Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jim Royal]

  The latest buy for my Special Situations portfolio is Ryman Hospitality (NYSE: RHP  ) . The company operates four of the top 10 largest convention hotels in the U.S., and it converted to a REIT late last year, making it more likely to trade for a higher multiple. In March, I bought $2,000 of the stock, and it has since done little but go down. But Ryman is a solid company with premier properties! that des! erves to trade at a premium to peers, rather than a steep discount. So I'm adding another $1,000 to my position.
