Are you a Share Holder? If not, what the hell do you care?

Yes, I am a shareholder.  And I hate it when the gamblers all brag about the great rates they get and the free drinks, etc.  I've sailed on Carnival 25 times over 37 years and the only free thing I ever got was a free upgrade on the Spirit to a balcony.  But then again, I don't make deposits in the casino. By your handle, you're obviously a gambler.

Nobody is irreplaceable. Gamblers, smokers, whatever.

So hilarious, I paid a little over a thousand dollars for my 100 shares. And with the cruising I've been doing, free or otherwise, the shares have already paid for themselves. I mean, you just spent thousands on a cruise, what's another grand for OBC? And if the stock doesn't go down, you still have the original investment that made you obc...

Thought that Robert Kraft said that two years ago when he was caught in the massage parlor.
