On CNN's Capital Gang, it was reported that the Sheraton Manhattan doubled its room rates this past week to capitalize on the WTC disaster. I'm not a big traveler, but know that I'll make a point of avoiding any Starwood hotel (NYSE:HOT) in the future.

If anyone is aware of other companies seeking to profit from this act of terrorism, I'd appreciate them posting.
