An inflation-protection trade: Energy is the obvious play. Kinder Morgan is a laggard in energy, though not directly tied to oil prices, but will benefit during this rally. Also likes Cleveland-Cliffs which reports tomorrow. Down from highs, but still very high and lifted by high steel prices. Upside here as the economy expands. Alaska Air. Costs are up, but airline are good at passing on costs to customers. People will come out of hibernation to fly, so demand is up.

ALK has estimated the grounding by Boeing of its Max 9 fleet will likely hinder some of its capacity for a while. For this the market clipped its share price by 20%, but now it is recovering following recently released earnings. The company is reporting expanding margins in both passenger and cargo. It trades at only 1.1x book and 13x earnings. Quarterly cash reserves are growing as debt is retired and shares bought back. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $31, looking to achieve $51 -- upside potential of 36%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $51.50)
