Betterlife.

He's going to tweak Corporation tax, so I'm hoping that will help not hinder.

As long as he sticks within the OBR rules, the markets should accept whatever.

The only good news is that if it's really bad usually CCL isn't impacted by the UK too much, as 95%+ trades are from the US.

Of course, yesterday, I lost a ridiculous amount due to........... who knows.!.........and it would be good for a few days of slow slow growing again.!

Finished overnight at $14.13

so 13c

9p drop

We closed at $14.26.

It's currently $14.18

So a 6c drop.

approx. 4.5p drop in the morning, like for like.

I just got a quote to sell at £10.08, and then looked back immediately at google and it says £9.87

LOL.

and in between me typing 40p, it's now re-dropped to 50p......

LOL.

Bhants.

I would say I'm getting good at this game, but I haven;t acted on one single on of my calls.

I could see this drop coming from a mile away, I could have saved myself a 50p per share drop........but I just watched the needle going straight down.

Luckily, at this second in time, it's come back to only 40p drop.......

I'm going to look on all of this as a positive.

The big boys want "bargains" so they have to tank to SP.

As Inflation has dropped off, and all travel is still booming despite the negative vibes out there, I'm hoping this is all because the big boys want in now prior to the Dec results..............!!!!!!!

Well.

IAG are having a meltdown, despite the CFO saying that they will re-introduce Dividends soonish once the Balance Sheet is better, and the CEO saying that the demand is still extremely strong.........

All positives, so the SP tanks by over 4%.......go figure.......

CCL could well follow as sentiment has turned on a dim, and seems to be all negative re travel again......

I think the word is unbelievable..........!!!!!!!!!

Spoke to soon.!

Now they are nearly all in Red.!

It's the only one of my big holding that's in red.!

All my other travel is green.

Today might turn once the Fed minutes are released when the US opens, but that's not until 2pm EST, so 7pm UK Time.....so I guess we will see.!

It looks like it's going to be a rocky day to me.

Bhants.

You have 17 chances between now and the end of next year.!

Obviously I'm keeping British Airways in business.!

Not Royal, because they were all free.! (apart from the recent casino losses of course.!)

Bhants.

A bit too late to post now.!!

but I did actually believe it would be flat ish, and it is, so I'm doing well with my what's it doing today thoughts....

Oil has spiked up Friday and today, which is holding the travel sector at bay again. It's jumped from $77 to $82.5 so we need to wait and see whats what.....

Wednesday will be big day hopefully, an the market will hopefully like the autumn budget.

Also, sometimes the travel industry posts % growth due to thanksgiving, so maybe, just maybe, we might have a double bounce.

Thursday will be flat as US closed.

Ken.

Thanks.

I was, wasn't I.!

It's a shame I can't predict the drop and the rise daily.!

I would be a gazillionaire by now!!

Bhants

I don't got for nearly two weeks.!

I was just away for the weekend, setting off at 6am Friday morning, hence bed early Thursday night.!

Although US not closed, its very close......

UK Closed at $14.56. Currently the US is at $14.77. That is a HUGE 21c rise, on a bad day for all other travel, and a flat day for the main markets in the US.

21c = 15p rise in the morning, like for like.

Fear Factor is now very very nearly moved to Greed. 54/100, which means market has more sentiment now...

Oil is down to $77.57 per barrel, which hopefully will continue to drop, which in turn will drive down in inflation, in turn meaning the sentiment says that people have money and can afford cruises........although they can anyway.!

Overall, an excellent day for us......let it continue.

Good night.!

Currently, the date is 20th December 2023, although not confirmed as yet.

So hopefully an awesome Christmas present...

Unfortunately that would only leave 1 1/2 days of trading, as the results will come out UK afternoon on the Wednesday 20th, full day Thursday 21st, and then the UK will close lunchtime on 22nd , before the US opens.

Well. We managed to hold........... to me that is a huge win, especially as other travel stocks dropped.

Although Oil prices do not have a direct link, there is a sentiment link, and with that going down as well, all we now need is another "feel good factor" push....

Bhants.

Yep.

Volumes very very low.

Only 29,000 pre market in the US.

All travel stocks seemed to have stopped moving upwards, so the ride is over with for the moment.

We need Oil to drop.

CCL results to be market beating.

and Inflation to fall again next month.

Then, we get another serious bounce.

We closed at $14.58. The US Closed at $14.57.

After hours it has dropped to $14.52.

So 6c, or 4.5p ish drop like for like on opening.

All depends now whether there is still "everyone has money" momentum still.!

We will see in the morning.!

Banks will jump when they announce Interest rate drops.

All travel is bouncing high. Obviously because Inflation is down everyone magically has more money to travel apparently.

We will just ride the train for as long as it lets us.

Between buying, selling, selling, buying, buying, selling, I'm so confused as to what my actual avg is now for all my shares, all I can do is look at the bottom line number and say, do I have more or less money than previous...!

If the train continues with travel stocks, it might be worth jumping on for a bit and then re-buying Natwest, but obviously that a different risk, and I appreciate not something I would be doing at your age.! :-)
