I have known for a long time that this is a roller coaster share. Having been lucky enough to buy in at £6 a share I feel the time is approaching to sell my original stake and keep the 'free' shares. This will be at least the 10th time i have bought and sold on a bounce over many years. When I bought at £6 my target was £11.65. I expect it to get there very soon. I know from past experience there will be more bounces. Just hope it dosnt peak at this stage as has happened many times in the past! |Has anyone else got a target price?

Having watched this share for many years 4 and made over £25,000 on Bounces I am back having bought in at 600p and sitting on a £4000 gain. Question is when to sell or if to hold. I think it has a little way to go yet and have put a sell on it at 1165p. The Ukraine war seems to be the biggest threat in the near future. My gut feeling is to sell soon rather than later, bank the gain and wait for the next drop which WILL come. I dont think we will see 600 again unless there is a major disaster.

Thank you very much for that, I read the post. I would like to know how much was paid out to me over the last 10 years in other payments and dividends, if anyone could make a rough guess.

I have just looked at my investment for the first time in years due to long term illness. I have always been a big fan of Standard life and had invested £40,000 in their shares between 10 and 20 years ago. I was surprised to see they are now worth only £17,000, what has happened? Have I lost £23,000 or have I missed something, what has happened to Standard Life?

Yes

You who are considering investing in this share need to be aware it is being played by bigger players than us. Despite all the facts and figures it will continue to react to good and bad news as it has done as long as I can remember. I last bought into this share at 839p and sold at 1200p for a nice 40% profit. I am sitting on gains of £20K having played along with the bounces since the beginning of the first lockdown. Some I have missed by a very small margin. I am now looking at buying at 950p and looking at a bigger bounce to around 1500p. I am gambling on another bounce or 2 before the new year when I will use all gains to buy in for the long run home to £20/£25. I played this same game in the 1990's but missed out by pennies on the final surge from the 900p's to over 3000p.

Talking Sense said: "This time around I think you are being very optimistic"
I said I would sell at 980p after buying last month at 839p. My sell instruction fortunately had just expired so I was able to sell today at 1200p instead for a nice 40% profit. If you check my previous comments I have been right most of the time!
Is there another bounce coming? I think so once reality sets inand will predict 900/950p soon. Watch this space!

Fill your boots!

Yes bought at 839, well within 5% of the current low. Put a sell on at 980p this time. I think there will be many more bounces this year. Not being too greedy or too optimistic now. Picking up a £3000 profit each time is quite nice. Just hope I dont miss out on the big rise like I did 20 years ago!

BernietheBiker said "Have to say im smelling a rat here" Re my comment: " I think it will dip below my planned next buy price of 880p so adjusted to 850p. which is 10p more than my last bounce buy price a couple of weeks back"! ( posted 14th October). Also on the 15th Otober I said "Still in to buy at 850p before the next upturn" (Previous sell price was 1095.2p)

Well i missed the last low of 876p having predicted 870p days before which I reduced to 850p taking into account the latest news! The price will keep bouncing till there is some positive news so will keep my buy instruction at 850p. There does seem to be some support below 900, no doubt many of the big players are playing the same game.

Still in to buy at 850p before the next upturn. Previous sell price was actually 1095.2. I had predicted 1100 but put a limit sell on at 1095 with Barclays. Im no genius just very lucky with this share as did the same thing with it 20 years ago when it was bouncing around the same price and I made big mistake of selling too soon at 1000p (ish) before it started to soar. I may call it a day this time and hold for the long haul but it is hard to resist a few k profit. It all helps offset my £180,000 loss on paper on the rest of my shares!

I think it will dip below my planned next buy price of 880p so adjusted to 850p. which is 10p more than my last bounce buy price a couple of weeks back!

The price on the day actually showed as spiking to 1100.6p. it showed on here at 1100 as the days high. I sold at 1095p as I had to adjust last minute as i thought id missed it!

Having predicted the last few bounces within 5% and getting the peak of last weeks right at 1100 I am now looking at buying back at 880p! Watch this space

Having predicted the last few BOUNCE prices to within 5% and the last one at 1100 spot on im wondering how long my luck will last!. Im sticking with my last predicted buying price of 870p. Watch this space!

I was spot on with my assumption yesterday..... "Expecting this to hit 1100 this week. Having bought last month at 840p the problem is do I sell on this bounce for the seventh time or hold for the long term?? The history of this share tells me there will be more bounces, so will go for the sell and hope to buy back sub 900 maybe 870" Nice profit of £4000! Now looking for the next low!

Forget Research with this share none of it really matters. Carnival with lots of bad and then flashes of good news news out there will continue to Bounce. Having lost £150,000 (on paper) on shares over the last year im far from being an expert. However it has been fun picking up a 5 figure profit as this share bounces along. I still expect two or three more bounces between 20 and 50% before it finally recovers to maybe half of what it once was. Like I have said previously I bought on the last big bounce at 842p using all my gains and looking to sell at 1100p (in the next few days, hopefully)! Its a plan and it has worked several times now for me. I have played with this share for over 20 years when I first saw it behaving the same in the 1990's when it was a similar price.

I have read all the posts on here, so much research and sensible assessments of the current situation! However none of it really matters. Shares like Carnival with lots of bad news and good news out there will continue to Bounce. Having lost £150,000 (on paper) on shares over the last year it has been nice picking up a 5 figure profit as this shares bounces. I still expect a few more before it finally recovers to maybe half of what it once was. Having bought on the last big bounce at 842p using all my gains im still looking at 1100p to sell.
