Defensive Buying - week ending 16 June 2017

The number of shares in a defensive buy is dictated primarily by the asking price and the buy/sell commission that you pay – for simplification I will assume that the buy and sell commissions are the same value and will provide a maximum number of shares to buy for a single commission of £5.25, £7.50, £10.00, and £12.00.

Q2 2017 Carnival Corporation & plc Earnings Conference Call tomorrow (during market)

During market hours tomorrow Carnival report their Q2 results. I like it when Co.'s report during market hours as it inspires volatility in the price levels. Carnival has been on a great run of late printing all time highs week after week. Having a look at the chart shares have shown no signs of slowing down, volume has been lower heading into the release but I'm sure things will move tomorrow.
