9%, over £1 in two days.

Quite impressive really.

Can't wait for this to happen the opposite direction.

Good news is that I was reading the wrong week from a year ago, it dropped 2.5% this week a year ago, we've dropped nearly 4% currently.

BUT. Next week, we gained, 16%, so we will see.!

The Algo bots have wiped over 0.5 Trn Dollars off of the US Stock Market apparently.

This is what is called a Sell Off.

Currently we will drop about another 20p in the morning to match the continued drop since our close.

Of course, the usual thing after a massive sell off like this is a massive buy, so we shall see.!

Dow down 1.62%, S&P down 1%, Nas down 0.82% despite Nvidia's $200bn gain today.

Betterlife.

Sell all your shares, go to Vegas, and bet on Black or Red.

That's a quick way of doubling your money..... or not........

Good luck with the future.

End 2025 - £25 is where I believe we will be.....

or should I say, hope we will be.

or should I say, pray we will be...

or even beg

End of 2024 - £20

CWWX.

Have to admit, even I'm shocked by todays turn around.

70p + loss from yesterday is a slight over done reaction, even for Carnival.

Sun.

can happily meet in the casino for one, no issues with that.

Will sort out logistics etc. closer to the time.

CCL has approx. 5 x times the amount of shares than RCL does, but RCL's Earning per share is 30 x time that of CCL's

In essence, Royal makes SIX TIMES MORE per share than what CCL does.

I was reading one analysts view a few days ago about Royal, and their view is that Royal will be $1,000 a share within the next 5 years.

CCL need to step their game up, otherwise Royal will become the worlds largest cruise line and take the title.

In theory, CCL should be able to wipe the floor with everyone because of their sheer size....... but alas, that is not the case.

You are doing it the way a lot of people do it, but there are several issues, eventually assuming you don't lose on zero is that you will end up with free play that you in essence have to put on either red or black. You might win, or you might not.

I changed the method completely, and it's done in one spin in essence.

I only have $750 of free play, but I go to the cashier to get $750 of free play chips, in $5 chips.

I then put 4 x $5 chips ($20) on each number. $20 x 37 numbers (on the single zero table) = $740.

I then put the extra $10 left over on 32

The ball spins, I'm guaranteed to win, as I've covered every number on the board.

I get $700 in cash chips.

I then have 4 x $5 free play chips to play with, which I put on 26, 29, 32 and let it spin.

I'm in and out in 5 minutes, with $700 actual money

If, for example, you had $250 of free play, you would buy $120 of extra chips. Total $370.

Put $10 on every number, spin, win $350, cash out.

In essence you are $230 up converting the free play to real cash.

Was on Anthem for the two nights, unfortunately all the old casino dealers have gone, several new people on there, not a lot of humour going on in the casino, but maybe that's because it was the two nights cruise.

Anyway, there's the trick. Now all my cruise group do it, as previously they would be happy with a 50% return from freeplay via the slots....

Also, immediately upon changing to real money, you then start earning casino points.

Unsure how much you gamble, and how much you know the Royal casino program.

Want a huge tanking everywhere

Just shows you want fundamentals means nowadays in any company.

The Algo's drive the market now, guess right, and you could easily get free shares within a week with these type of jumps and dips.

US Jobs too strong, which means Fed doesn't need to do anything to help the economy, which means no rate drops this year potentially now in the US

Nowadays, most credit cards throw in travel insurance for free.

It's typical americans, who have no health insurance and then moan after the fact that they have to pay for thousand of medical costs.

Insurance is not mandatory on RCL, it's the same as Gratuities.

The cruise line will add the Tips onto your stateroom every day, but you can go and get them removed by going to Guest Services.

I always get the Tips removed, as I always hand by room person money, and always tip in the buffet / restaurants as I go.

When I'm in the washrooms, and a cleaning guy comes in, I always give them a few dollars.

The tips flow down, on RCL, via a set pay out, and a large portion of those tips goes to the Head Waiter, Wine Waiter, Waiter and Asst Waiter in the dining room.

As I never eat in the dining room it has always bugged me.

So my $300 tips over a 2 week period goes to $200 for the room person, and usually about $200 for cleaning / buffet staff.

I always tip more in the end than the gratuities I've removed.

The only problem is that a small portion of those standard tips do go to the back-office cleaning people, eg. The people who wash the towels/bed sheets etc. which obviously you never see.

But the market wanted it to be 2.0%.!

So everything is tanked...

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rose by 2.3% in the 12 months to April 2024, down from 3.2% in the 12 months to March.

After Hours it closed at $14.69

That is a 0.23c rise

or.....................18p.!!!!!!!!!

Very Interesting observation.

Currently, CCL is UP and CUK shares are down.........

So, although they do move like for like, it's not exactly like for like.....

CCL is up 0.16% currently, CUK is down 0.38%........

Very Interesting.!

We closed at $14.46, it's currently $14.57 CUK Pricing

11c, 9p.!

Wait for the drop..........or the gain.....

In theory, if tomorrow's UK ONS Inflation Data shows close to 2%, or 2%, or even lower, the piund will drop, and the UK CCL(CUK) pricing will rise as the exchange rate will get worse for the pound.

I've got $750 of free play, that I will go into the casino, immediately change into cash, and leave.

No gambling on this cruise, as wifey with me and she hasn't come on a cruise for a year, so will be making sure that she see's the shows etc. etc.

Seriously recommend We Will Rock You. Just as good as the West End version.

I've seen it on Anthem, 36 times now.!

You probably won't miss me on the ship, I'm the 6 ft 3, bald, wide guy who looks like shrek apparently.!

We will arrange a meet up closer to the time.

I'm on Anthem, on 12th July, from Southampton, going to Norway, with the boss...!!!

You're on a Royal Caribbean cruise.?

In July?

From Southampton?

OMG Sun. 13 posts on EasyJet.

It's not that exciting.!

............

Bhants. Ironically, I was asleep.!

Been waking up at 4.30am most days.

I've got Tinnitus in my right ear, and after 12+ months it's finally starting to pee me off.

CUK Pricing

We closed at $14.54 CUK USD$, which was £11.41, which is 1.27/1 exchange rate

Currently it's $14.66 CUK pricing, which is £11.52
