The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Sorry, 12R, I think I knew that - but only after I pressed “Post”. 😝
That’s a bit harsh, Sun? The SP is up 30p on the day. But it did drift a bit towards close here, so you’re probably right about some profit-taking.

Who knows? Certainly not the pundits/share tipsters!
Something off piste now. Anyone any thoughts about the idea of giving blocks of NatWest shares to secondary schools to help them learn about financial shenanigans, sorry, investing. Seems like a good one to me?
B
Indeed they have, JD. Just have to wait until next week. I think I shall listen to the webcast, this time. Trouble is, it’s a couple of hours I won’t get back but there might just be something worth hearing.
B
Morning Topo. I think that is the root of the problem here. We know what the facts are but the MM’s can’t let those get in the way of their making money.
Carnival’s attitude to the share price doesn’t help either. When all is said and done, we actually own the business, don’t we?
B
An afterthought BJ - if you write to the President of P & O, Paul wotsisname, as we did after our first cruise after the pandemic, you might get some FCC.
I got a phone call from an “executive correspondence” lady who discussed our comments at some length and, without prompting, offered a more than reasonable discount off our cruise which we are on in July.
I felt impressed enough to say that if things had improved, I would write and say so!
We’ll see!
B
Thanks JD - glad someone knows where to look and what to look for.
Bot will be back in a week or so and charged me, on pain of something or other, to get the price to £17. I had no time to protest as he flew off to the Caribbean for a cruise on RCL ( always with them, he has some special rank and privileges) never incests with them, except in the casino and only has shares in CCL.
Can I hire you as my defence barrister, please?
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Topo,
Make sure Samson is still holding up the pillars! If he isn’t, he’s probably gone back to that lion he did for to get some more honey…..
I see that all the gains from Wednesday are dribbling away.
B
Morning RB5. I agree with K. They are ships, though, not boats. You can put a boat on a ship but not vice versa.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see/hear on 27th how much the current and future developments in the ME and elsewhere impact, if at all, their target of investment grade status in 2026. I know K is looking forward to that because it should mean dividends start up again.
B
PS we enjoyed a week on Iona, much to our surprise as we had always been on the smaller ships previously.
