CCL - Carnival Stock it Floats

Cruiseships are one of the last remaining reopening trades.  The trade is set to benefit greatly as schools get ready to reopen into September.

It looks excellent for a turn now with a reversal on the weekly bar.

  1. CCL low is likely in place now and we have a strong reversal.

    We have a good sense of timing with the next high due in late September or Early October.

  2. So u expecting high in spx at that time

  3. SPX continues to grind up steadily towards the blue line. I haven't been interested shorting SPX or volatility.

    Let the reopening finish.

    The bears will have better luck once the schools reopen.

    3. Sc You make it sound like we can't have a 100 point drop on SPX that could clearly happen

    7. Sami, let's give this time to finish the rally. This can typically burn a lot of time. Then we can talk about the downside target and timing.

    1. SC - previously you mentioned an August surprise - will this potentially be a cause for an SPX selloff?

      Delete
    2. We'll have to wait and see on this because they haven't set the date yet. I'm sure we'll hear more soon...

    2. Russia and China have now traded in dollars under 50%, the lowest ever, 4 years ago it was 90% of all interbanking, trade, money exchange etc. They are following thru on their desire to end the dollar hegemoney....plus it will be easier for them to launder without the eyes of regulators behind the dollar

    1. It is getting close to the blue SPX. It may overthrow a little just like it undercut in March.

  17. Bookings coming in guys!!!

    "And yet, people are still booking cruises, something that Norwegian Cruise Line CEO Frank Del Rio is both surprised and encouraged by.

    “If you had told me that we were going to be facing these set of circumstances, and your question is, ‘Frank, would you be taking any bookings?’ I would have laughed at you. I’ll say, ‘Of course, not, who would book? It’s crazy,'” Del Rio said in response to a question on the company’s second quarter earnings call on Thursday. “But people are booking. People are confident that we’re going to come back."

  21. If you want a short, check out FSLY. It had a huge run recently, but they announced that most of their business comes from TikTok and Trump said he was going to ban TikTok. However, you shouldn't hold the position overnight, as MSFT has expressed interest in buying TikTok.

  22. I'll throw a bone to the bears.

    My suggestion is to wait until after school. SPX will drop just as fast as it did in March.

    ReplyDelete
  23. After schools open in September I plan to short heavily frontrunning the November US Election.

    The crater will look like Beirut.

  24. Will post volatility chart. It does spectacular big picture.

  25. SC, do you still see a surprise big drop in SPX in August? or just a grind up into a major September High now?
