Red, 0.5%.

Then after hours US gains, we open Green in the morning.

That's quite incredible even for Carnival.

At 2.29pm (8.29am EST), the futures were still bright green.........

Just shows you.!

I was away for a couple of days.!

obviously didn't miss much.!

Bhants. Did you miss me :-)

Lloyd.

I have tried to play the day trading game and lost, but what I don't get is why you would even try to play it.

Som you buy at say £9 and sell as £10.35, so you declare victory because you made 15%.

Then you sit there with cash, and the price drops to £10 and you buy and sell at £11.00, so declare victory again and get another 10%.

Then it drops to £10.50, but then shoots up to £13.50, and you are still sitting there with cash wondering when to buy in.

If you would have just left it in, you would have ended up much better off, and unfortunately with all the bad news out of the way, no more covid, Ukraine war into 18 months, inflation dropping (although slowly), you might be able to buy into a downward day and maybe if you are lucky sell for some profit, but I'm guessing that the major swings have gone.

I'm sure that lots of people were thinking that this was going back to £10 and waiting, and now potentially have missed out.

Buy in, stay put, Carnival will give you a 50% gain within the next 9-12 months from this price is my belief. You can't get that from a savings account.!

Give it 3-5 years and all travel stocks will have gone up at least 100% from todays prices. In Carnivals case, it will probably be 150% to £30 within 3-5 years (probably more like 3).

Whatever you do, good luck.!

Lloyd.

Good guess, but that unfortunately would not account for a US main index stock, which is only dual listed in the UK because of the take-over of Cunard and P&O as the secondary listing, to tank approx. 50c.

The GBP/USD exchange rate would account for the variance in close prices and the subsequent change from $1.4333/£1 now being $1.46/£1 exchange rate variance.

The UK Carnival is a sub listing of the US carnival. In the US you can actually buy either the $ version, or the GBP version. Then, you can also buy the the GBP version on the FTSE as well

I was looking at the pre-market at 2.29pm, and it was at $18.52

At 2.30pm, it dropped down to $18.08

At 2.31pm it was down to $18.04

Unfortunately the pre-market obviously is getting manipulated as well.

With a 22p re-gain within 10 minutes.

You really cant make this stuff up.!

I don't think the Stock Market police actually check the stocks, as "Manipulation" was outlawed several years ago.... of course, they just call it "trading".

If only you could have a crystal ball.!

A nearly 40p drop within 10 minutes for then it to start slowly climbing back up.

Nearly 3% in 3 minutes.

I think that's a record.!

With inflation dropping, booking at record highs, and core inflation also dropping, limit of base rate being set potentially lower, and this is still being held back.

They must be working overtime with the bots to hold this back today.

This is why the market will be up today.

May not help Carnival, as we are driven by the US, but anyone holding other UK travel co's will / should have a good day.!

8.7% down to 7.9% is a massive drop in inflation numbers.

We closed at $18.16. Overnight it gained to $18.30

14c rise overnight.

@1.46/1........that's a 9.5p rise this morning, assuming like for like.

Bhants.

Not bad.

Currently, I'm 63.5% with the ones I've got left.

Of course, I did sell a chunk at £13.44, which for that chunk I was 77% up.

Since selling the chunk, I'm 1.4% up on Jet2, and minus 2.1% on IAG.

Ah ha.!

Then, as if by magic, we are now $1.46/£1 vs last week we were $1.433/£1

So we closed at $18.16, which was £12.44

Either way, I will take the 3%+ day to the bank.!

Well after watching it fall back, I think the answer is, "sort of".....at least it didn't jump up and then nosedive.!

A 2% + day is just fine with me.

Today, as I've now finished watching my Medici on Netflix, I've actually been sitting watching the market.

Carnival which had a constant exchange rate variance between the US and UK of 1.433 all of a sudden doesn't.

It's been consistent, even to this morning, but as soon as the US market opened, it's now different....

At $18.48, which would be a 90c gain, we were only 54p up, but should have been 62.8p up.....

Somethings changed today.!

Moneymaker

welcome onboard.!

now this board is mostly full of people who respect other people, so hopefully you will continue to get good insights into the share.

of course, todays price is always a great buying opportunity for something that within 5 years will treble, but that's a different story for another day. :-)

Fordy.

Apologies.!

it is another ford.! but it's fordm not fordy.!

Fordy.

I see you are jumping up and down on IAG BB as well.

Don't bother posting there, as there is too much emotion.

Fordy.

unfortunately you are only looking at LSE.

The shorts are mainly in the US.
