As I have said, many times, I have been very lucky with some of my investments, and I have let things ride, but as my years has gone by, I have to face a reality that I need X Pot of money.
That is the only reason why I sold CCL, and unfortunately IAG, not because I don't believe in either, purely because I am protecting some of my money.
I still hold 10,000 CCL shares, I made 12p on IAG.
I have no idea how old you are, as we've never talked about that, but assuming you are not late 50's/60's, just wait it out.
As I have said many times, CCL, IAG, all travel will be double / treble / quadruple.
Now, we can all disagree on how long it will be, but assuming no WW3 or Covid event/s, give it 5 years and you will be laughing.
In the "olden days", you had a pension statement that was received once a year, and you looked at it and moaned how it only went up 4%, or down 6%, and then put it in the draw and life continued.
Unfortunately we've had a series of unbelievable events in a string of events. Nobody would ever believe in 2019, that everyone would be shut at home in 2020, that people would be wearing masks, that the buzzing cruise and travel industry would be on it's knee's.
The issue with CCL, IAG, and all the travel companies are purely debt, and the fact that the big boys want other stocks to go up now, that is all.
The belief that Travel will reduce because nobody has any money is rubbish. Everyone will say that they "deserve" a vacation, they are "entitled" to a vacation, assuming they actually work of course......nobody will put something off anymore.
Depending on your pot size, depending on your age, you should have a spread investment portfolio.
One thing I realised in July last year through to Monday this week was that the tortoise can beat the Hare.
CCL swings massively, that's why people "trade it", it's an emotional rollercoaster.
If you are 50 or less, just wait, ride it out, read the news but don't look at the share prices or your Pot.
That would be my two cents for you. BUT, ultimately it is your money, your future, so you have to do what you feel happy about.

What the west must do right now is help Ukraine. Right now Putin is stronger position because of all attention is been turned to 9m population of Israel. If Ukraine fails imagine the hunger in world . Ukraine grain will be stopped to world immediately to world by Putin . Watch this space that is what he will do . We are now completely focused on Israel and watching what dead number to be topped up in Gaza by this animals . Bllocks
Same decision for all of us better.
If this current fiasco stops all will be fantastic..
If not anything could happen……
Bot, you haven’t done bad at all :)
I almost sold Iag yesterday to top up carnival to I can get out at 10.83 but I’m glad I didn’t . That means more deep in the mud .
Topo ,
No one wants the war but in my eyes as much as I think Iran is problem. USA and Israel have also been the devils in Middle East .Currently USA has been shifting B-1 bombing to Turkish place called Adana where they also bombed Syria and Iraq . The war has began already it is matter of days and weeks and hours now.
Carnival went from negative to plus negative since results. That is not really good. The question is do I sell it all and take the los that I made from other shares and gave to Carnival or so I stay in.
Better - My take on it for what its worth the middle east will not go to full blown war as if it did the WW3 would begin and Russia does not want that nor do China they know it will be a long drawn out 15 year + war. The cruise ship destinations have become smaller but still there is scope for new destinations and China are really pushing there cruise industry. The parallels do not add up for a WW3 of major conflict the the middle east but that's just my take.
.
£5.50 is when I bought my first 50k shares.!
I made £8 on those.!
Those were the days.!
Betterlife, if I thought that CCL would approach anyway near £6 then I would be selling all my holding and waiting to buy back at under £7 and as close to £6 as I dared. As it happens I don't think it will drop that low unless the Middle East seriously deteriorates. I suspect that it will continue to bubble and as a result the SP might drop a little more. In which case I will top up but only if it drops below circa £9.
As for long term investors - only 28 percent is in the hands of private investors which means 72 percent is owned by funds/internal owners/etc which is (the 72 percent) I think massive considering there is no dividend and not of investment grade.
Even the brokers couldn’t get it right after results. Something somewhere doesn’t give trust to investors after results day I think . If this conflict goes further which I think it will than Carnival will play between £6-10 for very long time. Need some solid news and attract more long time investors with bigger bag .
CCL does not want to fly at all. RCL is back to where it was but CCL dropped from $17 to $14 for some strange reason. I am confident sooner or later they will rally too and will be close to $20 where it should have been now. DYOR.
I topped up at £10.16...if the Israel and Iran tit for tat stops and israel stops in gaza which it will happen, these will fly IMO.
DYOR.
I've dabbled in these for the last 3 years, as a kid we used to get discounted cruises due to family connections, until the Falkland cancelled a Canberra trip. I've bought and sold between £6 and £13, often day trading. I bought in again this morning at 1017. I think there is upside on the way (final last words).
Usual story, pretty much all of yesterday’s gain washed away.
B
Bonkers.
Actually, it didn't this time, it finally closed after hours at $14.19
Which is 25c, or 18p ish.
BUT..... With the Israel strike on Iran overnight/early morning, who knows what's going to happen today.
Currently all indexes are bright Red.
Pretty sure it continued to get worse
Currently, After Hours, it's $14.16
That's 28c drop since our close
Approx. 20p
The Lord Givith and the Lord Takeith away.
Possibly the. I eat posting day ever and CCL in a good mood as well.
“Tgere is a purpose in life for everyone you meet.
Some come into your life to test you, some to teach you, some to use you and some bring out the very best of you.”
We closed at $14.44
I knew there was a heart of gold in there somewhere, Bot!
K, that picture made me smile - not you in a coffin but the P & O slippers and Arvia cap!
Some years ago, a work colleague asked if do him the honour of taking his funeral. My response? I said I would be delighted. Fortunately, we knew each other well enough that he took it as intended! My mum always said I only opened my mouth to change feet. Nothing changes. 😇

Thank you all for your support and sympathy. Much appreciated. Is this board at risk of deviating from its main purpose?
Not a bad day at all on that front.

Bhants, yes chipboard for me, in my P&O slippers and Arvia cap. K
Bhants.,
Hats off to you.
I am absolutely a sobber at Cremations, family, friends, even neighbours. Unsure why as not like that in normal day life, but hey.!
Luckily, never been to a funeral where the person was buried, unsure what I would do then.!
Thanks bhants apologies if I seemed intrusive but thanks for your honesty. And well done to you for doing that not something i could do I don't think !
