(Reuters) - Carnival Corp, the world’s largest cruise operator, is currently not taking a position on mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for passengers before traveling, a company spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.
Norwegian and Royal Caribbean Group have both said they would restart cruises from the Caribbean later this year with vaccinated passengers.
Carnival said on Monday the guideline was “largely unworkable and stood in stark contrast to the approach taken in other travel and tourism sectors.”

FY 2021
All will be revealed shortly.

"Anitiono was a little squirrel"

He sure was and he has gone off to spend his ill gotten gains.
In my book, o/a the shareholders were the last thing on his mind.

What no bonus!
ZURICH (Reuters) - Credit Suisse on Tuesday said it was replacing senior managers, halting its share buyback programme and slashing its 2020 dividend as it grapples with the estimated 4.4 billion Swiss franc ($4.69 billion) fallout from its relationship with Archegos Capital Management LP. It scrapped proposals for executive bonuses for the year.

Euro out of favour, watch out for the gold backed Deutsche Mark.
Stranger things have happened.

Yes Theo, spread the risk has always been my motto. I wonder how many investors, private and professional have said these words "if only."

"It sounds like you apply common sense to your investing."
Whatever happened to diversification and don't buy in one trade?
It may have paid off this time but I wouldn't call it common sense AP.
Just saying.

I welcome all contributors here whether I agree or not, even yours 2D.
I must say at least your comments are yours (does that make sense) helped by your prolific typing and not just a copy and paste as mentioned earlier.
There is, or can be a certain amount of truth in your comments 2D but if someone disagrees with the content, surely it is only right and proper for them to respond and in a manner they see fit, especially as they might be offended.
Your telling it 'how it is,' is usually telling it how it was, with more lateral thinking added about how it's going to be.
As with all opinions they differ and peeps let you know.

This BB is basically reduced to contributors posting links that have the name Lloyds in the title.
In the past we've even had some Lloyds of London included.
Whatever happened to discussion and free thinking?
With the market closed until Tuesday, I wonder what the content on here will be, if any.
Just thinking out loud, enjoy the weekend.

First the news from the other day that IO prices are projected to fall upto 50% by next year, seems Vale are getting their act together at last. No worries for BEM as we'll catch the next rally if we have a decision by then.
If that wasn't enough, UNESCO'S lot are all busy trying to get a response together to the Sky news article today on the Canadian oil and gas company Recon Africa's drilling in Namibia.
Apparently concerns have been raised because it's 160 miles downstream from the UNESCO recognized Okavango Delta.
Somebody should tell em, they're all otherwise engaged replying to a request from some bloke in Sweden called Baylan.

Well it is April the 1st. :-))

6%+ lost value, oh well as the name implies, back for the divi lol.

Could have been worse 1.A, you could have moved them into the Deliveroo IPO. :-)

Rest easy the FCA will look after your investments.
The investment business London Capital and Finance collapsed at the start of 2019 after raising £237m ($324m) from 11,000 small-time savers. The Serious Fraud Office is investigating and former FCA chief Andrew Bailey has called it a "suspected fraud."

One of Britain's top financial regulators has apologised for failing to catch one of the biggest investment collapses in the last decade — but defended her decision not to quit.
Megan Butler was one of three people named and shamed in a damning report into the collapse of London Capital and Finance last year.

No names no pack drill falkland.
For TA read terrible analysis, lol.

There's some on here who still believe that lloyds is in a downturn, oh well.

Can't recall saying I was worried about passing on the debt RW just posted some facts..
I thought there were 'rumblings' about overhauling death duties and about time, although avoidance is enhanced with the appropriate planning.
As to how it's paid back I've no idea.
The economic model was broken long before Covid struck us.

Hi aug, as you know I didn't take my entitlement, strangely I've no regrets, lol.
It's been quite some time since I've bought and sold BEM, with my former holding considerably reduced I'm content to just leave them but could still turn a profit even at these prices.
I hope it comes good for everyone (and me) but the longer it drags on, the more the doubt.

Three weeks ago the national debt was c£2.1 trillion and is expected to rise in next year to c£2.5 trl.
However total liabilities rise to c£9.6 trillion, (about£143,000 per head, IMF figures) if you include other non provisions such as PFI, public sector pensions, old age pensions, nuclear decommissioning and probably many other obligations which are not accounted for.
One thing's for sure, no contributors on this BB will see the end of this debt, we'll have enough job servicing it.
What happens after we're all gone???

Intraday lows are now touching 4.0p with increasing regularity.
If nothing happens on the Kallak front soon I wonder if this is now on its inescapable journey back down to last November's offer price of 3.16p?
Fundraising can have that effect on an SP, especially when there's no immediate benefits gained.
That would give BEM a market cap of a little over £26m, we've been here before but not with this many issued shares.
Just saying.

No the sell price is not a glitch AS, it's just been posted a bit too early in the year. :-))
patience, it'll get there.

Amidst a sea of red I briefly spotted lloyds bob up over the surface, there's hope still.
