Hi Saleem,
BDI hit 22 year low of 663 in Dec 08. Chinese government stimulus plan giving big boost to BDI. Fresh coal and iron ore shipments to Asia from Australia driving rates higher.
Looks good.

Hi Saleem,
With rates rising, GNK,DSX,DRYS
DRYS got a sweet deal on their loan repayments, the banks want them to survive and thrive. Up coming spin off of their oil business. At $6 worth a play.

I may look into buying @ least one of them @ the right price !!!

HELLO to all
Here are the shippers that I follow
SSW DRYS DSX ESEA EXM EGLE FRO GNK HRZ NAT KEX KSP TNP GMR VLCCF
SSW is a goodie as is DSX I am unsure if DRYS is stable as they owe lots of money and may have to sell ships to stay afloat---PUN!
DSX suspended it DIVI so it has cash-which is king!
This is what IBD says:

Hi Madmax,
Thanks for your input based on IBD ranking.....
Based on tape..GNK is the strongest...do you know WHY GNK is behaving the-best????
Saleem
Hi Saleem,
Not sure why GNK strong on tape. I bought on low, now I'm black.
DRYS doing right thing by cutting back quickly. Billionaire owner has friends helping out in high places. Bottom somewhere around here. May dilute common soon. Owner buying warrants to buy shares at 20-30 range within 5 years. Why? Lots of maneuvering.
Best Regards
Hi Saleem,
BDI up +142 to 1640 from 1498 Thurs.
Best Regards
Hi Standards,
