Sometimes these deals work out.

Most people won't know it as Schneider Electric, so they wouldn't know how to invest in it.

And there you go.

It's a fairly modestly valued stock, a little bit cheaper than Arch Rival Eaton.

And, you know, it's one of those things you have to look for.

You just won't stumble over it.

You have to go looking for it.

Yeah, there's a couple of things.

One is that co-founder, CEO Brian Chesky has done a great strategy where he is actually living in a different Airbnb property.

It's like on a weekly basis or every couple of weeks, something like that.

As I get older, as I start to travel more, I'm finding that is more appealing an idea for me as well.

And I think that that may actually resonate with some older travelers as they get to a point where they're thinking about retirement, have more time to spend on the road.

Suddenly, that hotel mindset, it's just different from what you get from an Airbnb.

I think there's a lot of potential there.

The other thing that I have run into in my own travels in the past year is that Airbnb is actually starting to get some cross-listings from traditional hotels.

What I was shocked at is, the pricing on the hotel rooms on Airbnb is sometimes cheaper than what you get

from aggregator sites.

I even ran into one situation where it happened to be a Marriott property.

I'm a Marriott Bonvoy loyalty member.

There's a better price on Airbnb than I could get as a loyalty member, which ticked me off as a loyalty member.
