Dry Bulk Shipping: Recent BDI Rise Is Heartening

I've enjoyed being a Diana Shipping Stockholder for a long time. The fleet is young, the customers are all top drawer: Cargill, BHP Billiton.

Is it Time to Buy Dry Bulk Shippers?

Good article but I would add Diana Shipping DSX as one of the best shipping companies. The intelligent and well seasoned management communicates well with analysts and stockholders in quarterly conference calls. The fleet is young and the crews are well trained enabling the company to secure good contracts with quality shippers. The dividends were very generous up until now when the company made the decision to stop issuing a dividend in order to preserve capital for any great opportunity that would come their way because of the downturn.
