Carnival stock fell like a rock!

That's a good one. But, will only fool those who don't know how the yield is figured.

 

Thank you for your objective and funny posts.

Gleeful should be reserved for the OP's choice of titles for the thread, and partial reporting.

 

My reporting was fair and unbiased.

 

Your glee over the GOS fire was juvenile, at best.

Seems they are reporting that this Ebola outbreak is going to have some fallout on cruise bookings.

News organizations don't rise to number one for no reason.

 

But watch what you want. You just won't be up to speed. And that will only affect you.

You're right. They rise to number one by pandering, sensationalizing, and distorting facts. :rolleyes: They have admitted to doing this link.

 

I don't trust any US news sources. BBC all the way.

I read the link you provided, but wouldn't that ruling also apply to the Daily KOS who published the report ??? Could they be lying also ????

I never said Fox News lies. Just that they pick and choose which facts to report in order to make a usually sensational story that panders to their audience. CNN and MSNBC do the same. I find that highly deceitful and refuse to watch as it doesn't provide the full picture.

 

There's not much to distort or lie about here. The court rulings are public information. Here's the actual court ruling link.

Here's some comparisons courtesy Google Finance:

• 
   
  
• 10 Years, RCL +26%, CCL -26%
  
• 5 Years-, RCL+148%, CCL +10%
  
• 1 Year--, RCL +61%, CCL +13%
  
• YTD-----, RCL +24%, CCL -10%
  

[andy.capitan]

and after all those years

 

 

CCL Market Cap: 27.85B

RCL Market Cap: 13.05B

[cruzfitter]

and after all those years

 

 

CCL Market Cap: 27.85B

RCL Market Cap: 13.05B

 

Don't forget that CCL comes first alphabetically. That's almost as important as dividend yield and market cap.

Obviouslty CCL has been the better investment. Funny how some do not understand this.

Andy Wall Street prefers RCL over CCL.

 

With a $1.00 per share annual Dividend for each company based on today's closing price RCL has a 63% price premium they are both in the same industry With the same payout and industry the price per share should be much closer in price.

 

Wall Street not you or me perceives RCL is a much better run Company

Seems like you're the one who sent it off track by posting about faux news being #1. Funny how it's OK when you do it, but not OK when someone else does.

 

To get this back on track. It's been said before. If you're taking investment advice from cruise critic or trusting people's opinions on this board, you deserve what's coming. I'm highly skeptical any time someone says "Wall street prefers...". Usually that means, "I prefer...". Investment should be done based on discussion with a financial advisor or extensive independent research.

Here are some facts:

 

CCL: 35.67 Down 2.00(5.31%)

RCL: 58.17 Down 3.87(6.24%)

[andy.capitan]

I believe RCL upped their dividend.

 

I think that is accurate. There was a period when both suspended dividends, but CCL reinstated theirs long before RCL did.
