The Motley Fool

Perhaps no industry suffered more during the pandemic than the cruise industry. Due to lockdowns, cruise lines had to shut down for more than a year, leaving some investors to question the industry's ability to survive. Indeed, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) had to take on massive debt to stay in business, as its debt ballooned from just over $12 billion in fiscal 2019 to nearly $36 billion by the end of fiscal 2022.

The Motley Fool

Since Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) just touched $50,000, it undoubtedly feels like multiyear holders or "HODL-ers," in crypto lingo, are all winners.

The Motley Fool

When Social Security was created, the program set a "full retirement age."
