You have junk bonds with lower YTM numbers. Their dividend won't be paid, or at the very least dropped to very low, they got a lot bigger debtors standing in front before the stock holders!

I look at it as way to support Carnival as Princess has provided me a way to visit many places and have great memories. I want them to survive. Psst, buying their stock isn't the way you support them. Booking a cruise and spending money buying tours and drinks and speciality restaurants will be how you most support them when cruising comes back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have three cruises booked this year for 30 days total, which will put me at 31 Princess cruises ($50 loyalty Credit hopefully) and 2 Princess cruises next year.

With all your the sky is falling responses since this has started. You give the impression that you are giddy/happy that CCL is tanking. Do you own stock? Have you ever taken a Princess cruise. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually tax loss harvesting is a good (IMHO) strategy. I harvested my CCL losses in 1 account (reported loss significantly higher than real loss as I took OBC all along the way) and will reinvest when it hits my limit price in another TYPE of account thus avoiding Wash Rule. If I get it at my limit price it'll take 3 cruises to bring my net investment to $0. I've got 2 booked with 500 OBC.

Rare Paula_MacFan Posted March 19, 2020 #87 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I bought shares yesterday at $8.85 and will hope for the best. At that price it won't take long to recoup our investment as OBC, assuming they continue that benefit. I think I know the answer but wasn't able to find definitive info on the stockholder site -- do you get any OBC for cruisetour days? Or is it just the number of days at sea on the cruise? I think it's just the cruise days, but wasn't 100% positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I want back in when they're jumping out But that's a question for an active trader network not a cruising network. (Still keeping my limit order @ 3×OBC and 2 of those are TAs but I readily acknowledge that I'm greedy) Edited March 19, 2020 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare trbarton Posted March 21, 2020 #97 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Boy Carnival Stock has really taken a dive. In December 2019 it was $43 a share. Today it’s $12 a share. This would be a good time to by shares if you’re wanting the stock credit. You only need 100 shares. Let’s all hope that things will rebound.

billco Posted March 21, 2020 Author #98 Share Posted March 21, 2020 My wife asked me this morning why I was buying Carnival stock and not NCL stock. We have done 6 NCL cruises and have another one booked for next Spring and don't have their shareholder credit. So, Monday I am buying 100 shares of NCL stock. It doesn't have all the benefits of of Princess OBC, but enough to make it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
