LOL

$17.71 >>> $16.96 >>> 75c drop >>> 58p drop since our close

We closed at $17.71 .......

It's currently $17.51.......!!!!!!!!

Also.

Just remembered...

Don't forget, the US rungs out of money on Friday this week.!

So it could well be shut down.!

Adam.

Good on ya.

Well done on hopefully buying your first home, congratulations and well done in advance.

Funds, that have their investments spread is where you should stash your money for the now, if you have any left over after the house purchase.!

I was 50% risk and 50% safe......

Now I'm 70% safe, 30% risk....

Bhants.

Yes, the debt is fixed, but, if Inflation goes up, and the Fed raises Interest rates, the avg American will be paying more for their debt.

The US Personal debt has just hit $5trn......

If Inflation pops, as well as sentiment, as well as core goods costs, as well as an all out trade war, along with potentially additional taxes on cruise lines in the US, he could well tank Carnival and all cruise lines to the point of 2022 Covid levels...

All normal people are thinking logically........... but if I would have said 5 weeks ago that this was going from £20.60 to £13.70 in 5 weeks everyone would have laughed......

Who knows when this will stop..... It's the core of the American economy, and 70% of Carnival's revenue is American....

and ALOT of their money comes from the Core Carnival Brand, not P&O or Cunard....... and the core brand is low income people.......

Prepare for the worse, and hope for the best.!

1. He has clearly said that there will be "short term pain".... short-term could be a year...

2. He has clearly said that if there is a recession, then so be it

3. He has said that he may increase the tariff's to 50%

Those are just the top three off my head from this weekend.

The fundamentals of Carnival was good, and it was getting a lot better....

But, if the US people are squeezed with money, and Interest Rates do go up so Carnival has to pay more for stuff, the EPS will drop, and we will definitely be £10 or less.

The Stock Market is all about the long term, but that could well be for the next 3 years 10 months whilst Trump is in office, and then there's no guarantee he will step down, despite the Constitution mandating it.

He could have JD Vance run as President, him as VP, and then Vance steps down so he can become President again.....

Unfortunately I have 4k shares in a dealing Account, bought at £5.50, so I can't sell them anyway without taking another 24% hit with tax, so I might as well just leave those.......

Even if this does bounce, it could reverse on a dim the next day........

Royal has lost 25%, might be worth jumping ship instead.!

Nobody will have any money, the cruise lines will have reduced revenue and dramatical increased costs, earning per share will be negative.

Inflation will be increasing, Interest Rates will have to go up to counter Inflation, All cost of goods will go up.

When I sold my 55k shares between £14 and £15, I was kicking myself so much........ now at least my funds are even....

Unfortunately my 25k shares I still own is looking very sorry for themselves now......

Everyone keeps thinking that this is a covid, or purely a blip....... reality is that Trump could easily go on for a year, cause a recession, actually make it that nobody has any money, and tank America.

He has clearly said that if a recession is what it takes, then so be it.

Yesterday he said he may increase the Tariff's, whilst flying on Airforce One.

Basically, all logic is now off the table. This isn't a recovery, this is a fight for your life.......

$19.70 >> $19.03 >> 67c drop >> 52p drop for us in the morning.........

We did have someone....

Boris.........

Bung a Bob for a Big Bang Bong

Does anyone have any funds that invest in bonds?

or does anyone actually invest in Gilts?

BHants.

From 30th January we have dropped £5.50

All sentiment across all travel stocks, as travel stocks are linked to people having money, and with rising prices and job cuts the sentiment is that people will have reduced money, so it's dropped........ and dropped and dropped and dropped....

We need to increase 36% to get back to where we were when the King of the World came into Power.

His Pals are making an absolute fortune, but the normal everyday person, is losing their ars*s on all travel stocks......but Carnival is taking a bigger hit because it's heavy American Passenger base.

As I have said.... The issue is not that he wants to put America first, We should put Britain first as well....

It's also not that he think that Europe should spend more on defence..... I agree, we should absolutely hold our own.

It's the fact that he wrecks lives and the people that will be effected and the normal people.

I travel to the US ALOT...... and unfortunately all of my cruise buddies are hardened Trump supporters.... not Republicans.... I mean Trump.........Anything bad against him is a which hunt, or fake news, anything he says has to be the truth supporters.

Rant over........

ps. I've told my cruise buddies that Politics are off-limits on my cruise in 15 days time.!

Bhants

The answer is very Easy.

Trump..........

We closed at $19.90 >> US Closed at $20.35 >> 45c Up >> 35p Up

Unfortunately there is another Trump effect for us with Carnival and that is the Exchange rate.

Since Monday this week we have lost 3c, which equates to 33p Loss in our pricing with the exchange rate differences.

We closed at $19.90

Now China is ready for "Any type of War", let's see how he deals with someone his own size.!

Drill Babe Drill.....

So Down Babe Down.......

50p up to breakeven for the day.

Badger.

Everything is proportional.

£1 to one person is £10 to another is £100 to another is £1000 to another.

Am hoping that we have calm seas and can see an uplift soon, but obviously I'm not holding my breathe.!

Of course he's playing the market, and he probably spoke to his Blackrock pals, and obviously his son who has a huge hedge fund to dump the market so they could buy more cheaper.

The problem is not his Theatre...... I get the Theatre, I went to the same Theatre school as he did....... It's the fact that normal every day Americans will pay, which eventually will result is a crash.... That's when he will blame Biden.

"He has inherited the worst economic crisis ever in American history"........ obviously he hasn't read American history....

But.... Hardened Republicans will not waver. He can say that everyone has to eat sh*t, and they would....

It's a knife edge.... One wrong move and it all comes crashing down.........

On the flip side, yep, the markets may well skyrocket......

We closed at $19.59

We need a 33% rise to get us back to where we were 5 weeks ago.

The next issue is that because Canada has put into place Tariff's and so has China, and Mexico from Sunday, Trump will then put in additional tariff's..... and then he will put Tariff's on the EU.

I'm still holding, fck knows why I am, but I am...... but I can actually see this being £12 again........

Then Russia pushes harder into Ukraine and uses bigger bombs, and before we know it, we will be back to below £10....

All because ...............
