I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again.
Unless you need the money or are desperate to sell because there is a burning share that you absolutely have to buy, then just leave it alone.
I enjoy moaning and posting on here as this board is probably the only board that there is no abuse, but take all the theatre to one side, the reality is that shares go up and they go down, the big boys use AI to pump and dump, and us little people stare and watch, but eventually the company fundamentals take over.
Debt is being paid off, new ships are being ordered, the fleet and capacity is expanding, the price per seat is increasing, the margin is expanding and bottom line revenues are getting stronger and stronger.
There is a very good chance that once debt has been paid down enough that they do a share buy back as well to reverse some of the RI they did.
The £17 was always a stretch goal and a hope, but I firmly believe that CCL will be £20 by the end of 2024, £25 end of 2025 and £30 end of 2026. BUT.... Let's just say I'm dreaming, whatever the reality, this will be double within a few years.
You could sell, buy M&G, Natwest, Lloyds, Marks and Spencers etc. etc. but reality is that will any of them within the next few years double....
This will bounce up and down up and down, and if you time it right, then you can potentially make free shares...... time it wrong and you miss the spikes.....
Answer....... Ignore it, Post, Moan, Have Fun, But In My Opinion, Hold......
It's currently $17.62
and NCL are now up 7.29%..........unbelievable.........
CCL - Over 3% Down - NOW 0.79% UP
NCL - 1.6% UP - NOW 4.37% UP
RCCL - 0.7% UP - NOW 1.27% UP
NCL within One month, despite being on it's knee's has gone up 32% from 26th Feb.
CCL - Over 3% Down
NCL - 1.6% UP
RCCL - 0.7% UP
Maybe it's time for CCL to look at it's operational costs.
Over a $5bn revenue and still a loss per share....... That shows that the overheads of way way way too much.
Carnival, P&O, AIDA, Cunard, Costa, Holland America, Princess, Seabourn....
8 CEO's, 8 CFO's, 8 Senior Management teams, 8 Different offices, 8 of everything.
Plus. Carnival Corp overheads on top of that.

Yep. Unfortunately I was right. A 90p swing from top to bottom, £45,000.
Maybe today I should have followed my hunch.!
Fordy...
We miss you.!
Carnival Corp needs to streamline, how they can still be making a loss on those capacities and revenues is not good.
If they got rid of the multi multi management layers and company structures maybe they could actually breakeven.!
£12.30 to £12.71 to £12.25 within the space of 15 minutes, and then slowly moving back up again.
Incredible to watch the price flicker so quickly on the screen.!
In 33 minutes, 30 minutes after US opening is when we will see the true extent.
Sun.
and as I said, the bigger the jump up, the bigger the drop it would seem.
We jumped 2% in 2 minutes, and dropped 3% in two minutes straight afterwards.
The results are good, but not spectacular, which is a shame.
We are still making a loss, which is incredible to believe when we have 100%+ capacity.
I have just noticed something.
Shorts have gone from 12% to 11% to 9.79% within the last couple of weeks.
Johnny.
Just call me Baby Face.
Still not getting the warm fuzzy feeling about today, and the more we creep up, the more that Post US Opening line downwards will look.........
CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC TO HOLD CONFERENCE CALL ON FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
MIAMI, March 13, 2024 -- Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) has scheduled a conference call with analysts for Wednesday, March 27, 2024, at 10 a.m. (EDT); 2 p.m. (GMT) to discuss the company's first quarter financial results which are expected to be released that morning.
For some unknown reason, today is not going to be a good day..........
Prepare the blood banks........
It closed after hours at $17.23
That's a 23c Rise
16p Rise for us like for like
$17.14 now.
So 14c up or 10p..............!!!!!!!!!!!
Immediately after the US close
Well.
It's already dropped from $17 to $16.86, which is 14c / 10p drop for us in the morning.
Looks like we need a 40% day to make up to £17 now.......
I'm still hopeful LOL ............
A typical day in my eyes, they spiked the price, then dumped the shares, then drove it down to rebuy and there it stayed at around $17
All Cruise Lines are the same level currently.
Arguments will be the debt level again, Oil not hedged and Oil price is higher currently than Christmas, but they are ordering new ships because of excess demand and the new ships are LNG ships, which reduces the spikes of Oil.
They must have debt and borrowing as they have a huge fleet of 120+ ships, which is equivalent by the way to every other cruise line competitor added together...
Saga, MSC, NCL, Royal, Celebrity, Silverseas, etc. etc. etc.
The question that needs to be asked, all joking aside....... Will this be more or less than the current price in two years time, and my answer is easily yes it will, by a considerable amount........
After hours we closed at $17.32
7c
5p gain
Betterlife.
I'm holding them, not selling any.
Unfortunately, like many many companies, they say one thing, and people read those statements in certain ways, then the reality is always different.
Their offer of 24p is, honestly, an insult, but I am sure that LOAM and others have already agreed to it, like usual.
The lucky thing for me is that my avg is 12p, so although I do appreciate that mine would be a 100% return, it is fundamentally wrong, in my eyes, what has happened, what is being offered, and the current situation/s all holders are in.
But, that is just my opinion, so I'm holding.
Neversell.
Results Conference call is on Wednesday at 2pm UK Time, 10am EST.
We will either see a gigantic rise on Wednesday pre-market, or a gigantic drop..........
OR..... A Gigantic rise on opening, and then an immediate gigantic drop like June 2023.!
