Cavmedic Posted March 17, 2020 #401 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Yes. The margin requirements are if you are basically using your funds as collateral. So say you want to purchase 100 shares but are only funded for 50, you can make the purchase for 100 but there are requirements. Its basically taking out a loan. If you want to buy 10 shares and have funds for 10 shares you are not using margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed01106 Posted March 17, 2020 #403 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If you are not buying on margin the message is not relevant to you. Typically you are allowed to borrow 50% and buy on margin. So to buy 10 shares of stock at $20 you would need to have $100 of cash and can borrow $100. Highly volatile stocks some times have special margin requirements, limiting how much you can borrow to 30 or 40%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavmedic Posted March 17, 2020 #404 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Also, I say to use limit as you seem to have a particular price point. You set the limit. Market price has its uses but fixating on a specific price isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cementhands Posted March 17, 2020 #405 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What’s the bottom? Seems like NCL is getting hit the worst. At what price is bankruptcy a possibility. Risk factors. Will cruise resume this fall next year? Canada not allowing cruise ships will effect Alaskan and New England cruise. Don’t USA cruises have to visit international port each trip except Hawaii around island. Many factors including other countries reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankruptcy is a real possibility for all the lines right about now.

That is a complete reversal of cause and effect. Bankruptcy will happen if the company runs out of money. The low stock price is a result of people being concerned about bankruptcy, but a low stock price won’t cause bankruptcy and a high price won’t prevent it. (That is a bit of an oversimplification as stock price can affect the companies ability to raise cash by issuing stock. But in general risk of. bankruptcy drives the price, not the price drives bankruptcy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted March 17, 2020 #409 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) It seems like the cruise industry is not part of the stimulus package being drafted so RCL stock is down 8%+ while the overall market is up 3%+.

ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted March 17, 2020 #411 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I bought RCL stock when the marked plumited several years ago. It cam way up after that. Today I just purchased 100 for $28.00. To me that is a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted March 17, 2020 #416 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The last time I bought Royal it was $100 a share. Yes that was some time back. Sold it 3 months later for a $1,700.00 gain. I will just sit now. See what happens this time next year when I hope all this virus stuf is just about over and business for everyone comes back to almost normal. I think our economy being so strong certainly helps the bottom line. If the economy was week when this hhit. it would be far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet a few minutes ago at his daily press briefing Trump spoke of how the cruise industry was just recently setting records, is a great industry and we have to help them. "They will be taking care of people for years to come and paying tremendous taxes, tremendous taxes". Either he's unaware of the cruise lines current tax situation or maybe paying US taxes will be the quid pro quo for obtaining aid. By the way Merrill Lynch cut RCL to underperform (sell) this morning and reduced price target to $25.

If they were to go BK in a way that impacts customers it would probably go all the way to sale of assets. Most likely a BK will be a financial restructuring, where the shareholders get wiped out, the debt holders get equity in return for the their debt, new builds get canceled or delayed, but the customers remain intact (deposits, FCC's).

Any kind of bailout to the cruise industry would have to go through congress where it would encounter problems. At most they might get a lender of last resort treatment, probably in a BK. That would help the portions of the industry that is actually impact the US, would keep them running, but would not protect shareholders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

npcl Posted March 17, 2020 #421 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Carnival bonds have been down graded to BBB the 10/15 bonds are now at 13.122% YTM up from around 3% a week or so ago. While longer term bonds are not as high, they are now all trading higher than original coupon price. Considering that the 10 year is at less than one percent, the Bond market is certainly not positive on the future of CCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never ever see the point of bailing out a business that pays no US taxes and doesn't adhere to US labor laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
