You do it you sell it today, but that was the point. It's only a loss if you sell it today at $25 and you paid $35. Tomorrow, it could be a $40, and you would have made $500 (although not likely). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Talisi Posted March 9, 2020 #341 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Ask Yourself this question. Why did you buy or why are you considering buying Carnival stock? For several years as the stock had very little movement the reason to purchase should have been based on a combination of dividend return and OBC when on a cruise. Now as the stock has drastically dropped those same two factors are still in play. The dividend could possibly remain the same or in most stock situations drop. One thing that will not drop soon will be the OBC. It is actually possible that it might increase as Carnival uses it as an incentive to both buy stock and cruise. Persons who just started cruising more than once a year and in particular those that go on 14 or more day cruises can experience a quick return of their investment. Just one a half years ago the price was at $60 a share, right now it is at $22.73 and fluctuating. History says that the stock will go back up it is just how long is a mystery. The other factor that will help the cruise industry lower costs is the dramatic decrease in fuel prices. The industry does not purchase from the pump it buys contracts for a stable price. Bottom line is right now you are better off either not worrying about it or buying. The gamble is how much lower will it go? 4 Link to post Share on other sites

My broker thought CCL OBC will still be offered as an incentive to cruise on CCL. Good luck to all of you that are in for the wild ride down. Maybe you should by more CCL to dollar average your cost? Hopefully you will live long enough to realize your stock recovering to what you paid for it. Edited March 9, 2020 by Justalone 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. If a company reorganizes because they cannot pay their debts, stockholders will be below the debt holders and will get nothing. A new stock will be issued and the old stock will be wiped out. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
