No Bottom In Sight For Shares Of Carnival Corp (NYSE: CCL) Says Market Timer Frank Kollar.
June 13, 2006 (FinancialWire) (By Frank Kollar)
Shares of Carnival Corp (NYSE: CCL), the cruise-ship operator, have declined 37% since their January 2006 highs. We have written about this company several times over the past few months, each time forecasting new lows. Carnival Corp has not disappointed us.
In May we said that Carnival share prices could drop as low as $39.68 in coming weeks and that a decisive close below that level would start an escalating decline that could reach $35.47. Carnival closed Monday at $36.41, just 2.5% above this level.
$35.47 is a critical Fib support level and should Carnival make another decisive close below it, we would be looking for this sell-off in Carnival’s shares to reach as low as $30.00 in the coming weeks. That is 17% below Monday’s close and 48% from Carnival’s January highs.
A weak stock market is not helping Carnival’s shares but remember that it has been declining since January 2006. Carnival’s problems, including hurricane season fears, decreased bookings and huge discount offers to try and recapture market share, started long before the current stock market decline.
The Fibtimer.com (http://www.fibtimer.com) timing service issued a sell signal for Carnival back on January 30, 2006. Carnival remains a SELL in our Stock Timing Strategy.
