Shipping Stocks and the Final Nail in the Coffin for Deflationists Thomas MacLeod submits:Evidence suggests that the bullish breakout by shipping stocks is far from being just another lesson in random noise. We approach the investment case for shipping stocks from a number of perspectives, namely the behavior of: Shipping (the Lloyds List 50) and shipbuilding stock prices (Bloomberg World Shipbuilding Index)absolutely and relative to the MSCI World Index,Freight rates (Baltic freight rates in particular the Handysize Index),Timecharter rates (ConTex),Spot Metals (CRB), Iron Ore and Coal rates.Bunkers prices (as in the black grunge they burn),Fundamental valuations (P/book etc.),The degree to which the industry remains out of favor with analysts (they are even more lowly rated than US Regional Banks).From the graphs below it would appear that momentum has turned positive across the board particularly over the last couple of months.

Completely electric and boasting a solid range of 245 miles, I'm a huge fan and have contemplated getting one for myself in the very near future. But after getting a peek at the company's Model S sedan, I'm thinking about holding off until they start delivering this beauty — with a 300-mile range — in 2012. This is the vehicle that Tesla announced it will now be manufacturing in California, thanks to a $465 million loan from the Department of Energy.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
