That's great news. OBC plus an increase in the dividend makes us all happy happy.

Sweet

love those dividends

and bennies that go with being a share holder

[beg3yrs]

That's good news. With the stock price being so high, the 25 cent dividend became a pittance. Even at 30 cents it's a pittance but hey, it's a bigger pittance so I'm certainly not complaining.

Long overdue, but that special dividend a few years back was a nice little unexpected bonus!

When we bought this stock in 2013 our adviser tried to dissuade us from purchasing..."bad investment", "slow growth".

It has doubled $$$ since we bought it. Plus dividends, plus OBC. Works for me!!

For sure not a bad investment, mine has tripled plus some. :)

That is the same thing that happened to us when we called our broker to purchase the stock. It was a few years ago and have just kept it, plus purchased more shares over the past couple years. So the higher dividend is a good thing, and of coarse the benefits are nice :)

How has his/her other advice worked out?

Doing the happy dance.......now maybe the upgrade fairy will sprinkle a bit of dust my way????????

[paul929207]

I explained to my advisor why I wanted to buy the stock and he thought it was a great idea. We cruise often so we are getting a about $1000 each year in OBC. So I don't really care what the stock does. If it goes bankrupt tomorrow, I will have made a nice profit.

Our adviser was different. He was familiar with the OBC benefits and had several other clients who bought CCL for those reasons. He thought that if you cruised a couple of times a year, the OBC and the dividends made it a good investment.

I'm now sorry we didn't buy 1000 shares instead of 100 shares on our initial investment. Bought at $36 and change a share and now at $52 and change a share. Great gain plus dividends plus a lot of OBC since initial purchase. Wish all of my investments worked out this well! Go CCL!

I'm still kicking myself for not buying when it was around $18/share about 6 1/2 years ago. No, I had to wait until it went up to $25/share!

At least you got it. I guess I bought in about the same time. Paid about $26 a share

[satxdiver]

Great news of course. However the biggest dividend is the shareholder OBC on all Carnival Corp cruise lines which so far for us means Princess and CCL. This is money that would have come out of my pocket if it were not for the OBC. Obviously the more one cruises, the higher the "dividend" will be.

 

We bought ours for $19/share in 2009. It has been a good investment.

Don't feel bad. I can't remember how many years ago I bought it, but I must have bought at an all-time high. It just this week is back up to what I originally paid for it. But I have gotten a lot of stockholder credit during those years so I have never been too upset about it

I almost passed on it when I purchased at $14. :)

[iceleven]

But for most of us, that's only $30. Few people buy more than what is necessary to obtain the cruise OBC. Sure, 30% is huge as a return but no biggie if you only have the minimum 100 shares. Multiple cruise and 15+ day cruises make holding this stock valuable. Yes, I know...preaching to the choir.;)
