klaner64 Posted October 8, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 8, 2014 News reports are that the ebola virus is the reason stocks for cruise ships are down. When are the prices going to go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHealing Posted October 8, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Look at the range for this year, between mid 30's to almost 42. Last year the stock was effected by poor performance due to the various bad press effects of the ship problems and the costa Concordia. This downturn is just the market correcting, not a specific negative against CCL. This is the way I look at this stock: every year I recieve $1/share in dividend. Based on my purchase price that is a yield of +2.75%. I take no less then two 7 days cruises per year. That's an additional $200 credit to my balance sheet. This means I make about a 7% return on my invested dollars. Great deal for me as an investor, great deal for Carnival, because I'm not sailing RCL. If the stock ever got over sold below $30/share, I would be buying more shares just because I know in time it will be back in the high 30s to 40.

snc_cam Posted October 8, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If we could all time the stock market for buying and selling, we would be so well off. However, there is reality. And as my dad told me a LOT, don't invest what you can't afford to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbound Posted October 8, 2014 #30 Share Posted October 8, 2014 $ 40 -per share seems very high to me and would not purchase at that price. Years ago I bought CCL stock at $18.18 per share sold it at $48.15 per share. You are right I would not buy CCL stock at $40.00 per share.

cjknox Posted October 8, 2014 #35 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You'd think that ''sensible'' investors wouldn't react so swiftly but when money's involved all precautions are taken. Even with the slightest of bad news.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted October 8, 2014 #36 Share Posted October 8, 2014 the odds are it is "not" the small investor here, but the large mutual funds that are doing this drop. When it gets low enough, they will buy back in and the price will go up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmptrwiz Posted October 8, 2014 Author #37 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Are you day trading? Looks like currently RCL is off $1.72 and CCL is only down 0.41. Yes I am. I do tend to hold for awhile especially if we are going on a cruise. I try to hold for the dividend as well. We have made a little money and saved some more money.

golfadj Posted October 8, 2014 #38 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Maybe. On the other hand, anyone looking for investment advice on these boards has a seriously wrong number.... :) very true including someone who posts here who is gleeful that Rccl is down more than ccl., Ebola will get worse before it gets better and think the stock will continue to go down. If ebola gets a foothold in the Caribbean might see lots of cruises to nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted October 8, 2014 #39 Share Posted October 8, 2014 very true including someone who posts here who is gleeful that Rccl is down more than ccl., :eek: Aaaack!!! Stu, stop stop stop!! Don't stifle those efforts, as they could potentially turn beneficial to some of us. ;) There was that gleeful post of his on 3/14/13, followed by one even more gleeful on 3/20/13 with a neener neener to RCCL. One month later (4/17/13) there was an interesting 'change of events' in the Wall Street hood, and it progressed non-stop from there. Someone was totally successful in adding enough biting comments to get that thread locked down, but it is copied in its entirety for historical (and amusement) purposes.

andy.capitan Posted October 9, 2014 #49 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Since some like percentages, Carnival's dividend is significantly higher than RCL's embarrassingly small yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
