Bitf is the thing everyone is doing. Considering a slower burn CCL and BGSF could pop or drop. They've announced a special div which is 25% of the share price to be issued on the 30th. Ex div date is 23rd. It was sitting at x36 normal volume on close Friday. Will be interesting to watch
Guess it depends on how much conviction you have in the stock. I sold CCL at 98% gain and it increased maybe 2-3% since, but I’m fine with that. I’m at 220% gain on SOFI, but I won’t sell that for years to come. I’m confident it’ll be my first 10 bagger, especially if/when it gets added to the SP500.

Yuup made big on CCL still holding 18k in NClh calls and 8k in January dvn calls
I feel bad for anyone who didn’t put money into CCL when it was at its low. Stock has been doing nothing but good since and I’m up over 100%.
Hedging is like home/car/health insurance. It's a total waste of money until you need it. AFAIC, this is throwaway money after a large market run up that has increased the value of my portfolio. Giving back 1/2 to 1% gives me some piece of mind. When Covid hit in 2020, I had several 1,000 share large cap positions that lost 50% of their value. CCL was down even more. Ughhh. Fortunately, I had collars on many positions as well as these index spreads and with the market down 35%, I was down less than 10%. That's not hard to recover from, in any recession.
Swung bull and bmnr Friday. Thinking about dash and CCL puts. Hmmm.
I recently sold my CCL. Also bought 100 shares of that of the OBC then found they don't offer it if cruising on a casino offer. I had a price of $29 in my mind. Sold when it hit that.
No way… a CCL post on WSB? Options are one risky mf on CCL. I’ve watched the 30% spreads up and down for over 5 years. 1003 shares
Context - this is combined view of a few accts mostly joint retirement accounts. Not about to buy a yacht:) Also was in TSM for a while before moving to SOXX tech index… was too conservative post tariff scare and still have some uninvested but have continued to DCA some in each pay check. Not in plug or rivn currently - also got into BRKB in a way bigger way than I should have right before Warren announced retirement and has dipped since a bit. Have some CCL from a while back just 100 shares to get stateroom credit, it’s positive but a small portion of total.
I have a very strong conviction the CCL will be a sub $15 stock in a year
Yea it’s like a whole other language lol I’m in a trade right now CCL . All I know is it’s green and I’m +11 right now lol
Don't forget to short CCL (Carnival) and lose even more!
I lost a fuck ton of money buying NIO and SPCE at the top and all the way down. My biggest gains are from QQQ, and buy CCL and RCL during Covid dip
It's the sign of inverse trending. No, joking. I saw that in multiple companies, CCL had that too friday.

Carnival Corp (CCL) +25% 1M
CCL easiest calls of my life and still somehow wsbets is just absent on the trade Maybe I’ll actually make money this time around.
I thought after the success of "Poop Cruise" that CCL would drop.
Yeah, the ticker *CCL* definitely has that "Carnival" vibe to it — kind of ironic considering how volatile cruise stocks have been post-COVID. But don't let the name fool you: Carnival has been steadily rebuilding its balance sheet, and with demand for leisure travel back in full swing, it’s starting to look more like a turnaround story than a punchline
The fact that you idiots didn’t see the CCL trade and are also the poories taking cruises is hilarious.
Specifically, if it helps, I own a Sep25 CCL call at $27 strike. Bought it for $1.21 a week ago It’s more than 100% profit
I'm in Carnival, Royal & Viking right now. Sold Norwegian, b/c they were less ROI than others, and I wanted to reposition $ to other things. I feel cruise stocks are seasonal / cyclical. If we try to smooth out the lunatic fringe stuff, like COVID and trump's rug pulls, you notice they start to go up in January and then taper off around August. I thikn more folks are cruising during spring breaks and summer vacations, as opposed to thanksgiving and christmas when folks are doing family get togethers. I was going to sell my positions around August in anticipation of a drop-off, then buy them bakc around December like I did with RCL last year. There's also a perk that if you hold 100 shares of a cruise line they give you bonus cash to spend on a cruise if you go. But, 100 shares of a cruise company is a lot (RCL and CCL esp). In regards to cruises, they've gotten better since COVID. Wife and I did Carnival post COVID, and it was awful. Food was awful. Ship was mainly shops and activities were mainly them trying to get you to buy stuff. But, I have coworkers that have gone cruising lately, and the cruises are getting better with activities, food, etc. Royal Carribean is doing better, b/c they offer a better experience. Carnival has turned into the poor person's cruise company. But, lots of folks use it, b/c it's cheap compared to flying to a resort.
CCL dropped with COVID and never fully recovered to those levels, although its close now. So watch out for that $30 level as there are going to be bag holders ready to get out.
Nice gains so far — you're riding the recovery wave like a pro cruiser! 🚢 That said, CCL and NCLH hitting $60 again isn’t impossible, but it's not just about post-COVID rebound anymore. Debt loads are *heavy*, margins are tight, and interest rates aren’t doing them any favors. If travel demand keeps booming and they manage their debt like adults, sure, long-term upside exists. But don’t expect a straight line — cruise stocks are like actual cruises: sometimes smooth, sometimes stormy, and always a little overpriced at the buffet. Diversify a bit if you haven’t already. Love for cruising is great — just don’t let it be your whole portfolio compass.

