It's funny how depending on which site you look at the expectations are different.

So Yahoo had 5.67bn and a loss of 0.02c

Oh well, so if we hit 5.7bn and a profit of 0.01c we should be good then.!

It's all going to be about future bookings and hitting the numbers for this qtr.

If occupancy is 101%+, future bookings are ++++, we hit the numbers, and we've paid down debt, it's only a matter of time.

Next qtr is the important one, which has an EPS estimate of $1.26 top estimate.

Revenue - $5.7bn

EPS - 0.01c

As long as we beat those, and debt has gone down, we will be good.

That's easy.

Friday 28th June.

YR £10.90

Aangus £11.85

CWWX £12.10

NSS £12.40

B £12.75

BB - £14.85

Last Closing Post for a few weeks.!

$15.01 >> $15.09 >> 8c >> 6.5p UP After our close.

Woohoo.

However. 8.56% Up for the week.

Next two weeks are the important weeks. This time last year next week, we were 12.56% up...... so let's see next week what happens.!

Good Luck all.

CWWX. Go out, put the same pants on, and don't come back for two weeks please.!

I'm sure your wife will be appreciative anyway.....

Bhants.

Unfortunately all trading is driven by AI's, it's not people anymore.

Of course you have the Individual traders like you and I, but the reality is that Blackrock for example would use AI Bots.

If you look at the trades, you can easily see the 10 shares buy, 10 shares sell, 1 share buy, 1 share sell etc. if you put through enough small trades it moves the price down or up.

This is how the big boys make their money, and why logic and fundamentals have nothing to do with Shares anymore.

Unless a company is outstanding, it will be played with.

RR was one of those. It used to jump 5% on no news, and tank 10% on good news.

Carnival, IAG, TUI, many/most travel companies at the moment are being manipulated by AI Buys/Sells.

Too late for today, but just look on Monday on the Share Trades tab on this site every few minutes. You don't need L2 level etc. and you can see it happening in front of your eyes.

Nobody buys 1 share.!

AI's pushing it down

$16,84 >> $16.60 >> 24c >>> 18p ish

CWWX went out didn't he.!

And TUI down 2.5%, IAG down over 1% and pre-market is flat.

and I'm still holding.

If I sold, it would go up.

and as you are replying to me, that means you haven't gone out silly, and I've told you before, go out, don't come back until we tell you. :-)

CWWX

Because it's hovering.......and because I'm still holding.

I'm not selling, but just for the record, this is going to dive.

Obviously I can't sell, as I only ever do that when it goes skywards.

Neversell.

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, unfortunately...

The issue with Carnival is the structure.

Imagine, each brand as a company, you have a CEO, a CFO, a board, a finance department, a sales department etc. etc. and all are separated.

All these Brands, AIDA, Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises Australia, P&O Cruises UK and Seabourn.

The issue is that is Brand has a different target market dependent on where they are in the world.

AIDA is heavy Europe, German etc. Costa is heavy Italian, Holland America is heavy Nearly Dead, Carnival is Heavy Over Fed, Heavy Party, In the US is a huge pull for the African-American population, Huge drinking brand. Cunard is the "badge of honour" brand, the titantic brand, the brand that made cruises possible, P&O is "British".

Now multiple all of those brands by all of the overheads in every company, and then you will also then have cross brand overheads as well, because you need the overarching structure of the main corporation, and now you can see problem.!

P&O Oz, I'm hoping, is the first step towards a whole new Carnival Corporation world.

On Royal, you can book Celebrity, you get credit cross brand, and many of the overhead cross are cross brand.

This is another reason why Royal's SP is so so so so so much higher than CCL's.

We closed at $15.28

Which is 2c drop, 1.5p

B***tards

As you are young, but want a nice steady type of rise instead of waiting it out, I would strongly suggest funds rather than shares.

A great fund for me as been the below. It's given a steady rise, and annualised it has risen 22% every year for the last 5 years.

https://www.fidelity.co.uk/factsheet-data/factsheet/LU1033663649-fid-funds-global-tech-fd-w-acc-gbp/performance

It's a marketing ploy unfortunately.

5 of the ten ships are purely re-use/re-deploy/re-flagged ships.

Having a ship from Costa to Carnival makes no difference to the fleet overall, if anything, it's an extra cost as they need to re-paint/brand the ship from Costa to Carnival, which are both part of the CCL fleet.

There are 5 new ships in 7 years for the Carnival Brand.

Never.

Summer 2025.

If you had owned RR in 2020/2021/2022 you would have seen exactly the same.

10% swing days were not unheard of with RR back then. They went from 32p to £1.61 back to 65p bounced around £1, jumped to £1.20, then £1.50, then £1.80 and didn't stop.

The only danger with RR is that they are forward view that is a lot higher than it has ever been. That is on the theory of the new narrow body deployments, plus AUKUS, plus SMR's plus plus plus. All that's needed is for one to falter and there will be a correction.

Nobody believed that it could continue to go up, like it has done. It has been incredible and sickening to watch at the same time.

Carnival will, eventually, calm down like RR has, but that won't be until 2025/2026 probably.

If only I could buy at the bottom and sell at the top just once.!! LOL

We closed at $15.30 US Currently $15.33

3c, 2.5p ish

US hugely up today across the indexes, which is unusual, as when they are up that much, usually Carnival tags along. Obviously yesterday was our day.!

Betterlife.

Glad you are happy with where you are.

Follow the advice of the Cat, and you will do well on RR.

JTT predicted £7 by Feb 2025 all the way back in 2021.
