serendipity1499 Posted November 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Does anyone know what's driving up CCL's stock? It closed today at $44.16 (up $2.04) !:D:D Are they selling cruises at Black Friday prices? We've certainly recouped our initial investment for the stock with OBC's & Dividends, but really wish we had bought more than 100 shares! ;) I've never had much luck buying individual stocks, so this makes me happy..

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2014 RCL and NCLH both rose slightly more than CCL today, but CCL pays the best dividend. The analysts attributed all the rises to lower oil prices, which should translate directly to higher profits for the cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted November 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Its mostly due to the huge drop (10% or so) in oil prices (CCL uses LOTS of oil). Just look at the jump in airline stocks as well - same reasoning. DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted November 28, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Wouldn't it be nice if the Airlines lowered their Ticket prices.. They are higher than they were a year ago, so they certainly are not passing the reductions in oil back to the consumer.. HAL on the other hand is selling many cabins for rock bottom prices.. Cheers.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers.. Just the opposite. Jet Blue announced they will be adding more seats, thereby reducing leg room and will start charging for first checked bag. Currently first bag is no charge. So much for passing along some fuel savings to the customer. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cbr663 Posted November 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Still has some climbing to do to get back to its peak. More alarming is how the company is doing over the long run. CCL seriously needs to reverse its downward trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cbr663 Posted November 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Seems that the attachments in my previous post are difficult to read.

Langoustine Posted November 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) I'm happy. too, having bought in early, but upped my stop-loss order to $40 today. CCL was very volatile in October. Edited November 29, 2014 by Langoustine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted November 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Might be time to sell 11 of my shares to get down to the required 100 and enjoy the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 29, 2014 We bought the stock many years ago when it was around $12 a share. Sure wish we had bought more. Could have sold the extra shares and made some extra money. We certainly have made out on the shipboard credit over the years as well as the dividends.

You pad $2700 and have collected 40 times, or $2700 x 40 = $108,000 for 11 cruises or about $9818 per cruise? Is this what you are suggesting?

Is this what you are suggesting?[/quote'] LOL..I think you are misinterpreting what "we're sailing away" is saying.. Believe they probably have collected OBC on 40 cruises since they purchased the 100 shares.. Minimum that would be $4,000 in OBC which is a nice profit.. We paid $18.24 a share in 2009, only because I was too "chicken" to purchase it before that.. So far we've collected more than we paid in OBC. & dividends.. We normally take longer cruises & receive $250 OBC for each cruise..:):) Edited November 29, 2014 by serendipity1499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted November 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm happy. too, having bought in early, but upped my stop-loss order to $40 today. CCL was very volatile in October. I would consider keeping 100 shares, even at this price. At $40 you are getting 2.5% in dividends (better than in a bank), plus your OBC for each cruise. Cruise once a year for 7 days and you earn $100 (another 2.5%) and if you take a longer cruise (I think over 14 days) you get $250 (6.25%). Remember, the OBC is tax free as well. Hard to beat this deal IMO. Plus with oil dropping, CCL profits should be increasing. DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have since been paid $100 in dividends and $250 in OBC, with another $100 OBC coming in January. As long as the OBC program stays in effect, this is a great investment.

OTOW guy Posted November 29, 2014 #24 Share Posted November 29, 2014 but the OBCs made up for any losses in the past and I have a lot of extra shares thru dividend reinvestment. No plans to sell any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antique sailor Posted November 29, 2014 #25 Share Posted November 29, 2014 AHOY SHIPMATES, When the CD market crashed, I bought CUK and RCL shares as they matured (200 ea ) The CUK for the OBC and the RCL because of the growth. Best investment I ever made. I aint rich, but will never be hungry (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
