Young.

Yes, NCL Up over 10%.

They are actually up 50% in two months.!

Royal have smashed through the $190 mark.....

I wanted to buy them at $18 but my broker said that I couldn't buy them through them............ I discovered a couple of months ago I could have........

I had two "game changing" shares on my list. RR and Royal......... I sold my main holding of RR to buy IAG just before the IAG results and then I was going to re-sell and re-buy RR, unfortunately the day after I sold RR released the big RNS which made them jump 20%+ and they never came back down again........and Royal apparently I couldn't buy, but I could.!

TOPO.

I posted something on the Genedrive board this morning as everyone was getting excited per usual because it's gone up 15%, despite it dropping 50% in the last month or so.

The next thing I knew both my accounts were blocked.!

I emailed LSE, and was told I was naughty as I had two account and was breaking the rules.

I explained that the reason I had two accounts was because despite all my efforts this account wouldn't work on my phone....

So, magically the reset the account and now it works on both.!

I think they tracked my IP address down...!!!

Last.

No, that's the Uncrossing Trade, which is the balancing of the trades at the end of the day.

meaningless for us mere mortals.

CWWX

I knew it was you.!

We closed at $18.45 CUK

CCL, which is the $25-$28 analyst target pricing is at $20.40 now..... which is only 20% away from the lower end of target, and the target/s are a year out projection.........

This has smashed through the previous highs.

We need to remember the GBP/USD exchange rate is 7c worse than what it was last time.

We would be at £14.50+ now if the exchange rate was the same.

Every day there is "calm" Oil will drop, and hopefully we will ride the waves.

This is only ever any good to trade if you either have somewhere else to put the money that then might go up, or you just hold with cash......... Either one could catch you out.

The are several examples where people traded and got caught out. All that is needed is one big burst and it never comes back down to where you sold.

People who sold at £12.30/£12.40 etc. have missed out currently on £1.40.

"trading" is only every any good with small amounts to fund day to day living.

If you try and trade large amounts not only do you lose 15p+ on the spread of sell + buy, but then the stamp duty charge as well, so basically a 25p ish spread loss......... You need to be very lucky to buy/sell and get it right.

This morning this was dropping. It was going to go down. US was red, Oil was red, Israel was heightened and loads of cruises are going to be effected by the hurricane/storms........ and then what happened....... it jumped 6%...!!!

I got blocked today.!

LSE shut my accounts.!

I must have upset someone.!

LOL

.

The reason why Royal's SP is by far bigger than Carnival's is because Royal is thinking 10 years out.

They are spitting out new super ships yearly.

Icon was launched this year, Icon 2 (Star of the Seas) is next year, Icon 3 is 2026. They have just launched Utopia which is another Oasis class on 3 and 4 night cruises. It's packed every cruise.

The Profit margins for Royal are 8 to 10 times more than on Carnival.

We don't need less ships, we need twice as many, and they all need to be doing 3 and 4 night cruises.

We need Mega ships, Less Brands, Better Supply Chain Negotiators, Less Presidents and Marketing, Less Separate Departments and of..... even more ships again.........

People have worked out, especially in America, that going on a cruise is cheaper than going to a land holiday, so every cruise is packed........ We need more and more and more........

I would like this to be £50 in 4 years please.......

Wrong

800%

then i can sell this pile of c.r.a.p.

Only another 400% to go

1863.

There are three things in life that are guaranteed.

Death, Taxes, and that I will never be eloquent...!!!

UK Closed at $17.06 >> US Closed at $17.19

13c / $1.3148 = 10p rounded increase for the morning.

Historically, previous highs, I believe we were at $1.23 ish, so with the 0.5c added, let's say $1.235

$17.19 / 1.235 would equal £13.91........ Which would have been the highest for 2+ years.

$17.06 / £12.975 = $1.3148 / £1.

The Actual Exchange rate is $1.3085 / £1

I Just can't work out why there is a difference of over 0.5c, it's actually 0.63c to be exact.!

We closed at $17.06.

Yesterday the US was bright Red, Oil was up over 3% and we climbed 40p+

So, today, US is bright Green, Oil is down 2%........what's going to happen today..!!!!!

US took a dive after our close.

We closed at $16.69. US Closed at $16.40 >> 29c >> 22p ish drop for the morning.

Quiet day on the board.!

This morning I was sure that this was going to drop.........but........it didn't.!!!

We closed at $16.69 CUK

$16.08 / £12.29 = 1.30838

US Closing Price $16.35 / 1.30838 = £12.49 1/2

or a 20.5p increase from our close

So assuming no Oil field destruction, no additional tit for tat and no planes or ships destroyed over the weekend, maybe, we might up 20.5p up.

Good weekend all.

In the lowest, simplest terms I can think of....

The Block Listing in essence creates new shares, the Block Listing return allocates the shares.

A Block Listing is mainly used for Employee Share Schemes.

What would usually happen, and is happening with Carnival, IAG, RR etc. is that the Company basically creates x amount of shares, and just holds them in a treasury, so they exist, they are already in the total amount of shares in issue, they are just not "owned" by anyone.

Then the Block Listing Return in essence "gives" those shares to the employee scheme, whether director bonuses, maybe Employee purchase schemes etc.

BUT. As the Shares are already in issue anyway, they do not dilute the SP.

I hope that makes sense.