Looks like some, like CCL, uses a company called StockPerks (https://stockperks.com/) to manage their perks systems so can see a comprehensive, but not exhaustive, list there too. If you want some eggs, then VITL offers free 18-pack of eggs every quarter if you have 100 or more shares.
Yep, CCL offers up to $250 for onboard credit if you own 100 shares same as NCLH. Looks like RCL has a $1,000 onboard credit tier but that's their world cruises. Other than that, aligned with the other two.
I’m up +234% on my CCL calls today and I sold at the top, I’m getting some hookers and cocaine tonight.
Win or lose. Idgaf cause CCL shot up and I’m up good.
CCL cruisin baby ! (Pun intended)
CCL finally doing me some good (knock on wood)
Last time I played CCL calls the fuckin Baltimore bridge come tumbling down, 2nd times the charm I hope.
Just watched Poop Cruise on Netflix. CCL Calls?
Lately it’s been a lot of JBLU, AAL, WBD, and ACHR. But I’ve thrown in CCL, NCLH, PFE and a handful of others in the past. It’s a bit of a rotation, I’ll do these few for a while and then the other group will get me a bit more premium so I’ll swap them out. I don’t pay attention to the Greeks as I don’t buy the contracts back. I just let them play out however they do. If anything, I’ll occasionally throw in a buy of a further put and create a credit spread to hedge it if there’s particularly bad news that’s going to tank the stock but that’s only happened a handful of times and were ultimately not necessary.
Lots of upside to CCL after cool down from earnings, new ATH in the coming 3 weeks or so
I have to play it safe and go CCL 27$ calls exp jul 18
CCL is Cheesecake Factory on the sea
CCL BABY. Just need NcLh to follow already
100 shares of cruise line stocks gets you onboard credit on cruises, amount depends on length of the cruise. I know that’s the case for NCLH, I’m sure probably RCL and CCL too.

Why's everyone sleeping on CCL? I'm thinking of YOLOing a call...
So I've been profitable on about 70% of my options... The losses I have are usually small, and about half of my wins are small too, but the other half are 80% or greater. I just pulled 114% profit on CCL last week, after holding it for about ten days. Am I doing it wrong? My losses are only like 20%, except for some lottery tickets I bought for like $20 that completely flopped.
No clue but damn I love me some CCL
I have some CCL calls expiring January 2026. The call dropped 98.7% today to $0.01 The stock is up 6.2% today. Price is $23.63 and breakeven is $34.62 I understand I have a huge uphill climb to even break even but why did it zero out when the stock is actually up today?
*Hold on, CCL…..I’m gonna…..riiight there…riiiiighht THEREEE!!* 🍆💦😫
Ehh dealer’s choice, tbh. On one hand going further out gets you more cash due to time value, on the other it gives the stock more time to move in either direction, sometimes in your benefit sometimes not. I chose weekly because it was a good balance of time and met my rate of return goals. But it’s different for everyone based on what they are looking for. Weekly worked for me so I stick to it. The major key is that it keeps emotion out of it. Yeah there will be times when a stock price will climb higher than what you will be assigned to sell it for, but you can’t chase the money being left on the table. Chasing is where people can lose, but if you leave it very structured and procedural it can treat you well. And in that example $25 was the stock price and the $50 was the option premium (listed at 0.50 but the final price is always that x100 shares). I don’t think CCL is doing that now, last time I checked a week ago or so it was a $23 price selling a weekly put for $25 (0.25/share for the contract) or something. It’s not always the same each week but roughly around the same percentage. I personally always do the trade on Mondays for that Friday.
Yeah the more pricey the shares, the more the options tend to be. I always say though to look at percentage gains, not the dollar amount. If it’s too pricey, go for a lower option for a bit! I personally used CCL for a while ($25ish range at the time, $50 option credits per week), and I know AAL is $11 and change last I checked and weekly options are $18ish. I personally like to do weekly but when I started that wasn’t recommended, it just always worked for me! But it’s a lower risk strategy, and therefore lower reward. It’s definitely not a strategy to get rich overnight on, but it can be consistent if done right!
Yeah I feel you. SPY and QQQ can get pricey real quick. Some cheaper ones I trade that still move well are PLTR, SOFI, DKNG, and sometimes RIOT or MARA if you're okay with a little more volatility. Ford (F) and CCL are also good if you want something slower and cheaper. Main thing is finding stocks with good volume and clean price action. I’m in a Bulltrix Trading group that focuses mostly on SPY(93% Win Rate) and other tickers...that if you ever want to check it out
It’s a buy. Their debt is about 15B more than before Covid but they have been paying it off significantly YOY. See this chart: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/CCL/carnival/long-term-debt They’ve also been pretty successful in restructuring debt. They cut their debt from 32.5B down to 25B over 2.25 years. And the returns haven’t been bad. 55% over the past year. 165% over three years. If you look at pre-COVID — their dividend was about 2 dollars per share per year on 1B outstanding shares. So they paid out 2B in straight cash before Covid which shows you how much profit they print. Once they get their debt back to precovid levels which is about 2-3 years at the current rate I’m sure the dividend and also stock price will return. That’s assuming we don’t hit a recession or world war because both would sink CCL (see 2008) If you think about it, for every billion in debt they pay off and a billion shares outstanding — their price should go up a dollar per share. If that’s the case — at 23 dollars per share and only 15B over pre COVID levels for debt, they are currently under valued (38 vs 50 per share).
If I were you, I would sell a covered call on the 100 shares at 220 for Jan 16, 2026. I think it will earn you about $1,600 by that time if it doesn’t reach that price. Think about it as earning 7% interest on your 23k investment… better than current high yield savings account :) And you can buy another 16 shares to do 2 covered calls. And if the stocks go up, you are happy to part with them. I did this to my CCL that I bought at $30 4-years ago and able to bring down the average cost down to near the stock price now.
