Our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with QuotedData's Edward Marten has just been released. Listen here.
Here is the price of bulker fuel - remember if traveling around africa, you use more fuel, so the price in Asia or Europe were it is actually put in fuel tanks is higher,, note usa prices lower as conditions are normal for pricing

CCL tanked......It is the price of oil in relation to bulker fuel
(remember there are lots of pensioners buying this low selling high, after going high, it has not gone down enough for pensioners to re-buy again)
RCL Green. They have a brand new ship just built and every country in the world has TV programs on this ship
I trust you all noticed TNX futures 10 years is up for the last 4 days going back to 4%, where no doubt it will settle,, but its bull run is now ended,, and so the dow and other indexes are 4 days of being lower,, notice VIX has not moved much yet
Oil is still low
biggest problenm the world faces is a full blown suez crisis,,, us brits are talking about boats going there, but so far it is USA shooting people
Lets hope it goes back down to the £6 - £8 region,, I am greedy and want to buy back my super profitable position sold at the super high. I really want them back on the cheap,,, might even go on a cruise with the profits
Do not over extend yourself on trainline
One of my companies has 20 train ticket websites in progress www.trainticket.org www.trainticket.uk www.trainticket.ca www.trainticket.fr www.trainticket.es .be .it etc etc
The competition for train tickets is more intense than any reader can expect, and is in every major language
Brilliant company that does brilliant things + they invented the concepts that A1 aids -problem is farmers know how to take a profit and this they are doing
have invested many times here pre covid... good money earner
see futures of live cattle and live hogs,, all up,, live cattle have stayed for 1 year now (i notice grain frices are going lower so feed prices are coming down - generally)
one problem is they guarantee female cattle,, but live cattle prices are exceptionally high and so having a male cattle for slaughter is profitable at a time when farm chemicals are 400% higher
I see this as a company to buy in and out 3 or 4 times a year
Your looking for a 100% return is a no go,, you might get £5.00 at Chritmas, which is 10% , and that will be it for the year, that means as in all ressesions you are the man with no spare money
'Been there learnt from that in 1999 recession',, you will learn from this. And follow the oil price more + interest rates , realising oil up menas travel companies are screwed.
Will admit i an trading interest rates going to 7% and much more, using carnival cruise company shares to go up, (pensioners and rich people buy cruises with interest earned)
Your problem is that younger people mid market people use TUi and they are hit with mortgage intereset rates going from 1/4% to 6%. I will admit i am awaiting a marella cruise at £799 for 14 days to iceland ,, so tui via marella is used by older persons
mid september is the sell point traditionally for travel companies, search this out using 20 years charts, you might be able to take a put option and use the profit from this to cover your loss, the days are quite exact when they turn
The 30% owned by a Russian are earning no dividend as he cannot access the money... if brought with a loan at some point he has to sell as no income for him is coming in
Someone find an article to state he is using his money not borrowed money ,, until then as far as I can see ,, he has to sell to a westerner at some point,, and thisb is 30% of the company
There was good coverage of a new brand in a brand from this company on front page of www.cnn.com yesterday, it might still be there today ,, was expecting shares to turn today,, so far nothing,, could do with some good news to turn the shares
Yesterday I was in the post office,, 2 ladies had return packages for this company,,, so returns are still always there.
Have been waiting all summer for this company to turn upwards - it did not do so - so only Chritmas to look forward to now
Followed and brought Delta in the USA and they had a 30% good run,, but UK airlines were crap
Am guessing that France not allowing airplanes to fly internally, so people have to travel by train internally in france,, this must be the impact being a bad share price for us......... notice oil is back up so at some point the airlines have to do the opposite to oil, as oil goes up airlines go down,, GoldmanSacks has this week said oil will be over $100 this winter, so again this is not good for all airline stocks
Will look again at Chritmas time as a christmas to easter share
Christmas is coming, my goose needs some fat
As we all know this is a buy at end of summer and sell at Christmas stock,,, so do what all others do and take the 10% to 20% between now and Christmas, after Christmas sell these, and buy holiday company shares.
The average person here is not here to work but to take an easy ride on something sure. Remember you get 6% in many building societies now and 5% in all the other savings organisation = no need for risk
This post was for SVT,,, but reading it again they still need 1 of 2 fools to come in and buy 10%
When interest rates go up following America this month, lots of pensioners gain income to spend on Carnival cruises
I am looking at 7% + for USA and UK to follow,, one sure interest rate rise, per month
I see USA mortgage rates are 8% now, so 7% main rate is easy (follow the 10 year yeild daily)
UK rates for business have been 11%-12% for 1 year now, and they still blame gas and electric price rises for failure, so business can go up to 14% 15% as in the past, (what happens at these rates is no one borrows, if you do not borrow you do not suffer from high rates,,, easy to sell a bit of real estate and not borrow
What we need is a fool from Saudia Arabia to come in and buy up 10% like that fool from Oman a few years ago
With all the fines about to hit that spinning thingy, some call it a fan. From all the excrement they put into the rivers. Haveing someone buy 10% a rights issue to pay the future fines will be spread out easier to people with deep pockets and will pay up without even reading the rights prospectus
I guess the truth of the matter with gas fuel being still 500% + for businesses this winter, the Omani's will need to put there profits somwhere other than back home in Oman, so they could buy another 10% and sit pretty knowing every glass a person in the midlands drinks they make 20% not 10%
For weeks before hand the shares would fall by 80% + and then the government would payout at the then market rates being considerably lower
So, Government would give you the market rates at the time

I buy Low -Have brought 1/2 the amount I want to buy - Other 1/2 is for another day
I buy low and to me this is low, so am in
Does anyone know if as a share holder I can have a share holders discount
I get one at carnival,,SO DO I GET ONE ON HERE
Someone update me on the 30% owned by the Russian family please,,,
lets have a discussion on this subject
last I heard his wife had stake put in her name,, not sure if this is true or not
Available lower berth days ("ALBD") for the second quarter of 2022 were 16.7 million, which represents 74% of total fleet capacity, increasing from 60% in the first quarter of 2022.
=74% of total fleet capacity not used = would you go and happily sleep at this time of covid in a cabin with out a window
I am one sitting on the sidelines awaiting to bung 5 years money into carnival, so I get discounts on the cruises. So do not think my view is biased,,,,,,,,when I buy I want it to go to £18
