-Starwood Hotels announced strong earnings last Thursday, raising their 2010 earnings outlook. They are benefitting from strong growth in Asia and Latin America. While concerns remain on overall health of the U.S. and European economies, investors are putting less likelihood of a significant global economic slowdown, and have been buying stocks levered to international growth again. In this market environment, I would expect HOT to rise steadily to around $50 in the next few weeks.
