My name is Jordan Shaw and I have been an investor in the stock market for 20 years. I have a MBA and I am currently a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Since the age of 16 I have taken a keen interest in the stock market and used my fathers stock account to purchase my own stocks. I am 36 now, and have started this blog to give you my advice on stocks. Most of my information and statistics come from other sources, but using my research I can make suggestions on stocks that have potential.

A stock for uncertain times

Carnival Cruise Lines (NYSE: CCL) is a Florida based company that provides cruises to various destinations around the world. It has a portfolio of cruise brands comprising Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America, Princess Cruises and Seabourn in North America; and AIDA Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard, Ibero Cruises and P&O Cruises in Europe, Australia, and Asia. The company offers a 3.2% yield and trades at about 15.5 times its last years earnings. Due to the sinking of the European ship, Costa Concordia, in January 2012, shares have fallen below their $35 highs. Now trading in the range of $30-$33 the shares have shown a rebound.  I would buy these shares on a break above $33.
