ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted October 3, 2019 #26 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I own 100 and my wife owns 100. It would be great if we both could get the OBC on a cruise. Darn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted October 3, 2019 #30 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Interested or invested in a stock of any industry? Not a bad idea to follow what is happening with that stock in relation to the economy. I have done so. But, I follow my own evaluation with some help from my financial adviser, of course. Who knows what the near term future of the economy holds? My crystal ball is as foggy as ever. I do know that in the 2008-2009 years when the cruise line stocks were sinking almost as fast as the Titanic did on a daily basis, I sold a long held position in RCI, took a loss which helped my tax position for the year, but when the stock reached such a low price, given the Company's position in the marketplace, it's price encouraged me to buy more just above its all time low being certain to have avoided the IRS Wash Rule. Today, I wonder: why didn't I buy more and why didn't I use the same strategy with my CCL shares? Whatever one does, if you are a long term holder of the stock: reinvest the Company's dividends! As a long term investor, it makes a difference!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted October 4, 2019 #31 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Many years ago, a colleague gave me the best stock advice I've ever heard. Buy good stocks. When they go up, sell. If they don't go up, don't buy them. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you will be cruising with family one day and need two cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted October 4, 2019 #33 Share Posted October 4, 2019 12 hours ago, twodaywonder said: The stock went low after Carnival got hit with the 40 mill and another 20 mill for pollution. Plus the market went down. Once they are back on good standings. I would think it will go back up. That had nothing to do with the recent drop in stock price. The price dropped recently because CCL Corp lowered their estimate of earnings for the 4th quarter of this year. In addition, they indicated that new bookings for next year, while good, are at prices the same as or lower than the past year. The market in general values stocks on future earnings potential, not past one time costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought at 56, recouped 800 so far + 50 this month + 100 next + 100 March 2020 + 250 November 2020 so fairly even 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framer Posted October 5, 2019 #36 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seriously, if you cruise with Princess, just buy your 100 shares while the price is down. framer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the Stock OBC, Future cruise credit $50 or $100 and the Veterans OBC same as the stock offer. Nice! Sometimes Princess has a promotion OBC and so does my TA. All adds up very nice. Carnival stock is the very best to own. Like any stock. It has its ups and downs. In the mean time I get the OBC and the dividends. Exactly the same ones I get. My last several cruises, I've gotten a check in the mail for unused portion of the military OBC. Now if I can just find a way to get free gratuities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We continue to get OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted October 6, 2019 #43 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Thanks for this post. I will purchase 100 shares first thing Monday. We have two cruises and 3 cabins next year. Last time I did this I purchased NCL stock, got the OBC and made 6% in 3 months. The low price just means that a smaller investment is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a "buy and hold" investor, unless my holdings are in a company that appear to be in a more severe decline than I wish to ride, i.e. JCP and RCI near its lowest point, my investment philosophy has been successful. So far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted October 7, 2019 #49 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I wonder how long it is going to take PCL/CCL to make back the environmental fines. I imagine stock price will be depressed for at least some of that period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
