Behind the Scenes of Royal Caribbean Gr's Latest Options Trends

Alli Webb, the visionary behind Drybar, knows all too well how life can look dazzling from the outside. Starting in 2010, she transformed her mobile hairstyling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42467151/im-literally-peddling-cookies-at-2-a-m-how-this-ceo-turned-200m-revenue-from-a-college-side-hustle-gone-south">side hustle</a> into a nationwide phenomenon.&nbsp;
With over 160 locations across the U.S., Drybar became a staple for salon-goers, raking in loyal customers with its no-cut, no-color blowout-only concept.&nbsp;
By 2019, the company had reached new heights, selling to Helen of Troy for a jaw-dropping $255 million. This move aligned with the global salon industry&#8217;s valuation projected to reach $469.48 billion by 2030 due to increasing consumer spending on personal care.&nbsp;

</ul>
But success isn't always as glamorous as it seems. "I knew my life was going to change forever," Webb told CNBC Make It. What followed, however, wasn't just Champagne and celebrations. "Everything was starting to unravel for me personally," she admitted.
Seven years into running Drybar, Webb's personal life hit a breaking point. Her marriage to cofounder Cameron Webb ended after 16 years. Her mother lost a battle with cancer. To make matters worse, her teenage son struggled with addiction and entered rehab.
"Am I ruining my family? Our lives?" Webb recalled asking herself during this turbulent period, as described in her recent book The Messy Truth.

Like many entrepreneurs, Webb threw herself into her work, using it as a buffer against emotional pain. Drybar's runaway success distracted her from dealing with the cracks in her personal life.&nbsp;
"We distract ourselves when we don't want to deal with stuff," she said, reflecting on those years. But as the pressures mounted, so did the toll on her mental health. In 2018, she hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42487831/this-ceos-journey-from-rock-bottom-to-100m-success-i-hated-my-job-quit-in-secret-and-built-showpo-over-glasses-of-red-wine">rock bottom</a>, a chapter she described as her "Great Depression."
A turning point came during a conversation with Brené Brown, the celebrated author and professor of social work. "She helped me realize I hadn't processed the trauma from my divorce, my mother's death or the guilt I felt over my son's struggles," Webb shared.&nbsp;
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
That realization prompted her to adopt mental health strategies that have since become non-negotiables in her life. Therapy, meditation, journaling and exercise became part of her routine.&nbsp;
"Talking it through with somebody is a big deal," Webb said, adding that writing down her feelings helped her process emotions and find relief. "Get that stuff out of your head and onto paper," she advised. "It's so alleviating."
Today, Webb still juggles entrepreneurial roles – she cofounded the massage startup Squeeze and serves as president of Canopy, a humidifier brand – but she's no longer chasing success at the expense of her well-being.&nbsp;
"I could never see myself working myself into the ground [again] the way I did when we were growing Drybar," she told CNBC Make It. Her leadership philosophy has evolved as well.&nbsp;

Shares of companies in the broader tech sector are trading lower after experiencing strong gains in 2024 amid AI momentum.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett has had plenty of winning stock picks over the years, helping to boost the value of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). The legendary stock picker has also made some mistakes when it comes to buying and selling certain stocks and sectors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig"> over the years.</a>
Here's a look back at what Buffett openly calls one of his mistakes.
Buffett Buys Disney Stock: Today, Disney (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) is one of the largest media companies in the world and collects billions of dollars from its<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says"> theatrical movie releases</a> and sectors like television, theme parks and streaming.
Back in 1966, when Buffett met with Disney co-founder Walt Disney, the company had its Disneyland theme park open in California but had not yet opened its Disney World in Florida, which is today one of the largest theme parks in the world.
Buffett's meeting with Disney is retold through a substack <a href="https://www.readtrung.com/p/buffetts-18b-miss-on-disney">post </a>from popular X <a href="https://x.com/TrungTPhan/status/1714065970384294043">poster </a>Trung Phan using a series of lectures from Notre Dame's MBA school.
"I went out to see Walt Disney. We sat down and he told me the whole plan for the company – he couldn't have been a nicer guy," Buffett said.
Buffett invested $4 million in Disney in 1966 thanks to that meeting, taking a 5% stake in Disney. Buffett said Disney probably would have been able to get a valuation of between $300 million and $400 million if they were a private company at the time and gone the venture capitalist route.
The legendary investor has said over the years there were several reasons for his investment in Disney, including the company's intellectual property.
"Mary Poppins had just come out. Mary Poppins made about $30 million that year, and seven years later you're going to show it to kids the same age. It's like having an oil well where all the oil seeps back in."
Buffett said that Disney had around 220 movies at the time including "Snow White," "Three Little Pigs" and "Fantasia. Despite potential value unlock from intellectual property, Disney wrote down the value of past films to $0.
"There were no residual values placed on the value of any Disney picture up through the 1960s."
Buffett also recalled the low valuation of Disney despite having the Disneyland theme park.
"The Pirates of the Caribbean ride had just been put in and it cost $17 million bucks."
Buffett couldn't believe that the company sold at "only 5x rides" at the time.
Despite the strong investment case laid out by Buffett, he sold the Disney stock a year later for $6 million, netting a profit of $2 million and a 50% gain. For Buffett's current long-term holding mentality, the short-term hold might have caused red flags for Disney stock back in 1967.

