Corp leaders are compensated for higher stock price, buybacks raise the price at the cost of debt. Party is over, no more easy money. Time to pay the piper. There sure was an awful lot of that going around big corporations. Next will come the layoffs because that's how they solve their problems.

I loaded up on both NCLH and CCL on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm a big fan of NCL's product and prior to this temporary setback they had no problems filling ships at top dollar. People either love or hate to cruise, and I'm betting that those that love to cruise will be back after this passes. If NCL needs more cash to get through this rough patch I'm confident they'll be able to find it, considering money is cheap and easy to come by right now (this isn't 2008). Good news at the White House Press Conference earlier when Trump said that he'll help the cruise line industry if they ask. Now that Frank Del Rio guy, well I wouldn't be upset if the board replaced him. 😄 You are a brave man - The shares are permanently damaged and NCL's balance sheet is horrible. You missed one fact NCL were close to going bust in 2008 before Kevin Sheehan took over with Andy Stuart. Andy is probably the best CEO NCL will ever have and without him at the helm they are going to have a rocky ride. They have lost a whole season in Europe this year - it the most profitable if the quarter results are to be believed!! All ports in Italy and Spain will be closed for a long time. You have also fallen for the" fill the ships" - read the last quarter and the revenue projections. They had been selling to the Chinese market to fill cabins and it is finished for years to come. No one in their right mind will now lend for new ship builds as the risk profile is now too great. As for Trump helping the industry: He has a lot on his plate and the Airline industry also needs to be bailed out It is not politically expedient to "help the Rich" And who knows' once November come if he will even be in office Sad but I predict Chapter 11 is a strong possibility the next port of call. Hope I am wrong 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(after hours market is a different animal) and lets see what news this weekend on the details on how the govt is going to support the cruise lines during the 30day shutdown.

Rare JamieLogical Posted March 16, 2020 #262 Share Posted March 16, 2020 i am glad I bought Thursday at $9.83. Despite the cancellation of all cruises on Friday and the rest of the market plummeting, I am actually still up almost $200 right now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ziggyuk Posted March 16, 2020 #265 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) There is one thing worth noting, despite the stock being so low there is no recorded insider buying.

nhtravels Posted March 16, 2020 #267 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda... I can beat myself up for not pulling the plug on Friday. Or just be happy that I'm in under $11.50.

Too many worries at this point about bankruptcy. I don't want to get left holding the bag full of worthless stock certificates. That's just me though, other investors have different time lines and risk assessments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted March 16, 2020 #269 Share Posted March 16, 2020 No more shares for me. I bought 100 with the money I would have otherwise used in the casino.

Da-Painter Posted March 16, 2020 #270 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just because the price is low, does not mean its a 'good buy'. We call this a 'suckers play'. Wait, and you will find out why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lupush Posted March 16, 2020 #272 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I still believe it will get to the $4-$6 range (possibly by the end of the week). I'll take a flyer on it at that price, but staying far, far away from this until then. Cruises are going to be the last to rebound from this once all is said an done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I totally agree with you. The die hards will continue to cruise but building a new customer base will be challenging. I think there will be excess capacity for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted March 16, 2020 #274 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I made my first options trade in over 10 years this morning. Bought the March 20th 12.50 when it was at 10.34 and sold it when it hit 13.07. I also took my casino money for my cancelled cruise and gambled. In a couple of hours I made enough for a nice haven cruise. Problem is now I am stuck to my computer screen looking for more home runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

($5700 profit?) how hard is it to learn to trade options? link to (free) website to teach you? Edited March 16, 2020 by fstuff1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
