That's funny wad! Obviously, the Chinese situation has something to do with it, so only 95% Barlow imv.

[wad collector] 27/1/2020 09:56

Down 5% this morning ; is Barlow that bad?

[toffeeman] 16/1/2020 09:08

Gazza probably needs the dosh because of his well publicised tax problems - I wouldn't use him if I were the boss of P&O.

The moment we've been waiting for, so p&o says. Gary Barlow is the new brand ambassador, whatever that means. While an excellent singer and songwriter imv, he seems to be a personality vacuum - much better singing and writing than talking. Not sure he's a great choice. He has a slow monotone Manchester soporific drool, maybe they're aiming for the insomniac market. Saw a new deal yesterday with p&o combining a Dubai cruise with a qe2 stay, just up my street so got that booked for a years time. It's on the Oceana, never been on that, but from a quick google looks a very impressive ship.

When it is broker arithmetic.

since when is a 200p raise to 300p above current price not a buy?

You maybe right Toffeeman,protecting my profits & watching,cyclicals have had some strong returns of late , recession fears put on the back burner,last recession 2008 divi was stopped.It's open to debate what value you put on a cyclical at this juncture of the cycle,"might of been a turning point today",(hope so for holders on here),wishing you all a happy Xmas.

[toffeeman] 24/12/2019 14:58

CJ You may have called it wrong because if it holds the current level then it should rise steadily - 3550 looks to be a key level But wtfdik!

Ian King in Times Business News made 10 predictions for 2020 on world and UK economies generally. This came in at No 9: 9. Shares of Carnival Corporation will finish 2020 higher. The world’s biggest cruise line operator had an awful 2019, its shares falling by nearly 25 per cent from their high in early February, reflecting factors including poor weather, delayed ship delivery, higher fuel prices and weak consumer confidence in Europe. Yet the stock is now at distressed levels and trades at less than ten times expected future earnings, a rating last seen during the financial crisis

There comes a point though where fundamentals cause a breakout when a share becomes oversold. I'm new to CCl purely because it fits my search for an income share which has future growth possibilities. Looking ahead the future seems promising. I bought 200 back in Oct and up 15% since so fingers crossed.

[contrarian joe] 24/12/2019 12:16

Watching that Toffeman,sold out yesterday on that chart!!,a key area at the moment.

[toffeeman] 24/12/2019 09:42

Looks like it could be breaking the downtrend in place since mid 2018

[silverfern] 24/12/2019 07:32

Should tick up to just above £37 to equate to US price. A nice Xmas present - what I cant understand is not why the shares fell but why so much, esp with the buy back- the company obviously thought they were oversold. still it allowed me to buy in. The savings in fuel pricing should support the current position imho, all else sticks to plan.

[pierre oreilly] 21/12/2019 08:01

Fortunately, no one injured (edit, latest reports say one injury). I wonder if the captains were celebrating ccl's results? Or would pilots have been in charge at that point? Onto happier things I discovered last night that the cruise we've been booked on for a couple of years is now going to be a musical theatre cruise. Great news for us, we've been on p&o music festivals, but they stopped a few years ago, been looking for others ever since. What an amazing stroke of luck for us. It's the May NY to soton cruise

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-latin-america-50873559/two-cruise-ships-collide-in-the-caribbean Aargh not what we want to hear . Both Carnival.

I bought 50 shares in October and added the 2nd 50 just before the close yesterday.The shares had retested the breakout of triple bottom which was the reason I bought at that time.

[the white house] 20/12/2019 15:35

Heavy US buying

[tlobs2] 20/12/2019 14:59

Excellent results. Its flying ! :-)

[wad collector] 20/12/2019 14:26

Q4 results impressive.

Stepped off the queen vic yesterday to be well and truly brought back to earth by our rip-off taxi drivers followed by our rail system. Talk about chalk and cheese. Beautiful weather, excellent food, interesting table sharers - one an explosive demolition owner whose mate was Fred Dibnah, another a dancing digger driver (got to google that in a mo) - where else would you get that? If anyone's interested, the $700 obc worked a treat for a 10 day cruise - paid the tips, a tour to see the dancing horses and sherry production, a meal at the steakhouse or whatever it's called these days, some expensive (v expensive at cunard's prices) aftershave, some equivalent for the wife, a couple of bottles of wine and sufficient other booze for us each quiz and dance affair (we don't drink a lot). Even had 75cents left in the account, so a donation to cunard's coffers. The dancing element, which we can now attempt, along with everything else, made this one of the most enjoyable so far for us. Now just got to get rid of the 3kilos i put on.

Rumour has it that there used to be ships that crossed the oceans without oil , coal or nuclear. Not going to be an easy conversion for QM2.

[purplepelmets] 05/12/2019 07:09

I hear the engine in the Kursk is still running. Try that in an electric one, would cark it in the first thunder storm
