Hot Quality Companies To Buy Right Now

AP/Susan Walsh • The new CEO of post-merger American Airlines (AAL), Doug Parker, made two statements on CNBC Monday that we really, really want to believe. One: In spite of the merger, airfares won't rise "as long as demand stays the same." And two: Now that all of the majors can pretty much fly you anywhere, they are going to have to compete on service. We're trying to imagine a world in which airlines are serious about wooing ordinary travelers with a better flying experience. • Speaking of air travel, check this out. For sale: One large international airport in a scenic Spanish location -- a steal at just 10 percent of the $1.4 billion it cost to build. It's been unused for a few years, because, turns out, that whole "if you build it, they will come" theory doesn't always apply to new airports in nations experiencing massive real estate bubbles. Yes, you'll have to lay out $140 million, but come on: You can land an Airbus 380 there. What better way to become the envy of all your friends who are tooling around in little Gulfstreams or () Netjets? • The Washington Post has done a fascinating analysis of inequality in America, and how the income and educational "elite" have sorted themselves geographically away from the hoi polloi, and what that means for society at large. It's well worth a read (and you know you're curious about where your ZIP code falls on the spectrum.) Also, for a quick look, here are the top 20 elite ZIP codes. • GM (GM) is officially Government Motors no more, now that the Treasury has sold the last of its stock in the automaker, accepting a $10.7 billion loss on the direct investment. On the up side, it also saved 1.5 million American jobs (keeping those folks off the dole) and preserved $105.3 billion in tax revenues. But forget all that. That's the old General Motors news. The new news is that GM has picked its first woman CEO: Mary Barra, who now holds what many consider the most important job in the company -- senior vice president for global product development. • And finally, it's not just the Average Joes and low-income shoppers who are trimming their budgets this holiday season. Reports show even the rich are taking a frugal tack in their luxury buying.

  www.fossil.com From the world's largest retailer stepping up with fresh financials to a maker of fashionable timepieces proving that it can still grow in this unwelcome climate for watchmakers, here are some of the things that will help shape the week that lies ahead on Wall Street. Monday -- Sounds Good DTS (DTSI) has carved a cozy living providing sound-enhancing technology in Blu-ray players, video game consoles and other devices. Despite its success, DTS is trading a lot closer to its 52-week low than its 52-week high. One thing holding it back is that it has failed to impress the market with its quarterly financials. It's coming off back-to-back quarters of falling short of Wall Street's profit expectations. It's against this setting that DTS will step up after Monday's market close to deliver its latest results. Will the streak of disappointment stretch to three quarters, or is DTS finally going to put out a report that looks as good as its audio technology sounds? We will know soon. Tuesday -- Fossil Fuel Fossil (FOSL) may seem to be toiling away in an industry worthy of its name. Aren't wristwatches dinosaurs? Who wears watches anymore when we have smartwatches to tell us the time. Folks with active lifestyles are saving their wrists for fitness bracelets. Well, Fossil is growing just nicely in this environment, thank you very much. When the trendy watchmaker reports on Tuesday analysts see revenue climbing 13 percent. They see top-line growth of 10 percent for all of 2014. Fossil's profitability isn't expected to clock in as nicely, but unlike DTS,we've seen Fossil blow Wall Street's profit targets away consistently over the past year. Wednesday -- Press Hard CafePress (PRSS) has been a disappointment for investors since going public at $19 two years ago. The stock opened higher on its first day of trading, but it's been mostly downhill for the shares, which now fetch less than a third of the initial public offering price. CafePress was hoping
