This is about the best and cheapest time to do a cruise. We're considering a 1200 quid river cruise, all inc, Douro river with emerald, usually 3.5 grand. No extras at all, a tour each day, free drinks, superior cabin Only problem is it finishes 3 days before our Ventura cruise starts. Utube videos of it look fantastic. We've yet to do a river cruise.

We did 2 back2back cruises on Azura in May. 3 nights in a 5 star hotel in Valletta, followed Wed by 2 x 7 night back2back cruises on a balcony. All for less than £1200 each including flights.... Plus shareholders obc.Going to Norway on Tuesday for a 2 week Cruise with Hurtigruten.

Sam, we are on different planets. You do 6 successful trades and make a profit of 9 shares, being currently eighty quid. I retired and have lived off shares since before I was 50.You trade, I'll invest. Each to their own. And please don't lie about me.Back on topic, looking forward to QM2 world cruise leg next Feb, where no doubt I'll get champagne and lobster. Just negotiating my shareholder discount which they are currently refusing, but negotiated 400 dollars obc for the fcd they refused. Also on the Ventura in December - what a fantastic and great value product CCL sell.

Something spooked the shares, maybe Pierre is buying

[jan-mar] 26/10/2023 11:47

Once it gets back above his average £10 he'll be back

Pierre
You call people who are making money naive when it is proven by your own admission that the way you are investing is losing money. Before I said that you have a chip on your shoulder I was wrong you have an inferiority complex, you drink champagne when it is free you eat lobster when it is free but will not pay for it suggests you do not really like them that much but you think that is what well to do people like and you want to be like them.
You do not use stop losses (stop profits as you call them) because that would mean you would have to admit that you got it wrong which you can not do if you hold on to HVO for long enough they might get up to 47p, 1p higher than their previous high then you can say look I was right to hold ignoring the fact that you could have taken an 800% profit and reinvested that in something that did not lose 70% of its value and take 6 years to get back there.
I was talking to a scaffolder friend the other day and ongoing through his "trading style" we came to the conclusion he was more worried about losing profits than losing money and I believe Pierre you are the same.

Would've, could've, should've - the words of losers.

We are all retrospective millionaires. Can't you lot see that 'You should've bought 3 weeks ago and sold at 10:32 yesterday' is the most pointless waste of time - and important only to those who'll never get anywhere investing or gambling. It shows unimaginable naivety.

[blueball] 22/10/2023 12:14

In the papers today talk of war and of waste.

[jan-mar] 22/10/2023 10:50

Keep dreaming the dream next year Pierre, it is always next quarter or next year with you. The bubble has burst on CCL, you would have been better off in a Nat West 2 year cash ISA, 5.65 percent. Or with an average of £10 pound, so you say, you could have locked in 35 percent profit.

[sambuca] 21/10/2023 19:58

Pierre the master of buy and hold HVO from 5p up to 46p and all the way back to 19.5p
Followed CF into spc they must be down about 70% now.
Bought ccl at 1325 and holding now at 813.
Does not use a stop loss as he calls it a stop profit.
It is no wonder you can not pay $17 for lobster on a cruise.

Keep dreaming the dream jm. Next year Rodney. Anyone who uses retrospection as an argument gets gratification from what they should have done, even though they lose by what they actually do, in 70/80 % of the cases. Basically, traders are dreamers. Coincidentally, I just put a post relevant here on the lgen board. Would you like to disclose your real, true, actual experience jm?I'm afraid my view of your previous post is your mind is closed and you are too worried about having a 'trader' image and you priorities and thoughts will keep you from ever making decent cash from the stock market.Still, each to their own.

[jan-mar] 20/10/2023 19:17

In actual fact IG Index do tell you before you open an account to spread bet that 70 percent of spread bets lose money. You do have to take a test to ensure you do understand how it all works. We could of course be an investor like you holding shares at an average of 10 pounds, watch them go to 13.80 and then down to 8.40, not the smartest strategy. I get a very fancy and expensive brochure from Cunard every few week's offering me all sorts of on board spending, so not sure the shareholders benefit counts for too much these days unless you cruise a lot. The debt burden in this business will hold it back for years to come. Anyone in at a decent profit at any time should lock in that profit. Anyway good luck to anyone in short or long I hope money can be made

[blueball] 20/10/2023 08:12

Off again this am.

[jan-mar] 19/10/2023 18:37

Did you offload

[smurfy2001] 19/10/2023 17:15

Good luck.

[jan-mar] 19/10/2023 16:32

I could be tempted at that price

[blueball] 19/10/2023 16:30

Looking to buy @500p.

[smurfy2001] 19/10/2023 16:26

Jan, reckon 700p ?

[pierre oreilly] 19/10/2023 13:29

We hear that all the time jm. Very volatile, so traders are making a fortune, selling at the top and buying at the bottom and repeating that.

Only the statistics say 80% of traders lose the lot eventually. It's almost 50/50 guessing up or down, but there are costs taken out, so not zero sum.

The facts are in the warnings the trading facilitators must make when punters want to open a trading account. Not sure why you argue the opposite implying all traders make lots of cash during volatile times - 80% don't. It's hardly in the account providers' interests to say 'you're very likely to lose if you open a trading account' now is it?

[jan-mar] 19/10/2023 13:17

Only the traders making money on this share at the moment walked up and down at will. Still not involved in these

[tradejunkie2] 19/10/2023 11:39

With rising oil prices, wars, sticky inflation, high interest rates this is no longer an appealing investment.

[pierre oreilly] 19/10/2023 10:39

Jeeze, I didn't realise everyone was so desperate for my input. Soz, can't help you traders, there's no solution unfortunately, odds are very much you'll lose your lot.

Daughter about to drop a baby at any instant, so busy atm.

Only news is the misplaced admin people at Cunard have refused my future cruise credit and shareholder benefit on my qm2 world cruise bit. They say it's due to the fare code Imagine used - means nothing to me, how am I supposed to know? Anyhow, currently asking them to 'exceed expectations' and give a bit of 'white star service' they constantly go on about in the daily bumph they send me. I've never had an fcd or shareholder benefit request refused before. That won't be a good decision if they stick to their guns.

Pan, there's some great deals on iona and arvia atm, wish i could get on one, but no time atm. Next for us is december on Ventura. Organised by people we met dancing on other cruises, so of course 100 quid more pp than they are charging atm.

btw, finger nails in tact, but that's the sort of rash deductions traders come to, and why they shouldn't be traders (in fact, no one should imv).

[panshanger1] 19/10/2023 10:34

Next Friday *

[panshanger1] 19/10/2023 10:33

On the P&O Arvia transatlantic from Southampton on Friday Will report back from the sharp end when on board Pierre very quiet atm

[jan-mar] 19/10/2023 09:52

Good luck, unstable world at the moment I think it will continue to drift down
