They retired 10-15 years ago...as did my in-laws. Yep, some pretty bleak statistics for many Boomers. I'm a millennial myself. Start early and your gold. Unfortunately some folks dont or cant start saving until their already in their 50's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They retired 10-15 years ago...as did my in-laws. You are going to be shocked at how many people have literally no savings for retirement. At one point, I was "above average" in my age range. They said I was in the Top 5% and I felt I was only 20% of where I needed to be. Some odd 70% had less than $10k. This is the 50s age group. It is going to be a strange country when so many people only have SS to retire on, there is extremely limited cash, and they are physically not able to work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why CUK is lower than CCL? CUK is traded on the London exchange and I believe the price is in Pounds instead of Dollars. Also, there are a lot less shares traded there so that may account for a bit of price spread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted June 15, 2022 #63 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Carnival continues to trade in single digits and today CCL announced they are moving the 13 year old Costa Luminesa to Carnival. We already know the rumor mills are flying about selling off Seabourn to the Saudi Sovereignty. Maybe sell off Costa? Who knows, but this move is odd to me. The Carnival Luminesa will have a Polar Ice Cert, so that is worth something. But still very odd. https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/27685-costa-luminosa-to-transfer-to-carnival-cruise-line.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two ship movements today. Costa to carnival (does NOT have polar cert) and rcl purchased a crystal ship (which does have a polar cert) to add to Silverstein cruises.

I just got gifted 100 shares from my parents since we're cruising more and the stock was low ... at the time ($17). I'm sure my dad is kicking himself right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghGirlee Posted June 15, 2022 #70 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Just an F.Y.I. and my own personal experience. I have not received the Stock Option OBC $100.00 for a 7 days cruise, for my past 3 cruises due to the deeply discounted rate. In the past, I was still given the OBC, not any longer. Cheers!!

Pertinent would have worked there too, but as a shareholder of 4,000 shares who only bought 1,200 of them below the current price, seeing the recent financial statements evokes a deep sense of sadness and regret. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted June 15, 2022 #75 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Rate hike came out today. Read it was the biggest since 94. I thought the market would go down afterwards, but I was wrong. It went up. I guess the big fall a couple of days ago accounted for the hike. The feds says to anticipate another one. I am far from a financial expert, but it seems to me that the rate hikes aren't going to have a huge impact on inflation when one of the main causes of inflation are supply issues for things people need (formula, tampons, gas, etc.) rather than an increase in demand for things they want. For example, I heard another report that claimed there was a tampon shortage due to increased demand. Ummm....pretty flipping sure there isn't a dramatic increase in demand overnight for tampons. A bunch of women didn't get together and decide to start a new trend of having a period. This is clearly a supply issue (like formula) or either that the materials/components are being used to make other products that have seen an increase in demand. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
