US main indexes after hours took a massive hit, don't know why, probably anticipation of safe havens before the Fed meeting/minutes of PCE for Friday, but that's all I can find.

After Hours volumes are tiny, we need to wait until 1pm ish before volumes pick up.

After Hours it closed at $15.07

We closed at $14.895

That's 17.5c

12p

We closed at $14.895

The US closed at $15.01.!

Only $10 to go........until we get to the analyst expectations....

That's a 11.5c gain

8p gain like for like tomorrow.

CCL is 20th June

We closed at $14.895.

Interesting as currently the US is in reverse, even RCL and NCL, but not CCL.!

We are still holding at $14.86 despite NCL now dropping to -1%

Fingers crossed.!

Bhants.

No, I'm not happy with the price.!

We will see tomorrow at about 2pm UK Time.!

CWW

Probably.!

We were doing well, we got to $14.90 about 20 minutes before US closing, but we ended up at $14.80

So 2c up

1.5p ish

We closed at $14.78

Bhants.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy.!

I need to make up the moment, as if I was still invested.!

Risky. I know.! I sold the chunk, as I said to protect the holdings, but it looks like WW3 isn't happening, so jumped back in.

Bhants. The spikes are going to be purely momentum at the moment, Oil is down, Although FED aren't going to reduce Interest Rates, the reality is that US GDP is still good, and the job markets are strong, so everyone has money.

Also, Royal's results are Thursday.!

Betterlife. No quite 100,000, but getting there.!

I need to make up the 30p I lost out on.!!! LOL

Closed at $14.15.

After Hours it's $14.27

12c

9p UP in the morning, like for like

Just for the record, I jumped back in, suffice to say, I have a lot of shares, and luckily I also sold Mobico just before it lost 10% today, and put that money into CCL as well, and then also didn't buy back all of my IAG shares, and put that extra into CCL as well.

In theory, with no bombs now, all travel should fly, or "sail.!" away.

We closed at $14.15

Bhants.

It's impossible for me to sound like Betterlife.

I have underwear older than him.!

Because the sun is out, the sky is blue.......

oh, hold on, it's raining.........

maybe it's just raining in my heart

On an approx. like for like basis, Royal and CCL borrowed approx. the same as a % compared to their revenue/nett worth etc.

So obviously in pure cash terms CCL's borrowing was more than Royals.

However as the article says, Royal makes more money per share than CCL does, and that's because of the streamlined nature of Royal vs the massive Overhead in CCL.

Royal are pushing the boundaries of ship building, bigger is better, cram on more guests, cram in more add-ons, increase revenue, therefore increase the profit to share ratios even more.

There is one big thing however that is obvious, Royal on a like for like basis are paying down their debt quicker, and again this comes back to the fact that they are making money money per share.

Unfortunately I couldn't buy Royal, as neither of my providers offered it, but CCL, will eventually win the race in my eyes.

The Brand exposures are much bigger and the market share much broader. In the end, this will help CCL when things become Business as Usual. BUT, CCL has to streamline, which I've said many times.

Whether that is by combining brands, which obviously would cost a lot of money to implement initially as they would have to repaint the ships etc. as well as all the stuff on the ships, or streamline the financial reporting, and therefore the management structures by combining the brands purely from a paper perspective, either way, they have to get their earning per share up.

Royal Results Thursday

PCE Results Friday

American Airline Results Thursday

AParky.

Re SIPPs. No, it's currently just a coincidence.

Currently SIPP access is 55, but in 2028 that changes to 57.

Government Pensions however are currently 66, rising to 67, and then 68

NeverSell.

In the simplest of terms, it's simply added as a liability, however the purchase is utilising New Ship Purchase agreements, which, I would assume, mean that the Asset (ie the Ship) is offset against the Debt liability, and the Depreciation is then posted against the Accounts, along with the Interest payments on the Loan to account for both the "costs".

Then, obviously, those are offset by the new increased revenue.
