    By Joshua Bondy - January 17, 2013 | Tickers: DSX, DRYS, GNK, NM

    The shipping industry faces a number of challenging headwinds. Quicker turnaround times make on-shoring an attractive proposition. Chinese wages continue to rise and it is expected that in 2015 productivity adjusted Mexican wages will be lower than Chinese wages. If a significant number of factories are moved to Mexico or the United States then this would be negative factor for pacific trade volumes. Geopolitical conflicts should not be ignored; the more »

  • Titanic Returns

    By AnnaLisa Kraft - December 27, 2012 | Tickers: DRYS, NM, NMM, NAT

    Several Christmases ago a family friend and I were talking stocks after the feast and she told me of the fantastic returns she was getting on her portfolio. Then she told me her holdings, almost 20 shipping stocks taking the lion's share. It was as though she had a shipping index ETF.

    By Colin Tweel - November 5, 2012 | Tickers: DSX, EGLE, FREE, FRO, NM

    “This is the best time since the Vikings,” said shipping king John Fredricksen of the shipping market on June 1, 2008. At that time, his oil tankers were making $100,000 per day, and some of his drybulk carriers were making even more.

    By Dr. Osman Gulseven - November 1, 2012 | Tickers: TEU, CPLP, DCIX, NM, NMM, TNP | Editor's Choice

    The shipping industry is considered a tough call. When we refer to the shipping companies headquartered in Greece, the overall picture does not get any better. Greek shippers have a strong name supported by years of successful performance, but the 2008 economic crisis nearly sunk them. However, most of them pay some of the dividend yields in Europe.

    The main question is whether these dividends are sustainable. Well, Greek shippers more »

  • Not All Shippers are a Poor Investment

    By Joshua Bondy - August 30, 2012 | Tickers: DSX, DRYS, KEX, NM, NMM

    It is well known that shipping is currently in a bear market. The market has seen a continued decline in the Baltic Dry Index over of the past couple years and an increase in dry tonnage. Over the near term the majority of shipping stocks are not a great investment although there are still a select number of stocks like Kirby Corp (NYSE: KEX) which show promise.

    By Jonathan Yates - August 24, 2012 | Tickers: CMRE, DCIX, FRO, NM, SB
