Sun.

When you sell at a loss, and then re-buy, it resets the clock, so then when it goes up, it looks like you are making loads of money.

I lose money everywhere and then sell, and it looks really good when I buy back in and it goes up :-)

Well.

We are still within the range, and still marching onwards.

With the added TUI Cruise update, and the NCL update, and the fact that hopefully wednesday the UK Inflation report brings a big drop, and potential for an Interest Rate drop, which in turn will mean the pound falling, so the USD/GBP Exchange rate will be 1.18/1 potentially, that will also increase the UK CUK price as well.

In theory, our range by results could be anywhere between £14 and £18.50 depending on which way you want to calculate the increases.

We will see.!

Neversell.

Just looking at this time last year, which is when we started to go up prior to the results in June, when we dropped 15% and then gained 40%

If History repeats itself, we will be approx £11.20 by the end of the week.

£10.63

Just been on the two night party cruise from Southampton on Royal.

As per usual, awesome cruise.

Bhants. Maybe Noah was married to Joan of Arc.!!!! :-)

Betterlife, again, if you look short-term, then you can always look back/forward and see better stocks, but your example of Building companies.

Barratts for example, has gained 10% in 6 months, and lost 1% in a year vs Carnival, which has gone up 12.75% in 6 months, and 49% in a year.

If only I had bought this then, and if only I had bought that then is one of the most common statements that people who invest have. if only, if only, if only.

Then, people look back over 5 years and say, wow I had that stock, if only I had kept it.

For the fifty-first time. Buy shares, leave them alone, and forget about them. You are probably the youngest investor on here.

I wish I had bought Apple when they came out, but knew that Microsoft would end up putting them out of business, because who would want to use a non-windows device.......

I wish I had bought Tesla before covid, but as soon as covid hit and the Democrats got it, Tesla soared 1,500%.

If only I had bought some Bitcoin when 100 bitcoin were being swapped for a pizza.!

I could go on.!.... But I won't.!

So, assuming, like for like, with no rational behind it, if we now align to last year, we should, slowly, now go up, maybe 2 to 3% this week.

UK Closed $13.39 vs US After hours $13.35

4c @ 1.25.!

3p.! drop for us

The reason why Bhants has issues with Stockperks is because when he went to the school they had flint chisels and rock tablets.

Bhants is so old that he was the one who taught Noah how to build the Ark.

Sorry Bhants. :-)

CUK.! Closed at $13.39 (right at the top of the day.!)

Hold on.

My brain has finally worked.

I've got it.!

We all know that the UK doesn't have the voting rights, and therefore trades at a discount.......

It's CUK in the US, not CCL.........

If you look at CUK in the US, it's $13.15 vs CCL's $14.40.

The CUK is like for like with the UK GBP SP, which an exchange rate of 1.25 as well.

So this is what everyone should be looking at, not the CCL price in the US.

Link attached....

The problem is going to be when / if the US $ loses ground to the GBP£, because as the exchange rate goes from 1.25 to 1.30 to 1.35 obviously the USD CUK price will go up, but out GBP£ value won't .

Anyway.!

Interesting how it's $14.40, which is 30c more than our close yesterday, which should be 21p up, but we are only 12.50p up.

Damn.

I covered the down, I covered the up, I forgot about the "nothing standstill zone"

Whatever happens, I'm now covered.! :-)

Bhants.

Glad you had fun at the Opera.

Unfortunately I haven't been for many many years, and honestly didn't "get it" when I went 20+ years ago, I'm sure that I would nowadays though, but the boss still wouldn't.! so will probably never go.

Just got my 6.5% (13.2p) Dividend from M&G. That was a lovely surprise that I completely forgot about.

I just re-looked again, every single one of my funds has outstripped all of my share purchases.

It really does show you that diversification really does pay off in the end, and takes all the emotion out of share dealing. They just slowly plod by, making 0.1%, 0.05% per day, sometimes losing 0.1% or 0.05% per day as well.

The Group Funds, I have to say, are so secure it's actually incredible to watch them. One of the Group Funds is invested in over 50 funds, which has more than 2,000 shares.

Just putting it out there, as nothing exciting is happening in the world of CCL today, like most days.!

We closed at $14.10, the US Closed at $14.30

20c Gain

14p Gain for us tomorrow.

So Bhants.

Just so I get this right.

You're moaning about StockPerks because you're trying to log that you have shares now for a cruise in over a years time.!

and of course, you could have sold the shares before the cut off date....hence why they won't let you log them. LOL

Is one allowed to get an alcohol drink package and the other person only a soda package.?

I helped a few people with that on Royal, and managed to get "around" the rules there.

I know why they insist on the two people, because obviously you get two glasses of wine, 10 minutes apart, and drip feed the other persons wine glass.
