Tankers

Jesus help us! New to ECO and probably bought at the very wrong time. Currently watching this falling knife and wondering how I missed there monstrous amount of debt!!! It hurts so bad!! No idea where bottom is. I thought it was going to eat the gap and recover...looks like its beyond my crystal ball abilities. Crossing my fingers it doesn't go low enough to cause the DIV to get shut down but it's a huge div so it will either pay it forward like a golden goose or take hard earned money like so many other stocks and leave me thinking about savings accounts over investing!

Top ships is quite undervaluedIt has an extremely strong support level around one dollar and huge, huge potential for growth. Although it continues to have problems to be profitable (in net terms), I consider that its fleet, its geographical distribution, its orientation towards "ECO" tankers, its continuous increase in income and assets, make it a strong competitor in the sector. Among other things, Morgan Stanley increased its position by almost 2,500% in March, while other big ones like Rockefeller Capital Management and JPMorgan opened new positions, mmm... This company is "an international owner of modern, fuel efficient “ECO” tanker vessels focusing on the transportation of petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals" NASDAQ:TOPS

$TNP can rise in the next daysContextual immersion trading strategy idea. Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited provides seaborne crude oil and petroleum product transportation services worldwide. Due to the oil price lowering, the demand for oil tanker transport companies rose. Their clients use the tankers for oil storage. The demand for shares of the company looks higher than the supply. These and other conditions can cause a rise in the share price in the next days. So I opened a long position from $4,05; stop-loss — $3,90. Information about take-profits will be later. Do not view this idea as a recommendation for trading or investing. It is published only to introduce my own vision. Always do your own analysis before making deals. When you use any materials, do not rely on blind trust. You should remember that isolated deals do not give systematic profit, so trade/invest using a developed strategy.

Hedging bets on energyThere's a lot of action in energy stocks today as Donald Trump announced on Twitter that Saudi Arabia and Russia are closing in on a deal to cut production by 10-15 million barrels per day. This is going to be challenging, since the two countries only produce 23 million barrels per day between them, so they'd have to cut their production in half. Shortly after Trump's tweet, a Russian spokesman announced that in fact no specifics have been discussed, so it seems that Trump's tweet was very premature. Nevertheless, there's some reason to think that Saudi Arabia, at least, will cut production. Last night, Senator Kevin Cramer said he had told Trump that "we should not keep armed forces in Saudi Arabia protecting their oil assets while the Kingdom declares war on our oil producers." In other words, Cramer told Trump to twist the Kingdom's arm by threatening to withdraw US troops amid a rebellion in Yemen and threats from Iran. Assuming that this is, in fact, the strategy Trump is using, I think it's very likely to succeed whether Russia plays ball or not. Here are a couple other bullish signs for energy: the US is addressing the storage shortage by renting out space in the strategic oil reserve to private companies, and crude inventories are falling in China for the first time in months because refineries have reopened there. On the other hand, there are bearish signs too: Rystad Energy predicts a large decrease in energy demand in April, and today's jobless claims report would tend to confirm that. 6 million jobs lost means the economy is in a very bad place, and the weakening of demand may persist long after lockdowns are over. It's hard to resist taking some positions in the energy sector with so many bargain dividends available, such as the nearly 10% dividend on Exxon-Mobil. (And Exxon should have the cash to be able to sustain that dividend even if oil prices remain weak.) However, what if oil prices continue to fall? For that scenario, it's useful to have a hedge. I am hedging my Exxon-Mobil position with an oil tanker stock, specifically Frontline, Ltd. (FRO). Tankers and producers have been moving opposite each other, with tanker stocks gaining when oil prices fall and falling when oil prices rise. That's because weak oil prices lead producers to ship their oil to storage locations, which increases demand for tankers. Frontline has a nearly 20% dividend yield right now, so I should make money from dividends on both sides of this trade, regardless of what happens to prices. I also have a smaller hedge in USO, an ETF that holds physical oil. This is because rising oil prices may not always be good for Exxon-Mobil. What if oil prices rise because big producers like Exxon have cut production? Then both my Exxon stock and my Frontline stock would fall even as physical oil prices rise. So I want to have some physical oil in my portfolio too, to offset the effects of any Exxon-Mobil production cuts. Unfortunately there are no dividends from USO, which is why I have only a small hedge here.

WTI: Oil traders store crude on tankers at sea. Again!Hi Guys, what happens when some of the world’s biggest oil traders seek to store crude on tankers at sea? The play is to seek to take advantage of the crash in crude prices and make a profit down the line. It happened in 2009 and in 2015 as reported by Reuters back then in this article: www.reuters.com Today Bloomberg reported that the same play is happening again. How will price unfold this time?
