Good. Take the profit whilst you can, a plus is always a plus.

I see RR has sunk quite a bit recently, down to 446 now, can't remember what you got into RR at.

.

Ken.

Hurricane Season is now June to November.

Unsure if you've been on a ship when it's on the edge of a hurricane, but with the technology of today, they simply just avoid them and go around them. If it's too wide, they turn back.

I had the privilege of being on a ship when the captain decided to head into one, suffice to say, we lost.!

It's interesting how they really are keeping the travel stocks down.

I spent an hour or so this morning looking across Carnival, IAG, EasyJet, TUI etc. and it's quite incredible how they have dampened the SP across the whole industry for this long.

Obviously everyone is carrying debt, but IAG for example is now turning a massive profit but the SP is held at where it was a year ago, like Carnival is.

This does seriously remind me of RR, and how it was held back and back and back and then it spiked and didn't look back.

I guess we will have to wait and see when the spike will be, but with the turmoil out there in the political world with the UK, France and then the US elections, who knows what's going to happen.

The logical safe bet would be to take the money and stick it in the bank and get 5%, but I'm eyeing the £1m gain when all this bounces.

So we closed at $16.24. The US Closed at $16.29

It did shoot up to $16.44, but obviously the algo's and big boys want this and all cruise stocks down again, so we tumbled back to $16.29 for the close.

5c, 4p gain since our close, which basically means oh no.! for the morning.!

Cruise stocks lead S&P 500 losers, are set to snap long win streaks

By Tomi Kilgore

Shares of cruise operators were deep in the red, as they pared the sharp surges seen a week ago despite signs that demand and pricing remain strong.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.'s stock was dropping 6.3% to make it the S&P 500's biggest loser on the day, after surging 8.7% last week. The stock was also set to snap a nine-session win streak, which was the longest such streak since the nine-day stretch that ended Dec. 7. 2023.

Carnival Corp.'s stock slid 5.6%, enough to make it the S&P 500's second-worst performer, and to also put it on track to snap a nine-day win streak. The selloff comes after it had soared 16.5% last week, to post the best weekly performance since the stock ran up 19.2% during the week ended June 30, 2023.

Elsewhere, shares of Royal Caribbean Group dropped 2.5% after rallying 5.5% last week. And shares of Viking Holdings Ltd. gave up 2.8% after climbing 7.6% last week, which was the best weekly performance since the stock went public on May 1.

The selloffs come even after J.P. Morgan said in a recent note to clients that there have been "zero signs" of a softening of demand, with signs pointing to continued pricing power.

Yep.

Betterlife.

As the input has already stated, £35 isn't happening.

At best, £20 - Dec 2024, £25 - Dec 2025.

Dec 2026, assuming debt back to managing levels, assuming nothing happens between now and then, assuming the ships are still full, including all the new ones, then maybe, just maybe, £35 - Dec 2026.

And all of those numbers have 1,001 caveats associated with them.

if we get a type of covid, whether the ships are effected or not, the market will tank the cruise lines.

Wars, the markets will tank the cruise lines.

Hez shooting at Cyprus/Greece, the markets will tank the cruise lines.

China and Taiwan, the whole market will self implode and potentially WW3.

Russia and Estonia, WW3

So if we have a following wind, if we continue to pay down debt, if the ships are full, if everyone continues to buy the add-ons, if the new ships are full, then, and only then, will we, maybe, hit the numbers I've quoted.

Divest in Funds.! My Technology Fund - 30% this year, My Global Fund - 27% this year, M&G - 8% this year plus two dividends about 9%, so 17% total ish. My Group Funds, 11% / 12% / 10%.

.

FYI.

A 5.67% drop is actually a 7% drop in equivalent from the rise for the month, rather than 24% rise for the month, we are now only at 17%.

Phew. That made me feel better LOL

So Friday night and over the weekend, the same rubbish came out about people not having money, and the spending is short lived.

" The rebound in consumer-discretionary stocks is more indicative of sector performance than the well-being of U.S. households, analyst says"

So again, it's all the cruise stocks are over-valued because nobody has any money, and all the cruise ships are going to be empty, and nobody is going to buy the add-ons etc. etc. etc.

It's exactly the same statements from 18 months ago, 12 months ago, 6 months ago........

Listen Analysts.......... Listen Carefully......... Everyone is "entitled" to a vacation now, nobody will delay something until next year because there might be another covid lockdown (in the consumers minds), so everyone will go on vacation, immaterial to reality.

Stop FCKING with the SP......... LOL.........

This could well be a delayed tree shake, the same as last year, when they tanked it by 11% on the day of the results, only for it to jump 30% afterwards......

It could be that the price of oil going up is raising eyebrows again.

It could be that we haven't heard the news that maybe Hez has attacked Greece or Cyprus.

or..... It could just be Carnival doing what Carnival does best, gives people smiles and then cries.

Badgerlips.

Perfect timing.

You can buy back in now for 50p less a share.!

50p drop in 15 minutes.

Quite incredible.!

So what reason......... None.!

OJay.

Unfortunately cannot stay.!

As I'm back home from 19th to 2nd August and then back on Anthem from 2nd August.!

So you literally are on the cruise between my two.!

Welcome to the worst board in the stock market.

We have Bhants, who never leave the SP in his hands, it goes down when he's caretaking it.

We have CWWX who a dark horse.

We have Betterlife who's basically just out of nappies and trying to gain enough money to retire by the time he's 30

We have Beejay, who's got to be a great guy because his number is 32.

We have NSS who cheats on putting a price board together and then tells someone else they've won.... and i'm still crying about it.

Then we have Sun, who pops in and pops out with his 101 share trades.

Finally, we have TOPO who's the grumpy one.

and then there's me, I'm obviously the extremely good looking, charming, and most sophisticated of them all.

Oh ok.

£15.15

I'm not playing with you lot, it's unfair, so unfair..........

Https://uk.yahoo.com/news/summer-covid-flirt-variant-case-numbers-125857217.html

That's it.

I'm not playing with you guys, I wanted the trophy......... humbug........

But Bhants.

I think we should have made a rule that if it went higher than your bid you lost.

I want the trophy, I want it.... but it's mine......but Bhants, it's mine Bhants.......
