But there's a big difference in buying at $5 and buying at $9 when you're talking about buying 100 shares. It went down to $7 something in 2020. I doubt it will go below 8. Been watching the stock market channel all day long and no one really knows where the bottom is. One lady said at 3600 (what it hit today) nibble. At 3300, bite. At 3000, go all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had an order I put in yesterday at $8.33 that never hit so it didn't go down as low as PP said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eli_6 Posted June 17, 2022 #128 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I also have 100 of NCL and RCCL just in case I cruise with them. RCCL is more expensive, though. But it is like $35ish now and got up to $80+ a few months ago so I think it will go up. Most of my RCCL is at like $27-30 so I know it got down that low at one point back in 2020.

Sailor75 Posted June 18, 2022 #130 Share Posted June 18, 2022 You don't have to hold the stock to get the onboard credit, I sometimes buy and immediately sell. All you need is the paper that shows you bought it, I've used that months later too. I'm not sure how long it's good for, but I'm not sending Carnival my statement, that's none of their business.

It’s a fun way to invest some OBC. This is a good change for the bettor. Didn't know Princess had something either. Turn some of the gift shops into sportsbar-brewpubs may be more attractive to new cruisers, not to mention old cruisers. Maybe they should introduce cruising-keno to keep the revenue flowing.

Kenito Posted June 19, 2022 #140 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I am a long-term CCL stockholder. I should have sold enough to recoup my initial investment when it was in the high $70s and be trading for free, but did not. CCL is not the only stock I should have sold high... 🙃 but among the many gifts God issued to me at birth, a crystal ball was not among them. In my portfolio of real estate, retirement mutual funds, small roll-over IRA accounts where I trade, CCL is not the focus, but the good thing is that it has been mobil and I expect it to remain that way. Now may be the time for some quick buys and sells as it moves. Friday I moved just 10% of my other mutual funds into cash. Starting Monday I'm going to be watching CCL and taking buying opportunities. If it goes up to $12.50 from Friday's close, that's a 30% increase. $12.50 is not an unreasonable goal within the reasonable future. CDC could make a favorable announcement and 30% could be an easy goal to meet. I can put in a sell order and wait... 30% is not bad. Even with terrible losses in my CCL stock, the long arc has me still with a 36% increase, so I'm not in a sweat. I'm not saying this to prove myself a wizard, nothing like that at all... and I'm not, to be sure. But it is my perspective. My daddy said, "you never lose money making money." So buying is not a permanent decision. Buy and enjoy being a stockholder of something you really know, follow, and enjoy! Ride out the low points and take the long-term view. I think CCL is a good stock to practice this in... but I'm just an amateur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These discussions have an underlying bifurcation that the casual viewer misses. Some, like me, are simply seeking a shareholder benefit - that is an easy calculation and the risk is calculated over a very short term. Those who invest need to do a more significant analysis.

Tom Shareholders get anything left after the staff get paid. But it is rare for a business to go bankrupt when there is anything for shareholders.
