Bhants.

There aren't scales that go up high enough to hold the weight of my bank balance. :-)

Bhants.

Two things that hasn't risen.

My Wife's height, and my bank balance........

Yep.

That is exactly what is happening.

Luckily, sticking to one brand increases your benefits to the point you don't actually pay extra, but I love the tea bag charge story. As I drink a ridiculous amount of tea a day, that would infuriate me.

We closed at $13.73. It's currently $13.57

We missed this weeks gain, like for like with last year.

Next week, we probably need 8% ish.

The interesting week is going to be the week after next, which last year was a stonker of a week with a huge gain, so we will see again what happens.!

US having a slight meltdown as US Inflation stayed the same, some analysts recon Inflation will stay until 2027 before it drops to the 2%

BUT, Viking, again, is up 4% today. which is 21% in a week since the shares hit the stock market after the IPO.

It's up 50% from IPO pricing of $21

Good weekend all.

I've set myself a goal of £13 ish for CCL.

Then, will sell down to a logical persons holding, spread the rest, and then stop looking.

Bhants.

Yes, and the response is obviously positive again.

Cannot believe how it keeps going up.!

It could be another RR and never stop.!

Awesome hold from you

Badgerlips.

No, apologies, old threads and old conversations.

Just 100% pure speculation.

IF Carnival did do a like for like with last year, it would need a 5% gain today.

If you are new to Carnival, the best bit of advice we all could give you is, do not expect anything, do not think this will go in a straight line, expect the unexpected, and only think about 2026. Anything between now and then is a plus.

CUK Numbers

We closed at $13.72. Unfortunately it carried on all the way up to $13.92, and then dropped back to $13.75 where it closed.

So 3c, or 2.5p

We need a 5% day tomorrow to keep the hope alive for a like for like to last year.

So Global Warming is caused by Pollution........ ok, got it.

But Cleaner ships, which emit less pollution is causing the oceans to heat up because there is less smog over the oceans caused by the pollution......... right, ok, got it.

So if we all stopped using electricity, gas, coal, cars, planes, ships etc. etc. and all lived in caves.......then, I'm guessing then the world would over heat...??...

ok, don't really get it.

"In 2019 (last div) they had 10b of debt. Current debt is 28.5b and debt was reduced by 4.6b in the last year. (according to a quick, possibly inaccurate search).

So 4 years to get back to 10b, but that doesn't mean they won't pay one out sooner."

That is approx correct.

BUT.

For some of last year we were not at max capacity, and until recently, we had some debt at 11% interest rates, now it's 5%.

You would expect now with max+ capacity, increased charges per person, and low Interest rate charges, that we SHOULD..... in theory, be able to ramp up debt reduction even more.

If they are not early 20's by the end of the year, something is wrong for my two cents.

Plus, next year, you would then expect Interest Rates for the Fed to be lower, to which they should then be able to refinance again, and again lower the rates of Interest again, and with more ships at max+ capacity, should, again in theory, be able to ramp up repayments even more.

I would expect 15bn max by the end of 2025.

CUK Numbers.

We closed at $13.54. After Hours, the US Closed at $13.68

14c, 11p

Still two more days.!

We are now back to even for the week, so let's see.!

Looks like the $12m profit drop was overdone, so hopefully this should help as we're sailing again from Baltimore.

Sun.

I know Mario very well, and he knows me. As I'm the No1. Masters Pinnacle (Internal Joke between me and him)

I'm nearly Double Pinnacle (not that there is a status called that anyway).

Again, we can work out logistics closer, but you welcome to my spare Wifi.

I need two, but I have three, as I'm Masters in the Casino (which is 2 wifi's) and Pinnacle, (which is 1 wifi)

Bhants.

Well done with Natwest, extremely well held.

A 42% rise since the start of the year, plus over a 5% dividend. Awesome.

Sun.

I Still believe £20 this year. It is a stretch, but I'm still a believer.

>>>>>>>>>>>

Also, don't know what status you are on Royal, or what type of room you are staying in, but I'm happy to give you one of my Wifi's..... and yes, for free......!!!!!!

Sun.

I was corrected by iWHF.

Like for like, last year, it was 7.89% THIS week, then next week is 5.84%.

Not saying that history will repeat itself, but if it does, then these are the like for like %'s increases.

Let's see what Tuesday to Friday brings.

Have a good extended weekend all.

IWHF.

You absolutely right.

fat fingers.

7.89% next week, then the following week is 5.84%

Purely google.

I don't have, know, or care about charts, unless it's the top ten and the golden oldies have made a return, not the wiggy wiggy wiggy music of today.

Just for the record, I'm not saying it is going to do those increases, all I'm saying is that IF History repeats itself, it will.

This share has a mind of it's own, does not follow the norm, does not follow sentiment, and definitely does not follow fundamentals

Yes it was.!

So I have a sea of red today, apart from..... my funds.!

The lowest return of my funds in the last 9 months has been 12%, the highest is 28%.

Why the hell am I messing around with individual shares is beyond me.
