Most personal investors of this stock own the minimum 100 shares, sufficient to qualify for £150 on board credit on a 14 day cruise with Carnival Group members. The $0.50c dividend per quarter was a nice bonus.
Probably like me most paid £20+ per share but we won’t sell as most regular cruisers will have a couple of cruise already rolled over from 2020/21 . Cruise Lines like P&O have very loyal customers and many of those will remain loyal to CCL.
Not a great investor strategy but factual and irrespective of the volatility of this stock I and they will hold on to them. K

I’ve cashed in once qualified for divi.
Had hoped Aviva might have had a look but still expect further consolidation in this sector, maybe L&G . Hope so I hold both.

Probably get there just as New BREXIT deal trashed in Parliament, a vote of no confidence and a General Election so it will regrettably be very much on the back burner.

Finally dumped this dog.

Retired from CEO in Timber Trade at 53. Then did my own thing for 12 years.
Now I travel and spend a lot more time being Grandad than I ever did being Dad.
I have a couple of managed portfolios and manage a couple more for Her Ladyship and myself. LTH of Sirius , average 16p, still buying.

MMMG now have over 15% of Gattaca. A big merger, hopefully.

I got my allocation plus 48% of additional request. Confirmed by Lloyds yesterday.
No cash back yet but I bought shortfall from requested amount and more @ 15.56p this morning.
Also tucked away a lump for Grandkids, should be £25 by time they benefit from them . K

A couple of large sales just now but I’ve bought and brought down my average price so happy to eat it roll. K

MMGG owner of rival Morson have upped their holding in Gattaca to 11% .
Hopefully something afoot bringing hope to shareholders of this lame duck.

As a major holder would CG have been privy to the potential finance provider?
Maybe they couldn’t work with them as a competitor or a conflict.
Left field, they could even be subject to or potential sanctions by Ayatollah Trump, who knows??

If SXX held in an ISA and the holder passes away in the short term, before SXX prospers, could those shares be transferable to a beneficiary, eg Grandkids or would they need to be sold first. Advice please. Regards K

The latest statement about no more bolt ons rather scuppered the story that AV were in talks with RSA.
It seems a good fit and not long back RSA was looking for a partner.

Now Gattaca is involved in a US DOJ investigation into Iran sanction dealings. How much worse can this dog get?

Reducing our International footprint!
Rough translation
“Dismantling earlier follies and getting back to what we do best. We don’t have the management or skills actually”

Large rival Harvey Nash has agreed a takeover by major shareholder Dbay. Hopefully that spurs a series of mergers and other takeovers in this sector. Gattaca must be on someone’s radar with such a low SP.
We live in hope!

Pick me up in RTW, Cranleigh. Do we need jabs?

I heard again from Greg Clark ( our MP and Business Minister ) He advised that , whilst he couldn’t say much, he was very aware of the benefits of the project to the Region and Country and that it has his full attention.
Positive, I’d say and he is a man who comes from the Teeside area which will benefit from lots of logistics jobs. K

Thanks for advice, I’ll investigate Junior ISA option with their parents. Cheers K

Advice please. I’m minded to buy 5000 shares each for the benefit of my 7 Grandchildren ( ages 0 - 12 )
How would you suggest I go about this in order that they might benefit when the SP reaches a given level?
Keep in mind I likely won’t be around and I don’t want to complicate my Estate further. Many thanks. K

Yes there was a window last week but SP was supported by ongoing buy backs. Unfortunately the OBC doesn’t increase with increased shareholding. On last years World Cruise which was 5 segments we still got only £150 for 114 nights. Still view as long term hold but don’t anticipate increasing holding. Enjoy your cruise, lovely ship.
