped us unplug from the traditional cable companies that charge an arm and a leg for a bunch of extra channels we don't want or need.
You can now watch live TV with a simple Internet connection anywhere and on any device.
But there's one company that stands out to me above the rest – one that I have been excited about since I spoke with its CEO earlier this year on the Nova-X lifetime podcast, Digitization-X.
Back in July, when I had my one-on-one interview with the CEO, the stock was trading around $10.
Today, it's at $16. But that won't last...
TV Is Dead, Long Live Connected TV (Part 3): Digital First TV
Streaming services have experienced rapid growth in adoption over the last 5 years.
And while almost 80% of U.S.
households have some form of device for streaming video and subscribe to a streaming service, many of them still pay for access to cable.
A big part of this is that sports and news content have been a key driver for cable operators.
Most streaming subscription services have chosen to focus only on entertainment offerings.
While traditional TV has suffered at the hands of newer services like Netflix, Hulu and HBO, some people will never stop watching TV in that fashion.
No Stimulus Necessary for My Watchlist Stocks to Move
The airline sector continues to get clobbered by the pandemic with no stimulus in sight.
But it would be a mistake to count on it regardless.
The same is true of investing and trading right now – a big stimulus rally could happen, but don’t bank on it.
Here’s what our Andrew Keene is doing instead… .

TV Is Dead, Long Live Connected TV (Part 2): A Generational Pick-and-Shovel Play
The streaming wars are raging, and investors are starting to sense the opportunity behind this exciting trend.
Netflix Inc.
(NASDAQ: NFLX), Walt Disney Co.'s (NYSE: DIS) Disney Plus, Hulu, Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) Apple TV Plus, Comcast Corp.'s (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Peacock, and Viacom's (NASDAQ: VIAC) CBS All Access are just a few of the many connected TV (CTV) services vying for supremacy.
Will Disney Plus take away business from Netflix? Will Apple put more weight behind Apple TV Plus? Does Comcast go all in on Peacock? I admit, I would like to know the answer to these questions, but without a crystal ball, no one can tell the future.
But one thing I do know is that CTV is here to stay.
It has been made clear by the companies I've just listed.
Buy Put Options on Disney Stock Before This Happens
One of the biggest effects of the pandemic and lockdowns was the cancellation of sports.
That's not just a minor inconvenience for sports fans, there are billions of dollars at stake.
Disney was one of the hardest hit stocks during the pandemic, dropping 42% between Jan. 1 and March 23.
With its portfolio of theme parks and cruise lines, Disney became a popular target for bearish traders.
Today shares have rallied nearly 60% higher since their March lows and the stock is within striking distance of get back to even on the year.
That growth might not hold up if sports don't return this fall.
And it's making put options the perfect strategy for Disney stock...
