He offered CNBC his take in two consumer stocks:

Recommendations:

Carnival [CCL  Loading...      ()   ]: He notes that the cruise line's "earnings have held up" -- despite soaring fuel costs and inflation in general. He pointed out that "older folks" are dependable customers, who scrimp and save specifically for sea vacations.

Tiffany [TIF  Loading...      ()   ]: Despite the hit taken by many luxury retailers, Bobrinskoy points out that "only one-sixteenth of a stock's value is this year's earnings" -- and he sees bright things in store for the iconic jeweler next year.

"You put a diamond ring in that blue box and it's magic," he declared.
