Baron Barracuda Posted March 17, 2020 #201 Share Posted March 17, 2020 3 minutes ago, grandgeezer said: In the case of RCL, they paid out $163,000,000 in dividends the first quarter this year. That equates to $652,000,000 per year. Until the eliminate the dividend and suspend the stock owner obc, giving them a bail out would be a joke. Barrons comment on cruise lines being left out of proposed stimulus: Multiple Democratic lawmakers say it makes little sense to bail out an industry that doesn't pay most of the applicable U.S. taxes and is not subject to more strict U.S. employment and regulatory requirements, according to Roll Call, a news organization that covers Capitol Hill. "They aren't American," Rep. Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat and chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, told Roll Call. "They don't pay taxes in the United States of America." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do pay some taxes as they usually have corporate offices and call centers in southern FL. 60+ corporations on the S&P500 do not pay any federal taxes in the US. The administration did already say they'll provide some cruise ship assistance, might not find out what that is until a later time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a broker. You will need a broker to purchase. Best if you select a discount broker like Robin Hood, Charles Schwab, etc. They now do not charge commission on equity trade. Once you open an account (that can be done online) you then need to fund you account (deposit money into it). You can then purchase by internet or telephone call. Having said that - there are a couple ways to buy without a broker if you happen to be an employee using a SPP, dividend re-investment, or other employee benefits.

As I'm from Canada, I don't know that we have access to Charles Schwab. We actually have access to a lot fewer things than our southern neighbours. 🙁.

Many brokers have online capabilities and charge no commission. Do a search to find out what's available to you. Invest "with your head not your heart".I've substituted "invest" for "bet", but at these times in particular the two terms are interchangeable.
