Spill could mean dark times for Sunshine State

Bad timing: Oil oozes closer as Florida started seeing a rebound in visitors

By William Spain, MarketWatch

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Already reeling from a real-estate crisis and deep economic slump, Florida faces yet another financial cataclysm if oil from the Gulf spill mars its famous shores, scaring away crucial tourist traffic and wreaking havoc on its fisheries.

Beaches are big business in the Sunshine State. At stake there alone are hundreds of thousands of jobs and perhaps billions of dollars in revenue, depending on when and where the oil from BP PLC's (NYSE:BP) runaway well makes landfall.

Is oil destined for East Coast?

New supercomputer simulations suggest it is "very likely" that ocean currents will carry oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico around Florida and up along thousands of miles of the Eastern seaboard this summer, researchers say. WSJ's Lee Hotz joins the News Hub with more.

Although the beaches were still in the clear as of Thursday afternoon, widespread reports of vacation cancellations are already coming in. Also, the pace of new bookings in many areas has slowed, especially in the Panhandle, which looks likely to be the first -- and maybe the worst -- area affected.
Ocean tourism (as opposed to that offered by Orlando theme parks) and recreation are among Florida's main industries, contributing an estimated $20 billion a year to the state's economy, data from the National Ocean Economics Program show. In 2008, 84.2 million visitors spent over $65 billion in Florida, supporting the more than 1 million residents directly employed by the tourism industry, according to Visit Florida, the state's official tourism-marketing arm.
To stay ahead of the slick and reassure jittery travelers, Florida tourism officials are taking to the airwaves with an ad campaign -- funded by a $25 million grant from BP.
"Even though there are no physical impacts to Florida's shores from the oil spill, the state's tourism industry, especially in the Panhandle, has already felt a very real economic impact," said Gov. Charlie Crist, in announcing the first phase of the campaign. "It is vital that travelers throughout the nation and the world know our beaches and waterways are clear and open for business."
That may not last long. Oil has been sighted 10 miles off the northwestern city of Pensacola, Fla., while more than a third of the Gulf of Mexico has been declared off-limits to fishing by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration -- a swath that includes waters off the Panhandle as well as Key West.
On Thursday, Crist sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke requesting the determination of a "commercial fishery failure," citing "immediate and devastating impacts" from the spill. Such a finding could trigger an infusion of federal aid.

In the letter, Crist blasted news reports for fostering "the mistaken impression that the entire Gulf of Mexico has been tainted" by oil. "This misinformation has affected tourism and seafood consumption in Florida and resulted in severe economic impacts throughout the state."
On the tourism front, early results, especially over the Memorial Day weekend, were relatively encouraging. But some of that could have been driven by people rushing to get in a last dip before the oil arrives. If pictures of soiled sands and dead wildlife like those coming out of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi start emanating from Florida, it could be disastrous.
"It is already ugly," said John Fareed, a partner at Fareed Zapala Koepke, an Orlando-based hospitality-industry consultancy. "When it hits, it will be real and will position itself in the psyche of consumers who are getting ready to make vacation plans. It is going to have a huge impact in terms of future bookings and cancellations.
"Every indication from the people we work with is that bookings have slowed to a trickle. It is the absolute worst time of year to be dealing with these issues. There is absolutely no good spin you can put on this," he added.

Fears of lasting damage

Nor does Fareed see this as a short-term problem. "If oil really does start to wash ashore in big waves, people are going to put off coming to parts of this country for a long while."
The pain will be felt from mom-and-pop motels and restaurants to hotels and resorts operated by global lodging giants, including Marriott International Inc. (NYSE:MAR) , Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE:HOT) , Intercontinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) and Hyatt Hotels Corp. (NYSE:H) -- some of which have dozens of properties in the state.
The spill's timing adds to the pain, occurring right when Florida was beginning to see signs of a modest rebound in visitor levels. After declines in both 2008 and 2009, preliminary estimates from the state are that 22.7 million people arrived in the first quarter, a rise of 2.7% over the same period in 2009.

'When it hits, it will be real and will position itself in the psyche of consumers. ... It is going to have a huge impact in terms of future bookings and cancellations.'

John Fareed, Fareed Zapala Koepke

"Right now, we really don't know what the scope of the economic impact will be to Florida from the Gulf disaster. It's one more of the spill's huge unanswered questions," said Alison Chase, ocean-policy analyst at the Natural Resources Defense Council.
"What we do know is that the fate of its fishing and its tourism and recreation industries -- worth billions -- hangs in the balance," she elaborated. "Only time will tell the full extent of the impact the oil disaster will have on Florida, and how lasting those impacts will be.
"There are two major variables that will dictate the outcome: when the gusher will finally be stopped, and where the wind and currents will take the oil," according to Chase.
For the time being, she noted that just the Panhandle is bracing for impact. But if the oil makes its way into the powerful Loop Current, it could quickly move to the Keys, the Everglades and up the Atlantic seaboard, Chase said.
Or even further: A computer modeling of Gulf currents released last week by the National Center for Atmospheric Research shows the possibility that the spill could extend along thousands of miles of Atlantic Coast -- as far up as North Carolina -- by this summer. Watch News Hub video of current simulation.
According to the simulation, once the oil is caught in the fast-moving Loop Current, it is likely to reach Florida's Atlantic coast within weeks, then move north to Cape Hatteras, N.C., before turning east, though whether it will be a thin film on the surface or mostly under water is unknown.
"I've had a lot of people ask me, 'Will the oil reach Florida?'" said NCAR scientist Synte Peacock. "Actually, our best knowledge says the scope of this environmental disaster is likely to reach far beyond Florida, with impacts that have yet to be understood."

Can You Really Make Money With Penny Stocks

May.23, 2010

 

It’s a question worth asking yourself every now and then. Can you really make money with penny stocks? This type of stock is often associated with junk status and rife with scammers and never an opportunity to make an honest dollar. This blog really doesn’t subscribe to the scammer mentality and believes that there are occasionally small caps stocks out there that really do have potential and honest profits.

By investing capital in small companies you are helping companies with real people make a real living. You are participating in the free market that we are very fortunate to be able to be involved in. By taking some time to really learn about the companies you choose to invest in, you will know that they are making steps towards success.

Not all companies in the sub $5.00 stock price range will be able to become large corporations nor do all of them desire to. It’s OK there are still lots of stocks that will allow you to make oodles of profit under the $5 stock price range.

Be prepared for losses while investing in penny stocks. It’s true that there will be losses, but it’s important to have you’re plan in place and research done. If you truly do your homework on a stock you will come to realized whether or not a stock is a scam or really worthwhile. The people out to scam you are mostly people that are hoping that you buy without due diligence. It works for them in spades too. Don’t let yourself be a part of that.

So to answer the question. YES you really can make money with penny stocks. They are clearly a high-risk way to invest money, but for those who have the time to perform some stock market research it does have the potential to return real money.

Happy Trading
