Well, per usual, I timed that well at 1060.!

So with the selling 60k shares, and then re-buying, with the sale price, then fact that the spread kills you on a bulk sale, the fees, the new fees to buy, the stamp duty to re-buy again, I am now the proud owner of.....

wait for it.....

200 extra shares........LOL

They didn't miss their forecast, they missed what the analysts predicted..... BUT.... Earning Per Share was more, so they actually made more money than what the analysts predicted, by 36.5% actually....... so the drop per usual, is unwarranted.

AND, the price for CCL and NCL are hugely discounted because apparently they aren't getting the revenue and profits, despite the fact that they are producing record breaking revenue and profits like CCL.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH) Q1 CY2024 Highlights:

Revenue: $2.19 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.24 billion (2% miss)

EPS (non-GAAP): $0.16 vs analyst estimates of $0.12 (36.5% beat)

EPS (non-GAAP) Guidance for Q2 CY2024 is $0.32 at the midpoint, roughly in line with what analysts were expecting

Gross Margin (GAAP): 36.7%, up from 29.7% in the same quarter last year

Free Cash Flow of $548.3 million is up from -$388.7 million in the previous quarter

Passenger Cruise Days: 6.11 million

Market Capitalization: $8.12 billion

I got back in at 1060, so lets see.!

Betterlife.

For you, IGNORE IT FFS

You have AT LEAST 15 years before you need it.

By then, it will be £50 a share probably.

Sun.

and this is why, I have said many many times, I don't day trade.!

I am literally the worst day trader ever. LOL

Funniest thing every today.

US red, all travel red, concerns on interest rates building up, therefore CCL is going to drop like a stone.

So, at £10.74, I dumped 60,000 shares....... because then, I could buy back in when it hot £10.40 and I would have caught back up.......

and what happens......

Everything else stays red, but oh no, CCL recovers and turns green.

You really can't make this stuff up.

I'm unsure of the support levels, but £10.80 really is hanging in there.!

Bhants.

Have no idea of the drop, no logic again.

Royal results were yesterday and they were, again, record breaking, to the point that they re-increased their full year EPS as well. Royal, in the US, are 2% up...... CCL are 1% down.......

Bhants.

This is why Natwest has jumped today

Bhants. Re me being happy.!

I missed 30p, or basically £20k, so I need the price now to be £14 so I'm happy :-)

Bhants.

OMG

Haven't looked at Natwest for a while...... That's incredible

I sold at the end of Jan for £2.16, and it's now £3.07, that's a 45% rise in 3 months, awesome.

I have to say, I have no idea, but the rate it's gone up you would think it's got to go down a bit.!

But Monday is payment date, not Ex-Divi date, so Monday, you get another 11p, which is damn close to 50% in 3 months.

AWESOME......

So On Wednesday, we closed at $14.895, which was £10.86..... That's 1.372/1

Overnight last night the US closed at $15.20, so it would seem that we have missed out on two jumps, from Thursday morning and now this morning.

In theory, using the same exchange rate, we should be at £11.07........

Oil dramatically up, sentiment is up as well though, we may get a nice wave.

Decided to not buy more CCL but jumped back into TUI, as it's a lot lower than where I sold it.

Happy Friday everyone.!

The US after hours is currently $15.18

14c gain

10p

We closed at $15.04.

With the US in a massive sell off, and bright red, it's incredible how CCL has stayed level.

Well done Carnival.........for a change........a nice change.!

WOW.

Today would have been the perfect day for me to have got the 30p back if I could have timed it right.

At the top (excluding the spike) was 1112, and it's now 1082......30p.!

If I could have timed it on the spike, it would have been 50p.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.! LOL

Looks like everyone is moving money to "safe havens" again due to the PCE report due tomorrow.!

Dow, S&P and NAS bright Red.

One of the best ones I have heard is that Royal were considering charging for the Pizza.!

Suffice to say, there was a huge uproar and the idea was shelved.

Royal charge $149 for the "sun lounger" on the upper deck, which is next door to the normal sun loungers.

It's a bit like the "over the water" cabanas on Cococay, their private Island. They are between $1500 and $2500.....the classic is that they are always sold out.

Ken.

I get at least 4 emails a day from Royal

I get App messages selling onboard packages at least once a day

They all want all ships totally full all the time to maximise the capacities and everyone needs to buy the extra packages.

Royal went up and then dropped $4, i.e. 3%

Interesting.!

Very Interesting.!

Yep.!

Strong Pop Up.
