I clicked on the "throw this stock away link' and noticed Starwood was in there, too.
But interestingly, Interval is recommended (along with a few others). See article below:
"Good news
As I have every week, I don't talk down a stock unless I have three alternatives that I believe will outperform the company getting the heave ho. Let's go over the three fill-ins.
* Home Inns & Hotels (Nasdaq: HMIN): If you're going to buy into lodging, you may as well go where the growth is. Home Inns runs a rapidly growing chain of value-minded hotels in China. Last quarter was another hot one, with revenue soaring 93% during the quarter. The earnings numbers aren't as kind, but that's what happens when you're scaling quickly with heady expansion -- Home Inns now presides over 366 locations. Yes, Starwood has a presence in the world's most populous nation, too -- it just opened its 100th hotel in Greater China -- but Home Inns is the pure play in the area.
* Great Wolf Resorts (Nasdaq: WOLF): If you're looking for growth in a chain closer to home, check out Great Wolf. The small yet expanding chain of themed resorts with massive indoor waterparks is doing nicely. As a self-contained resort, it's been a logical choice for families this summer who want to get away without refueling their gas tanks every other day. No, the hotels aren't cheap, but they remain popular. The stock has been trending higher since last month's quarterly report. It closed out the second quarter with healthy momentum, as revenue per available room -- or RevPAR -- rose by a sharp 8.1% in June.
* Interval Leisure (Nasdaq: IILG): It's been just a few weeks since IAC (Nasdaq: IACID) split into five companies, but travel buffs may want to keep an eye on the Interval offspring. Interval runs a popular timeshare-swapping network. The company also runs several travel-related websites. Yes, timeshare sales are weak, but that's one more reason why folks are swapping weeks with one another.
Either way, just make sure you know what you're checking into. Don't buy a stock for its ticker symbol, because Starwood's is deceptive right now. Don't let the bedbugs bite."
