The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
You must be getting close to being happy with the price, Bot, especially as you bought some more.
What is happening at NatWest? Huge gain in the last two weeks. Any idea what will happen after dividend on Monday?
B
For any other travel share Elliot, I might have agreed with you, although I haven’t looked. But you can never expect CCL to behave in any way logically.
Bot, you’re beginning to sound like Betterlife. Actually, it is raining here in Bhants land and has been most of the day so far.
B
Thanks YR, helpful.
Bot, I agree. That video was interesting when it talked about even larger ships -285,000 gross tons and 7,000+ pax. Can’t even begin to imagine what that would look like. For tge American market, I guess, not here.
B
Apart from being pretty poorly written, there probably isn’t anything to disagree with.
However, why the market generally seems to dislike CCL so much is hard to fathom. 70%+ of CCL shares are held by institutions so are, I think, not traded. That’s what confuses me about volatility.
B
Hi Betterlife,
That sounds very black cloud-ish and deep-seated and I am very sorry to hear it.
I am sure all on here would wish to help if they can. I am sure we could find a way of communicating privately if that would be of assistance.
B
Afternoon all,
Just back from North Herts after a night away.
This thread has morphed a bit into a place where you can feel safe in making honest comments and I welcome that hugely. Others seem to attract some astonishingly nasty responses so I now avoid them. Long May the friendly support continue.
A propos the actual share price, I cannot complain as my average is around £7.95 so I am happy with anything above that. The recent announcements will reduce interest expense by about $30m this year and $50m in a full year. This should feed through directly to the bottom line.
Bot, you have mentioned overheads before and I see that the UK must have more than its share. Did you see the announcement about the new Queen Anne? Not only do P & O and Cunard have their management structure but sitting above that is the Carnival UK President and his entourage, the 12 year-old looking Paul Ludlow. They were all on the jolly to Italy for the handover. No expense spared, eh!?
Do we know what the actual percentage of revenue goes on staff costs?
I reckon they might be able to save another $10m without much effort.
B
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. 😇
