...and ii say it may be in $!

You really don't understand Marxism - about the same understanding that Trump has calling the Democrats "Communist"!

The issue for AA4 is that Emirates are possibly the only realistic buyer... so hold the upper

Wish I had had 200k to offload, but AA4 is still my 2nd largest holding (after RR.)

The government is more secure than anything else. Hence gilts which have less risk than any other investment.

No defender of Reeves (please stop with the childish stuff), but the UK was in a pretty dire place before she took over, in large part due to something that happening in 2016. She's finally identified the problem, but refuses to do anything about it; that's the issue I have withe her and Labour

Yes because we did something about the ozone layer. Surprised you haven’t mentioned Y2K

“Opinions” and “views” on climate change are not facts. We are heating up the planet - to deny that is to deny the evidence of your own eyes and ears - only question is how much and how quickly.

Not sure that this is tax year related...

Tariffs are on goods, not services.

Ok, only invested £4k and I still have a paper loss of a bit over half of that, but I took decision to stick it out....got about £1k back so far..

Still the fault of that guy in Investors Chronicle...

The same Matthew Lynn that thinks that even worse than the UK going broke is that we are turning in to France

A good half of the Telegraph columnists are just bonkers

Companies only pay taxes on profits. Are Carnival making any profit? Surely any surplus money is all going to reduce debt?

Now about 62p buy so marginal... Probably buy enough to keep £ value holding the same...

It'd be nice if the 2p/share quarterly could now be 2.33p/share., but the company will have less money, so maybe not...

Cheap energy... and sod the planet?

right.

Trump is a fool - but he can afford to be at his age

I'm kind of tempted to cash in my entire £90k ISA and just buy AA4...

But instead just bought another £1k...

My OH is a vet of 30 years experience, after a 6 year degree and with a number of further qualifications

She is on £75k - and is lucky to be in probably one of the best paying veterinary practices. She would be on at least double that if she'd gone for human rather than animal medicine

B0ll0cks she is paid too much, though to be fair vets are one of the few businesses to benefit from Brexit - many EU vets went home and it's difficult to employ EU vets

The risks aren't that much greater than for any airline stock, though I guess being small and relying on just two customers is an additional risk.

JOG could still come good - am at the point where, as I can afford not to sell, I will keep the stock. Unless they actually go out of business there still could be significant upside from here. ST reiterated JOG not that long ago...

Bought a few more AA4 today - got to use that free monthly ii trade on something - shame it can't be on their free regular investment list

Only found this through an IC tip (and it's proved a lot better than their repeated JOG tips!!)

Thought it was mostly for the (then 18%) yield, but there's capital gain too, 18% so far

If only I'd put the money I put in to JOG in to AA4...

Must be one of the most volatile stocks, which is a bit daft considering the size of the company, or maybe it is because of the size of the company

A fortune could be made just timing CCL stock trades well

And just before the dividend date they will cost more than they do now. The price should increase slowly towards 1290p before the dividend is paid

The offer price of 1315p (including special dividend) is 4.12% up on today's buying price. I assume that the 6.5% estimate is an annualised rate assuming a March completion. End of March completion would be more like 5.5% annulaised.

The risk is that the deal takes longer so you get lower than a 5.5%/6.5% annualised rate

Oh come on. You know the issue with CO2, yet come up with the "without it there'd be no life on earth" nonsense. Of course that is correct, but that's not the point. You are no doubt denying that there's man made climate change; the only question is how much

And "wokism" is dangerous to modern society? what has that got to do with NS oil and gas. You do realise that being woke means generally not being an ass?

...will be tempted to buy, but I've done that before, usually on IC tip...

Must be at oversold stage, surely... yes there's a risk of downside I guess all the way down to zero, but the potential upside multiple multiplied by chance of that upside is very significant... Could be a 5-1 gamble with 50/50 chance of it coming off? I think I'm in now, hoping for that...