Buffett Buys Disney Stock Again: While Buffett sold Disney in 1967, he came back to the media giant years later. Buffett invested in Capital Cities in 1985 to help the media company finance its $3.5 billion acquisition of ABC.
Disney later bought Capital Cities/ABC for $19 billion, a deal that Buffett may have helped facilitate thanks to a meeting between Capital Cities CEO Tom Murphy and Disney CEO Michael Eisner, as recalled in the 1995 Berkshire annual <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1995.html">letter</a>.
Thanks to his ownership of Capital Cities stock at the time, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway got a 3.6% stake in Disney when the merger between the two media companies closed in 1996.
Buffett held onto Disney shares longer this time before mostly selling the position by 2001. This second Disney stake was sold for over $1.5 billion and netted a profit of over 400%, as <a href="https://brk-b.com/berkshire-hathway-s-disney-journey_240427.html#:~:text=However%2C%20Buffett's%20decision%20to%20sell,in%20potential%20gains%201%204.">reported </a>by brk-b.com.
Buffett Admits Disney Sale Was a Mistake: Add up the 5% stake and 3.6% stake and Berkshire Hathaway could own 8.6% of Disney today if they had maintained Buffett's famous quote of "our favorite holding period is forever." &nbsp;
Buffett was asked about the Disney stock sale at the 1998 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders <a href="https://buffett.cnbc.com/video/1998/05/04/afternoon-session---1998-berkshire-hathaway-annual-meeting.html">meeting </a>by an audience member.
The legendary investor recalled that many stocks he has sold have gone up since he exited, including the first stock he ever bought.
"Certainly the Disney sale in the ‘60s was a huge mistake. I should have been buying, forget about holding, and that happened many times," Buffett said.
Buffett said that sometimes he sells stock in one company to buy stock in another, but this doesn't mean that the company he sold stock in is a bad investment.
"I must say that selling the Disney was a mistake."
At the time of writing, Disney shares trade at $112.55 with a market capitalization of 203.8 billion. Buffett's original 5% stake in Disney would be worth around $10.19 billion and his combined 8.6% hypothetical stake would be worth $17.53 billion.
If Buffett had held all his Disney shares, the media company would be his fifth largest stock holding today, trailing only Apple ($77.7 billion), American Express ($46.1 billion), Bank of America ($34.1 billion) and Coca-Cola ($25.0 billion).

What's Going On With SEALSQ Stock Friday?

The airline industry has taken off in 2024, outpacing even the high-flying tech sector. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>), a fund that tracks the airline sector, is up 34% year-to-date as of Dec. 27, compared to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech">Nasdaq 100's 27% gain.</a>
This surge reflects robust demand for premium travel, strategic operational shifts, and booming holiday traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Travel Frenzy Lifts Airline ETF</h3>
Thanksgiving marked a pivotal moment for airline stocks this year. Over the six-day travel period, the TSA screened an estimated 18.3 million passengers—a 6% increase from 2023—pushing the JETS ETF up nearly 6% for November. 
"As a pure consumer play, JETS is a way for investors to capitalize on peak holiday travel, which is expected to see records this year," recently said Kent Thune, research analyst at ETF.com. 
The expert attributed the ETF's recent gains to declining fuel costs and strong seasonal demand. Since August, the JETS ETF has outperformed the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) by robust 31 percentage points. 
JETS' portfolio is heavily weighted toward U.S. airlines with 70% stake, including a 10% weight in American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) and 8.5% in budget carrier Southwest Airlines Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>). The ETF also holds smaller positions in Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPE#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>), and TripAdvisor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRIP#NASDAQ">TRIP</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Premium Demand Redefines Industry</h3>
Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>), the second and fourth-largest U.S. carriers by market share, have been standout performers, surging 53% and 140% respectively this year. Together, they account for over 26% of JETS' holdings. 
Despite facing cost pressures from rising pilot salaries and maintenance expenses, the airlines have thrived thanks to booming demand for premium travel options. Delta recently revealed plans to expand high-end services, projecting premium ticket revenues will surpass main cabin sales—a trend reshaping the industry's profit dynamics.
"Premium revenue trends have outpaced main cabin over the last several years," Catharine O'Brien, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said.
"Airlines have disaggregated premium demand to serve more segments of premium demand from premium economy seats in the main cabin to lie flat business class, with premium international economy and domestic first class in between,&#8221; she said. 
The analyst indicated that airlines with exposure to premium travel and strategic capacity improvements, including Delta, Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>), and United, are expected to outperform next year.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Leasing Market Tailwinds</h3>
Aircraft lessors like AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AER#NYSE">AER</a>) and Air Lease Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AL#NYSE">AL</a>) are also benefiting from tight supply and strong demand. 
According to Goldman Sachs, higher lease extensions and gains on sales are boosting profitability, with analyst forecasting improved returns on equity for lessors in 2025.
&#8220;Looking into 2025, we expect many of the same themes to persist, with the drivers of aircraft availability mixed and unit cost inflation continuing, but decelerating,&#8221; O&#8217;Brien said.
