Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted February 24 #1 Share Posted February 24 New article on Cruise Industry News: Viking Said to Have Filed for IPO I don't give financial advice, but this is intriguing. Apparently the most successful cruise line in history, but run by a guy with a big ego like it is his personal company [which until now it was]. Who does that remind me of? Edited to add: Apparently I have to spell it out: Elon Musk. [@Coral got it, but not everybody...] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Coral Posted February 24 #7 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Elon....... Sadly as I own some stock. I wonder if there will be any benefit to own stock if sailing Viking. Forget that, I won't sail Viking. If I was to bet, the stock would do well. Edited February 24 by Coral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted February 24 #8 Share Posted February 24 Interesting move. Mr. Hagen is not the youngest. Time to think what will be in a few years time? 52 minutes ago, Coral said: Forget that, I won't sail Viking. If I was to bet, the stock would do well. I would not touch that stock and never sail with Viking. You know, business ethics and all that. I would also assume that there is enough confidence in the stock, despite the large losses that happened during the WHO-thrown-onto-us-all pandemic. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't know there are any other companies! Like you, I have no desire to sail them due to their business practices. I no longer have cruise line stock. More stable businesses to invest in 🙂 Edited February 24 by Coral 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
