I presume credit card rebates are the same as our credit card cashbacks? there used to be many companies do it but now Amex are the only one (1% off the monthly spend). |

Early this year as I mentioned on the Coronavirus thread, I bought Carnival Cruise Lines stock (CCL) even though they were losing money. At that time Coronavirus cases were growing rapidly, but vaccines were coming. I bought at a little over $20 per share. The stock grew nicely up to $30, then leveled out. I became concerned because of the rise of the Delta variant and vaccine hesitancy. As I reported at the time I sold with a profit of over 30%.
This morning Carnival issued their fourth quarter earnings report ending in November which is linked below. Carnival was on the path to recovery, but Omicron wasn't around. The share price is up some today, but is still down to less than $19 per share. Should I buy?

If early reports on the effects / hospitalizations associated with Moronic continue, I expect it is going to be a dud in comparison to Delta. The question may be how the authorities react and how that effects the cruise lines. Those who can afford to cruise, will likely cruise ... if the powers that be don't make it terribly difficult to do so. |

If I new the answer to this I would be rich. Personally I think the Coronavirus threat is going to continue off and on for years. After Omicron there will be another and another. I would hold off and see how bad this latest threat is. There may be a pattern based on the weather that you can trade here. Last year the virus peaked in January. Perhaps wait until late January and jump in? Good luck and let us know how you do. |

As cynical as I have been about the PTB overplaying the virus, even I would not get on one of their floating petri dishes. |

I've posted my stock market moves here over the past few years. People probably don't care about what I am doing. But taking the time to think through, write down and share my thinking seems to help me achieve good results.
Yesterday, I provided some information on Carnival Cruises and asked for opinions on buying. I ended up buying the stock before yesterday's close.
Here's a 'snip' from my Fidelity account earlier today showing the shares in my account.

US Economy 2022 Preview: Could the Great Asset and Credit Bubbles Burst?
US Economy 2022 Preview: Could the Bubbles Pop? In recent years, accurate economic forecasting has not been the economic profession’s strong suit.
In 2008, it spectacularly failed to anticipate the Great Economic Recession despite the advanced signals that the US housing and credit market bubbles were about to burst. In 2021, with very few exceptions, it failed to anticipate that inflation would accelerate to a forty-year high. It failed to do so despite the excessive monetary and fiscal policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic at a time of major global supply chain problems.
2022 looks like it might be another year in which the economics profession in general gets caught very flatfooted with its forecasts.
Desmond Lachman joined AEI after serving as a managing director and chief emerging market economic strategist at Salomon Smith Barney. He previously served as deputy director in the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Policy Development and Review Department and was active in staff formulation of IMF policies.

At AEI, Mr. Lachman is focused on the global macroeconomy, global currency issues, and the multilateral lending agenci

Midterm elections normally signal a contraction in stock markets.
