Keep an eye on CTIX, meltdown Fri. when an uninformed analyst on CNBC said to avoid it and the sector due to commissions for most travel agents being cut to 5%. After this He tried to pump STMP, nuff said about his credibility. CTIX gets only 6% of it's revenues from commissions and has over 500,000 exclusive routes under contract. They are the leader in the wholesale direct travel industry and still have a 15% margin structure. Approx. 60% of CTIX sales are from buying non published airfares from the carriers and then selling them to the public. Stock was at 66 3 months ago and closed at bid of 16 Fri. with a 9.4 mln. float. They beat est. on Oct. 25 .11 vs .09 while PCLN lost .08, looks like float is 10% or more shorts.
