Tom Granted right now there's not a lot of risk, at least not like when it was around $80 a share a few years ago. But there's a big difference in buying at $5 and buying at $9 when you're talking about buying 100 shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it doesn't matter where the floor is unless they go belly-up and then I would lose less than 1200 dollars. I bought my 100 shares when the stock went below $12. If you can't afford to take the loss you probably shouldn't be spending money on cruising either. Along with the shareholder benefit, I also bought for the long-term potential of the stock. Since I have three future cruises under the Carnival umbrella in the next 12 months, I should get $100, $250, and $100 OBC. That's a 37.5% dividend on a $1200 investment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a chance that Carnival could pull that benefit. I'm hoping they don't consider that for my "cashing in" cruise for our 75th Milestone benefit that we'll use next May. That should give us a few grand in OBC. Trying to upgrade to the Presidential Suite on the Celebration for that very reason - but they're both still booked... and I check daily. 🙂 Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date is given on the OBC form. It would require a shareholder vote to revoke. You can actually apply now for your OBC, there is no reason to wait Edited June 17, 2022 by Mary229 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe817 Posted June 17, 2022 #108 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The stock opened at $8.18 this morning. For 100 shares, that's less than the cost of cheers for a 7 day cruise. That's cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cheap. Either way you're sending $800 down the drain - either the commodes onboard or as a donation to Arnold Donald's retirement package. At least with the stock you can get an onboard credit benefit, unless you get free or nearly free cruises from the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bankruptcy reorganization. Shuffling around the shells in the game so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghGirlee Posted June 17, 2022 #118 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Bought my 1st set of 100 shares at $37.50 - Thought that was a bargain back then/2008ish 😞 Bought my 2nd set of 100 shares at $12.37 - Dunno Bought my 3rd set of 100 shares at $8.90 - I think that was when the Concordia flipped over, not 100% (2012) I am contemplating buying 100 more soon. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment or a hopeless dreamer!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me CCL is all about OBC, not an investment It never got close to high enough to offset my losses. If I buy 100 more now and it goes back up to 30 and I sell my 200 cheap shares, then it will offset my losses. Otherwise I’ll get the money back in OBC in about…..15 years.

I think I like option A so I bought another 100 at $9.59. Hopefully with 200 to sell it will get back high enough to get my full investment back and still have the other 100 for OBC.
