molecrochip Posted November 2, 2022 #127 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Notice how the market moves together. This was the year to Carnival’s Q3 announcement. Thanks to CNBC for the image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted November 2, 2022 #128 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Even better, here’s the effect that Carnival’s Q3 announcement had across the industry. Carnival is the biggest so when it catches a cold, everyone sneezes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDB78 Posted November 15, 2022 #132 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I guess most people would have been following the price over the last month? I bought my 100 shares just below £11. Unfortunately they fell quite quickly to £5.50. I was weary of the old betting advice of never chasing your losses. At that price however I thought what the heck surely they will go up at some point. The demand seemed strong, pre pandemic performance was strong and the investment needed to buy another 100 was obviously a lot lower. Took the plunge at £5.50 and bought another 90 shares for £495 - making a total investment of £1600. At 1st they went even lower to around £5.00 so the shares were then only worth about £950 = rubbish investment and the only saving grace was well at least I still had the shares and could get the benefits from future cruises. To my great surprise they have increased about 60% in just over a month to over £8.00. Sold the 'extra' 90 I bought for about 45% profit on those, but still about £70 short on my overall investment. Was just glad to get a bit back after falling so much but I would imagine some people will have made a fair bit if they bought at the right time. Anyone else increase their ownership when they 'dipped'. Just fear what might happen at the next business performance announcement - Q4 results?

If you follow Cruise News Radio then you will see that if one cruiseline share price increases the others do. On their daily broadcast I have not ever seen one go up and the others come down...or visa- versa. They all tend to follow the same pattern.

Not more debt, just refinancing existing debt. Over the past week they are still up. What you’ve seen is short term investors taking profit. Up 10%+ in a week was always likely to see that. With refinancing slowing that climb, it’s not a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t have an impact. News was released on Friday evening about the Majestic Princess and Monday & Tuesday saw significant rises in the share price. Regarding the Majestic Princess, that’s a strain of Covid doing the rounds in Australia that’s not yet hit Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my ignorance but down nearly 14% today and if my memory serves me right you have recently said that you expect Carnival shares to drop to around £4 by January - quote "Are we at the bottom? I think that may wait for January depending largely on oil prices. I think we -could hit £4 before we see the turn. My end of 2023 target is £10ps".

My personal expectation was that the shares could hit as low as £4 by January. I didn't expect the rally that we've had over the past week to Monday. I might revise that slightly given their performance and a better industry performance but still expect the market to react badly to the Q4 result - whatever that is. My comment that you quoted regarding the debt move this week, was purely commentary on what Carnival have announced. Nobody should use my views as guidance for investing - they are just my views. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted December 12, 2022 #143 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Just brining this topic back up... With some gloomy economic data over the past week, and with some more to come on Wednesday (inflation) and Thursday (BOE rate rise?), its worth noting that the shares have tracked back 25% from their high of 845p to 633p each. Whilst I can be an optimist, I don't see much brighter news before February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make a loss till you sell it, and they are now not worth selling. Going to be 10 years before they are worth what they were before covid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst only needing the 100 shares for the benefit I’ve been buying on the lows and pretty much covered my losses in doing so. When I’m even I’ll bail out all bar the 100 I guess 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be right about the reaction to the Q4 results. It's as if the market wants get back on track but there's a lot of negative factors and the financials aren't quite where they need to be. Although the market generally acts together, I see that RC share price is up 35% over the last 6 months, whereas Carnival is down 11%. Hopefully over the longer term Carnival will get there but looks like RC are a couple steps ahead?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
