Since then the RCCL stock price has gone through the roof. We have also had a nice "dividend" of at least $1000 of OBC. We haven't cruised the CCL or the NCL ships but will be in the future. I do not have any problems having 100 shares of three companies in a large portfolio of stocks. There is no requirement that the stock be held for longer than it is necessary to get the shareholder discount approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismch Posted April 27 #53 Share Posted April 27 Unfortunately, if you bought 100 shares now, at $145 per share (today's price) you'd be putting aside $14,500 for that benefit - not a great investment at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted April 27 #54 Share Posted April 27 This is a nice benefit, but $14,000 to buy 100 shares to get $100 OBC for 7 days is kind of expensive. If you bought a couple of years ago you could pay a lot less and, obviously, you made a good buy since it has gone up a lot. Princess/Carnival does the same thing, but with their stock trading around $15/share it's a lot easier to buy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, the odds appear to be greater that the share price will go down. Buying now could be a high risk proposition. Invest the money in a CD and use that money for OBC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
