No I rode it last month from .40 to .43 but then sold. I normally don’t hold anything more than a couple of days.

Other than Carnival. I’m holding my 1,500 shares and want to see at least $17 before I sell.

This is probably the same, general Sched that the Saudis are looking at. I suppose if the movie theatres, themeparks, sporting events, airlines/subways/trains, Parks / Anything with public gatherings return to a portion of normalcy, then so will ship cruises.

I look at it like: a new start-up (small, incremental business/revenue will Possibly start in a few months/Qtrs 3-4)

Found this last night. If these dates are correct, cruises are a definite BUY.

Update: When Carnival Cruise Line Ships Are Expected to Start Sailing Again

What’re your guys thoughts on the oil industry? I’m thinking we’re nearing the bottom for a lot of these companies and look for them to start the slow climb up as business begins to resume. Seems like a few in the sector could be a good long term value play.

I cracked up watching CHK reverse split yesterday, and then tanking 40%. Poor bastards that bought that, ouch.

So is JNUG betting that gold prices will rise or fall? Because it is a bull one and there is also a bear one.

Yeah so bull means gold up in price then I reckon? Because I always thought gold went opposite of the market.

Those two ETFs track the Junior Gold Miners Index. There are other ETFs that track the gold index and probably provide a more accurate movement with gold prices. GLD, UGLD (leveraged bull ETF tracking the gold index), and DGLD (leveraged inverse ETF on the gold index). Gold has historically traded against equity movement, but that trend decoupled over the last year or so.

Ok. Maybe this is the right thread to get some help. I am 37. the only "retirement" I have is social security. I am looking into getting into a target date fund for retirement. so like a 2050 target date fund. I clear about 50k a year. Thoughts on how much I should invest or who I should go with. I will be debt free in 4 years, so I have some debt.

A lot of answers depend on marital status, # of kids, type and amount of debt. Before you get crazy investing, do the following 4 things. This is my thoughts without knowing any specifics (Me and wife are both 40 so not much older than you)

1. Save up a bit of cash for an emergency. Amount depends on your risk tolerance/,occupation, etc.
2. Contribute to 401k at your employer up to the Company match. I'd lean towards an index fund (Vanguard or Fidelity is good). Beware, there's a lot of bad funds in 401ks so a Target Date fund there might be crap. Dont give up the free money with Company match. Morningstar is a decent site to analyze mutual funds within a 401k.
3. Knock out your non-mortgage debt. This may involve extra shifts, side hustle, selling stuff, detailed budget. This part will be painful.
4. If married/kids, make sure you have enough life insurance (term life) in case you die.

Once you have done those 4 things, I'd open up a Roth IRA. You (and spouse, if applicable) can each contribute 6,000 per year. That's $500 a month. Just have it taken out each month. Fidelity, Vanguard, T. Rowe Price, and Schwab all have low cost index or target date funds. If you cant do $500, you can do smaller amounts. All 4 are really good.

Ever looked into hiring a financial coach? Seems contradictory, but it’s amazing what having someone guide you and hold you accountable will do. They’re different from a financial advisor, so they don’t sell you on investment products. Usually just help you pay off debt, get control of your money, and work a plan based on your goals.
