It is all about taking the risk even the brokers probably do not know more then you do. Buying CCL at 8.00 Dollars a share is a good bet if you look at the past earrings. The stock will go up how long it takes that is the question. 

 

We're asking how to go about buying shares in the first place.

 

Can we buy 100 shares as a one off purchase?

Do we have to have an online platform account that's continually costing money?

What's more economical for buying 100 shares (and no others) - A UK Stocks and Shares ISA or a different type of account. 

All of your knowledgeable advice on actually where to buy 100 shares and which account is most welcome.

 

Thank you all.

If you are in the UK then your bank will have a share account option. Open a share account, transfer in enough funds to cover the purchase and fees.  When funds in place make the purchase from your share account.  Any residue from share account can be returned to your account.

In addition, in the UK there are Share Isas and SIP as options.  Again, your Bank will have all the details for you.

Thank you Port Royal. It's another thing I'll look at tonight. 

We're all in a UK lockdown and the garden might be our only holiday this year so on with the tidying!

Jeeze,I was going to get on here and talk about how cheap CCL stock is now and how it's going up after the Saudi's got in on it. But, I think I''ll get out of here,  it's getting a little intense.

Wow, the 1st qtr was a nightmare. A loss of $781 million compared to a profit of $336 million in 2019. That's a billion dollar swing.

 

The second quarter is going to be a whole lot worse than the 1st.

I have used Etrade for years and have been very happy with the platform.

Hi DimmieCO,  I recently opened an E*trade account and managed to buy 100 shares of CCL last week.    I just don't understand what I'm supposed to print out to send to Carnival to get my shareholder credit???    Can you please explain to me what you fax to Carnival and where you go to get it??

TIA

Bill

wait until your first statement is available.  It will show your portfolio.  That’s what I sent to Carnival.  Here’s the info on where to send it:

Agreed. Carnival has been hoarding cash and March through May is their second quarter. Yikes...

I have Schwab and my statements are monthly. Log into your account, there should an option to see your statement.

Thanks John.    I have and I'm just not seeing what I expected.   Might be my inexperience, but I was just expecting to see something saying:   Mr. XXX X XXXXX, Acct: YYYY YYYY owns 100 shares of CCL as of 04/02/2020.   😄

Maybe not a billboard, but something more obvious than what I currently seeing.    Also, it may be that I only bought a week ago, so might not have showed up on my statement page.    Just really not sure what I was looking for??

Etrade will send you an email every month when your statement is ready.

if you go to the Portfolio tab, you will see it, but Carnival will want a monthly statement.  You have plenty of time.

Will CUK shares get the Shareholder Benefit Discount?  If not then CCL is probably way to go, at least for your initial 100...

Yes you do get shareholder benefts from CUK

This document states the shareholder benefits for Carnival stock owners. Carnival Corporation is CCL, while Carnival PLC is CUK.  Both get the exact same OBC benefits for shareholders.

I am 80 yrs.old and I have always wanted to buy stock just to have it. My Adult son didn't want to help me buy Carnival stock last week for $8. per share. So today I decided to ask for help from Fidelity Investments. I went on-line first and then when I needed to transfer money from my checking acct to the Fidelity acct. I chose to call and pay a Fee for HELP. A very nice Lady helped me to buy 100 shares of Carnival stock. I am glad I asked for help because I am not tech savey.

 

I have been cruising since I was in my 30's. Now that I am a senior I have the money to invest on Carnival Stock. I am not looking to make more money but to become a stock holder.

It is a super high risk but I am willing to GAMBLE and win or loss. I see it as an investment to help the cruise lines that have given me so much joy and improvement in my life. That is my main goal to invest in their future.  I come from a family of gamblers since the 1800's when a great uncle got shot playing cards in a Texas Saloon. Many of my relatives are Gambling Addicts. 

 

I am a CRUISE ADDICT.  I cried tears of joy when I finally accomplished my goal of buying stock. Part of my Bucket list. YEAH!

Congratulations!!!   How nice you were able to achieve this dream.    It may not be as high a risk as you think.   The stock is selling way below its normal market value.   I'm by no means an expert, but really expect to see a steady increase over the next several years, after we get by this Coronavirus stuff!! 

 

I am a bit peeved at your son!!   Why would he not help you??   I'm assuming you are well, and that you can afford it.   What I wouldn't give to be able to help my Mom achieve a dream of hers.   Congratulations again!

Well let's see.  Cruise ship with a casino. Bingo games 3 times a day. No firearm allowed on board. Freebie OBC as a shareholder. I say your prayer has been answered. Congratulations.

Way to go, LucyR ! I'd love to see your sons face when you tell him you are now a proud shareholder😁

UBS sizes up the balance sheets of the cruise line operators after factoring in the latest cash-preservation moves by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH +7.5%) and Royal Caribbean (RCL +12.5%), as well as the capital raise by Carnival (CCL +12.0%).

Analyst Robin Farley: "CCL's capital raise last week gives it the longest runway of liquidity to stay afloat in a zero-revenue scenario, at about 12-13 months with potential for another 2 months based on prolonged layups, and more beyond that (as we detail below.) That puts CCL further ahead of RCL, which we believe has ~10 months of liquidity in a zero-rev scenario, and NCLH which we believe has ~7-8 months of liquidity in such a scenario."

UBS has a 12-month Buy rating on Royal Caribbean and Neutral ratings on Carnival and Norwegian.

When you are ready to cruise again -- be sure to submit your request for the OBC's  at least 2 weeks prior to departure (actually 30 days would be better). Take a copy of the acknowledgement with you -- we had issues with our last HAL cruise as corporate office never got the messages.
