srlafleur Posted July 10, 2008 #79 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yes, the value of my 100 shares of CCL has gone down since I bought it in April. Am I concerned? Not really, since I bought it for the long haul and the shipboard credit anyway. If it were stock in only one line, yes, I'd be nervous, but look at how many different lines are under that one banner, (including some that I've never even heard of) and whose operations are probably only marginally affected by the current U.S. economy. While I'm no economist, by any stretch, I'm pretty sure the whole company isn't going under any time soon. Bummer the dividends won't be higher, but I'm pretty sure, with so few shares, that I'm never going to be able to retire on them anyway, no matter how high the stock goes up, eventually.

Trader Ron Posted July 11, 2008 #83 Share Posted July 11, 2008 And how will you know when that is??? Crude prices are the great unknown. Will they top out here, or make a run to 175 or 200 a bbl? It might make a V bottom. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m steve Posted July 11, 2008 #86 Share Posted July 11, 2008 on Thursday. Now that's 40% off it's high. the market isn't that far off. The annual dividend is close to 20% if it remains the same based on current purchase price. Micky night be down to being a millionaire but the dividends keep him in style.

m steve Posted July 12, 2008 #88 Share Posted July 12, 2008 my math stinks. A10% return would be $3 a year. It's still about 5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted July 16, 2008 #89 Share Posted July 16, 2008 At 3 pm today the Carnival stock was up $2.79. Thats bringing it back to the late June price. Could comeone be manipulating it as that's a 9% rise in one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryos Posted July 16, 2008 #90 Share Posted July 16, 2008 CCL made a FIVE year low today by a smidge. I'm not buying it until it stops going down.I have to see my Wachovia financial guy tomorrow anyway ... think I'm gonna ask him about buying some of this. Trust me, it will come back up. And how nice it would be to get it at a steal right now. Now airline stocks ... those are a different story. I'd never buy them. If someone likes to cruise, they're not going to stop cruising just because related costs go up. They'll find a way to continue to take their cruises, even if it means for right now having to come down the ladder in accommodations, length of cruise, whatever. For the short-term the cruise lines may wind up having to "subsidize" the related costs by offering either cheaper cruises or included airfare to get to the boat, but just give them time ... the cruise lines will figure something out; i.e., run their own airline charters, home port, whatever. But people can very well avoid flying very easily. They can take vacations closer to home or even "staycations." They can drive to their vacations even if it means an extra two days at either end on the road. But the bottom line is that flying is not a pleasurable experience that people won't give up. They will avoid it very easily if they want to ... as I will after this year. No more flying for me (at least not for vacations) until things stabilize in the airline industry.

This is exactly the best time to buy stocks ... as long as you are very, very careful in terms of what company's stocks you buy. I honestly think the cruise industry is a safe bet and their stocks will come right back up again. Then we'll make a lot of money! More cruises! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
