Let's examine three travel plays with robust share price momentum that still trade at reasonable valuations. For the first quarter, Booking beat on sales and earnings, with gross travel bookings rising 10% year-over-year (YOY). Given its market leadership in the face of the ongoing travel resurgence, it's tough to hop off BKNG stock. Indeed, it is at a fresh new high. In fact, the potential for the actual summer numbers to surpass estimates is likely. As travel picks up, hotel bookings are sure to get a nic ...

Although we intuitively know that eventually we will see a correction, or the stocks might crash into a bear market, they are relatively short-lived events. The average bear market lasts about 16 months while bull markets are measured in years. Even better, they also tend to go on and wipe out all remnants of the losses.
