Looking Good: Genco in Particular, Shipping in General

Unbelievable that someone (even an internet site) would publish this nonsense.

" but it’s already too late for the first bounce, because the ask price at my broker was already up above $23." = amateur hour at Seeking Alpha.

Dryshippers: A Buy or a Sell?

the good one - Do your own research. Never trust an article or author who can't spell the company name that he is talking about (Gen*k*o Shipping). *sigh*

Two Water Transport Plays - Besides DryShips

Listen to what Doug M has to say during the capital link website interview. That has some nice insight if you are thinking about DRYS.

It's funny, most people who are in these stocks know more about the people who are writing articles about them. This article was poor. It offered little substance.

Dryship's Transformational CEO

DRYS does not meet my self imposed criteria to be in my IRA account, but in my trading account (which I aim to double yearly), DRYS is a significant holding.

GE, even on his conference calls comes across as confrontational, cocky, and unprofessional. I'm suprised that his own greed hasn't taught him to curb that sort of behavior. I'm sure that he has been told that it is his attitude and persona which is the reason that DRYS sells at a discount to it's peers.

Dryship's Transformational CEO

GE is now concidered a possitive when evaluating DRYS? I've heard it all now. (still long anyway)

Tanker Stocks: Bargains Here?

I'm starting to get sick of these articles. People who aren't really posting any relevant information. I would equate this article to me posting the following about apple:

"So I went to the store last week and bought and iPod shuffle. It holds two gigs of music in get this, digital format! I played it while i went running yesterday. I thought, look at me, I'm cool. Turns out it's made by a company named Apple that trades under "AAPL". They've been making them for quite a while and increasing the ammount of them that they sell. A business fueled by irreversable cool forces - that makes a great investment. Buy AAPL - I did!"

A Rising Tide Lifts Bulk Shippers

Correct gaucho. There are a lot of "temporary supply" and "temporary demand" issues that can effect BDI. Many ships are contracted out in 3-7 year deals. So though there are "6500 ships out there", there are significantly less be chartered out at a given time.

Message boards have speculated there there has been a manipulation for a long time. I was always very skepitcal of this talk, but maybe it turns out it is true. Anyway, it's impossible to manipulate markets long term without monopoly. I have faith in economics and long term prospects of these shippers.
