Dinglebert Posted March 30, 2020 #151 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bought last Wednesday at 1010 and sold on Thursday at 1260. Was keeping them for the long run but its so volatile at the moment. Will pick them up again if they go below 800 which is looking a real possiblility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ray Posted March 30, 2020 #152 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Bought 100 last week at £8.29. No intention of selling them so obviously a gamble if Carnival go belly up. If they don't then we will enjoy the small perks being shareholders bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suekay Posted March 30, 2020 #154 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'm registered with iWeb sharedealing online. I think it currently costs £25 to join then £5 per transaction. There may be cheaper ways of buying but I find the iWeb Share dealing site easy to buy and sell shares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not giving it after the 2008 crash if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted March 30, 2020 #157 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We did get it in 2008. It was the dividend that was cut to zero. Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian I would imagine that will apply this time as well, dividends cost them cash, OBC costs them very little especially if it encourages bookings and happy cruisers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmacs Posted March 30, 2020 #160 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Must like risks. Bought 100 many years ago at 30 pounds per share and have held them. Loaned my daughter who has just discovered cruising 650 pounds last week to buy another 100. I can't see any dividend for at least two years, but if Carnival survives so will, I suspect the obc.

the english lady Posted March 31, 2020 #161 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Would it be considered prudent, when things get back to normal, for a company to be handing out perks to shareholders, no matter how little. I agree the divi would go, but I also think the OBC if it doesn't go, to be reduced by a considerable amount. If all the cruise lines survive , without government bailouts etc I would imagine they would be fairly strapped for cash, and the OBC perk for shareholders I wouldn't think brings in a lot of bookings. Maybe the one you get for booking select fares will stay ( i think people will be very wary of booking too far in advance in the future). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OBC for shareholders costs them very little in reality. The cost price of what you can get using it is a very small percentage of the selling price. Shareholding promotes loyality, reduce the avantages then people have other options. The main reason any company is in business is to make money for their owner (shareholders). That is their purpose. In Carnivals case they do that by selling cruises to the public for as much profit as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we always thought and was confirmed by a senior officer responsible for gaining revenue on the ship, "The large ships do not make money on their sale of cruises". She then went on to say the profits are made with the on board spending that can be generated - hence all the "spending opportunities" that are becoming more and more prevalent on the ships. I do agree they will be looking for anything that will increase their revenue and gain future bookings though, especially after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the english lady Posted March 31, 2020 #172 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Yes I know I am talking about what is decided at the next agm. I think you had to book a cruise by a certain date to get the current rates. Whatever is decided will come into effect effect after the date you mention.

No, the current shareholder OBC was originally agreed to July this year. Today, they've agreed that it'll extend to July 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
