We booked for 2027 as we’ve run out of P&O stuff from Southampton so going to Denmark and Norway. We got the plus package and we wouldn’t bother with P&O, so it worked out a bit more expensive overall I think but not a great deal

Anyone see that Poop Cruise on Netflix about the Carnival ship? Any idea what it did to the share price?

It's well worth a watch, especially the people talking on it. I'd have thought after more than a decade and no real harm was done; including a refund, compensation and a free cruise, you'd be able to laugh about the incident. Instead the people talking are how I imagine I'd speak if all my family had been murdered in front of me.

Can't see there is anything wrong, if you look at the trades yesterday and then today, its trading fairly flat. What seems to be wrong is that it thinks it closed at 361 yesterday when it didn't really. Anyone remember 88e? I recall we had a bit of an issue as it was listed in UK, US and Aus. What seemed to happen was we had a good day, the yanks bid it up and then the Aussies took the profit.

Wolfie - I have 100 shares in my SIPP just for that purpose. They were up 50% at one point then went all the way down, I have a fair few when I thought they'd hit rock bottom and then some more twice when I also thought they'd hit rock bottom. This bundle is on 30% up.

Well I've broken my P&O loyalty and booked a week on Star Princess, so another $100 to add to the OBC perk. Not sure what we will spend as gone for a plus package, it was a little more than P&O to go to the fjords, but this will be my third fjords in August and then Ventura Solar Eclipse next summer (I'm not a hardened cruiser). I thought overall with the internet and included drinks for us, it'll work out about £800 more than doing the a fjord cruise with P&O, seems a little more at pushing you to a package though (always PAYG on P&O)

Great to see a decent result though here, I imagine I'll cash in my non-perk holding at some point, probably when it'll pay for a decent cruise for the family.

Can't decide if owning oil shares and CCL are good or bad, one rises and one falls meaning overall I never have a great day.

Be a shame if we lose P&O OBC benefits, must be thousands who own shares for this reason alone.

Some of you are being unfair to MF, they have correctly predicted that if you’d bought some time ago you’d have doubled your money. There will also be another article later this week saying the opposite.

Followed by another “I was right about GGP, now I’ll probably be right about Consolidated Slave Holdings”

Was looking at the summer 2027 cruises, I quite fancy visiting Gibraltar. Not quite decided how I'm paying for the 2025 or 2026 cruises yet though

People in the FI seemed amused by the 41%, bemused by the 82% and possibly just pleased to make the list without having any alternative name in brackets after Falkland Islands.

I can’t imagine there is a trade imbalance but possibly it’s because they are hard to trade with.

All my oil shares took a hammering today, usually my riskier shares take a double hit on the bigs, so actually not that bad. Might top up a few

I dunno, I think 12p might be a bit hard. Can't speak for anyone else but the reason my shares are about 40% up today is because I took a punt and doubled my shareholding when they were 6.1p, this was in December. If you bought at the right time (and not initially at 24p like me and averaged down a lot over the years) you'd be sitting on a 100% gain right now. Might be some tempted to sell. Personally I think this might have some way to go yet.

I think you've got to have your own report done, I can't really see any other solution. You can't really say, "oh, we've read someone else's report" and like what it says.

Good to see a decent rise here, but a little surprised as it's not really new news.

Think it's released before it opens in America, might be wrong though

Botbot - yes the USA/UK exchange rate has always played on my mind with USA stocks. I don't tend to bother, more than happy with my Carnival stake at these prices tbh.

Bought a few more at 13.93 this morning, very small average down. But nice rise this afternoon! I just think the cruise sector is going to do well, ships seem well subscribed into the future. I thought about adding some Norwegian or Caribbean to the mix but remembered my rule when I sold all my Tesco shares. Why would you invest in something when you don't use them yourself.

Selling in the hope you can buy back never works well IMO, especially when it feels like the improvement in the share price is backed by something. I've certainly sold when shares have had a decent improvement but never with the intention I could buy back in the very next day.

My share price average 8.49p, but I've certainly bought shares in the 6p range (it's how I've managed to average down from 22p), a big chunk from December. Maybe some people who did similar are simply happy to sell with a decent profit for 3 months of doing not a lot.

Such trading can work OK in the exploration stages, when it is RNS like "ooh we've dug a hole, looks shiny" and then drops again when the initial excitement goes away. Not really seeing that here anymore, I'd expect it to steadily rise (with a few blips) for a while now.

If you sell hoping you're gonna buy back in at 8p next week, I think that boat has sailed. I don't really see what would drive it down again, it's the main reason I remain a holder.

Anyone worked out their shareholding and divided it by the 10.2m oz of gold? Not sure if my maths is right for 10,000 shares

10.2m / 13.08bn shares x 10,000 shares = 7.79oz of gold

I'm sitting on 20% up at the moment, I took a bit of a risk (at the time) to double my holding in cash terms when they were 6.1p. First shares were bought at 22p on the way down and I've had various goes at averaging down thinking we'd hit the bottom. But I always thought at the bottom that it was actually quite a good investment at that point. I don't really think you invest in something like this hoping to make 20%, I've been invested for 4 years and 6 days.

I can't really see that

1. It is being manipulated

2. Why you'd want to

3. That it is realistically possible

All I could really think you could do is if you bought the shares at 6p or something and had a vast amount of them, you could decide you're happy to sell for 50% profit and are selling them and keeping it in the range. If the share price rose to 10p, I don't see how the seller would be devastated. For anything else, I'd query what the point was.

People on these AIM shares I'm invested in, there always seem to be a vocal clique that think some conspiracy is at play to stop you getting the value you think you deserve. It seems to be based on the theory that stocks will keep going up for ever.

Well currently if you'd done so you'd already be 0.05p down on the deal based on the current price of 9.15. Personally I wouldn't, I'm about 8% up currently on my holding, this has included a lot of averaging down. I've been holding shares for about four years and I don't consider that a decent return on my investment. I'm also fairly optimistic about the future and I can't always say that, often I've not thought about selling because I'm 40% down.

The share doesn't seem to have great movement recently that would make this sell now and buy back in later a sure fire winner, it's not unusual for the share to jump 10% in a day and you could well have missed the boat to buy back in.

Fine I suppose if you're happy to take whatever profit you've currently got and be satisfied with that. But it hardly seems worth the risk for a potential 5% upside.

I'm almost back down to break even on my CCL shares, I've spent the last few months feeling like JD Rockerfeller with my 50% gain on a bluechip share. I'll certainly be buying a few more in the coming days. I find Donald Trump talks a load but they'll probably be a decent bounce when a bit of sense is seen. It's a decent price point anyway.

Ignore Motley Fool, I think the reason I was ever originally invested here was an article hyping this share at about 25p or something, I've been averaging down ever since and now sitting on a 5% profit! Happy with it at my price point but am a bit concerned it's about a third of my portfolio. I shouldn't complain really because a month or so ago it was about a fifth of my portfolio. Now we are producing I'm happy just to be a LTH in the green
