Badger.

You might be able to get in IF the China stuff is not resolved in the next two weeks, or the shutdown continues, on the flip side we are getting close to the time it normally starts rising, so it's a flip of a coin.!

Unfortunately it is all sentiment.

Fundamentals are exceptional, Oil is down heavily, so all good news.

Bad news is that the US is overstretched, The US Fed is flying blind with no reporting, The Borrowing in the US continues to go up, Tariff Inflation has not fully embedded yet into the costs and Every Tech stock in the US is hugely over inflated.

Having a company making AI Chips that's now worth $4.5 Trillion when companies are working out the payback from using AI is low is going to blow the bubble in a big way. It may be a day, a week, a month, but realistically the US is going to Pop. The head of JP Morgan also stated the same.

BUT..

Carnival is a sound company now. People are "Entitled" to a vacation, and they are pushing the Land vs Cruise vacations heavily now and winning.

It's no longer an If Carnival goes up like two years ago, it's purely When.......

Unfortunately I'm getting quite good at this.!

Although from one perspective it doesn't make sense, as obviously now they are fully booked with more ships, the reality is that in 2021 there was the hype of Covid disappearing with the vaccine and the ships coming back full from day one.....

The reality was that it was a phased ramp up, and whilst that was happening, they had to borrow several more Billion ($6bn I believe) at 11% Interest costs...

The Debt mountain then cost a fortune to repay, which is why.

BUT.

We are higher than we were in 2021, at $24.40, how sitting at $26.06 as I type.
