#GOLD #WallSt Massive cruise liners visiting the area are not unusual but today, one of the things took advantage of the deep water anchorage, parking outside our office window. Once, this would have demanded grabbing a camera and taking some snaps but today, becoming quite blasé about the things, I returned two very wet dogs after letting them swim for a few hours in a local river and remembered to take a couple of snapshots of the big ship with my mobile phone. From a tourism viewpoint, the ship anchored with perfect weather, the sea flat calm, 27c degrees of unpleasant heat, and several thousand tourists were doubtless lulled into believing they’d discovered a hidden gem. Locally, we’ve even got a couple of castles overlooking the loch, one of which actually very nice, if utterly hilarious. The owner and his wife fell out, so decided to partition off half the interior of the building. The massive front door opens to reveal the partition which continues up the middle of the staircase, terminating where the master staircase forks. But the partition is only 8 feet tall, the cost of reaching the very high ceiling deemed silly. This cunning plan was enacted in several areas of the building and they opted to seal off a couple of smaller external doors, making only one way possible to enter.
As for the dogs, we deemed it too hot to walk the monsters, suspecting they’d prefer spending time in water. This proved the case, both animals spending considerable time diving completely underwater while rescuing various rocks. The wet animals decided sleeping in the shade, on paving slabs, was necessary when we decided not to dry them.
Unfortunately, a problem awaited. After taking a few snapshots of the Carnival cruise liner, it gradually moved away heading out to sea. And of course, despite this massive floating muse giving inspiration for our headline share, my Samsung S10 decided to let me view the photographs, only discovering they were corrupted hours later when trying to upload them to a PC. Through various Samsung mobiles, the penny has finally dropped the smartphones don’t like storing data on an SD card. Regardless of the lack of a snapshot, it’s certainly worth taking a look at Carnival share price.
When we previously reviewed the price, we dangled a massive carrot to highlight the potentials, if it ever closed above our secondary target of 1899p. The price has obviously achieved this goal, so we’re inclined to review medium term possibilities for what’s probably coming next.
The next really big deal calculates as share price CLOSURE above 2125p triggering further recovery to an initial 2676p with our secondary, if beaten, at a future 3093p.
Perhaps this will float someone’s boat!
If things intend go wrong, below 1870 is needed to promote reversal to an initial 1725p. Our secondary, should such a level be punctured, works out at 1281p and a probable rebound.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
