Carnival reported second quarter revenue of $2.4bn, up nearly 50% compared to the previous quarter. The group posted an underlying net loss of $1.9bn, taking the total loss for the half year to $3.8bn.

Cash flow from operations turned positive in April and was positive for the second quarter.

The group warned ''inflation and higher fuel prices are collectively having a material impact on the company's business, including its results of operations, liquidity and financial position''. Guidance for a net loss at the full year remains, and occupancy is still expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023.

Sat on their backsides waiting for an offer they can't refuse?

WH Smith the travel company.

Looking at those late trades today it seems that someone(s) is hoovering up bargains. Like most here I'm well under and waiting for the eventual upturn that could take 2 years or before that just peace in Ukraine.

My own take on this is that the planned capital reorganisation is part of a plan that the BOD has yet to make known, the purpose that is dependent upon approval of the capital restructure. I think that there could be plans for M & A , something that DB hinted about at the last presentation.

Everyone involved at all levels, including major shareholders want to see this company come good. It has been a long hard slog the SP held back by debt levels but we are almost there. With 5 more years gold plus further exploration on and off site the only way is up.

£148 from Morethan. She's swapped from SAGA. How many more will do the same.

My wife's car insurance with SAGA is due 27 June. It has gone up from £132 to £184. Naturally she will not renew. Such policies, coupled with their cruise requirements, seem designed to lose customers and shareholders alike. As soon as I can be in the black with SAGA, I'm out.

"Will guests and crew be required to wear face coverings?"

"You are only required to wear a face mask when walking between enclosed spaces around the ship, including when using the lifts. Exceptions are when in the Theatre, the Fairway, the Craft Room, and the Card Room, where it remains compulsory to wear a face mask at all times. Please note that face visors are not permitted and we cannot allow any exemptions for the use of face masks onboard."

"We will continue to review the requirements to wear face masks on a regular basis and when appropriate will inform you of any change."

This is bad for business. Saga need to drop this asap.

I'm up in Lancashire so unable to make the meeting. Undecided about the change anyway but good luck on the day.

Hi Rox. We're in Skiathos. With the Dosh we're saving I will top up with more CARD when back home. Yammas.

Our host Kostas has his birthday on Thursday and we brought a CARD card with us. And a fluffy CARD pirate for his new grandson.

23 degrees here. Sorry folks. Good luck to us all.

Good luck Jim.

A disappointing update. Debt reduced and goodish figures but:
No mention of the promised M&A activity
Illegal miners still on site restricting access
No mention of the promised “increasing shareholder value”
It’s looking like late 2022 before LTHs see any real increase in SP.
Potential positives for the SP is that inflation set to roar ahead
But gold is now struggling to make headway against US 10 year yields.
I’m not selling. GLA.

CV. LoL. A little optimistic. I'm looking for 2.5p close of play Friday.

GLA . We LTHs deserve a boost.

Hat tip to Rox here who put me on to CARD via the SAGA forum (the less said the better).

Thanks Rox and yes, I DMOR.

I’m now 10/12% in profit and definitely not selling because I have no doubt there’s better to come from CARD. £1 and more by Christmas IMHO – DYOR.

Off on holiday next week for 14 days to the Med. Our host with his new 9 month old grandson child is to receive a £2.99 fluffy toy from CARD.

And yet more "buys" as "sells". GLA all long term holders for this or next week.

Welcome aboard friend. You bought in at a good pry.

Basically, there's a buyer and a seller but it's not always clear for the trade in question.

Sadly, no similar statement from SAGA.

It’s 2 to 3 weeks to the update during which the average price of gold has been around $1900 to $1930. At the last update DB said that the company were working on a short list of four M & A possibilities as part of their plan to “increase shareholder value”.

With inflation in western economies riding high and no real sign of the Ukraine trouble being sorted, this share is a steal at below 1.50p. The real value of MTL when our loan interest rate drops to 7% (inflation at 8-10%), must be at least double the current.

Yes, we have heard it all before, but after a long slog for us LTHs this summer and autumn should see real improvement.

Roy, I agree, Les did us all a real favour and while I'm not in to your own and Lee's level, I wish I was.
