A Fresh Look at Shipping Company Stocks

I, too, am a FRO and SFL shareholder. Reinvesting dividends has been key, especially since these stocks have such a high yield.

Looks Like Frontline Is Ready for a Rebound

FRO has been good to me, too, especially since I auto-re-invest the dividends. Including dividends, my original investment has more than tripled since May 2005! The beauty of reinvesting such a high dividend yield is that when the stock price dips, you end up picking up a lot more shares. If you believe that the long-term price trend is up, and you have time on your side, this works out well.

Even if everyone on the planet magically "got on board" with nuclear power, and approvals for plants were fast-tracked, we would still be severely capacity-constrained on a critical component of modern nuclear reactors: the containment vessels for the core of the reactor.

Japan Steel Works, which has a capacity to make four containment vessels per year, supplies everyone except the Russians:

notsosmart: while I agree that just looking at yield is dangerous, I'm not sure I get your point regarding FRO. I bought some shares of FRO in May 2005, in the low $50s, with dividends automatically reinvested. The stock dropped as far as into the low $30s, and took over 2 years to return back to the low $50s, but during that time, the reinvested dividends accumulated a boatload of shares. Including reinvested dividends, and an appreciated stock price, my initial investment has tripled in just over 3 years, so while FRO's 18%+ dividend yield seems scary initially, it's worked out well for those who've had the patience to hang in there for the long haul...
