Ok you lot of your still out there! Both DSX and Eagle shipping are poised for big gains!
Good flips coming

Not a bad profit at all

DSXN? Took DSX on the selloff btw, GL...

[l_winthorpe]

I think you are right, it seems like things are heating up. It will be interesting to see how this year plays out.

[benfrankledger]

Good question. The cycle has been rallying and has pulled back some but they are talking about later in the year. Seems like things are just heating up in shipping but I could be wrong.

[l_winthorpe]

Peak in shipping? Hasn't the Baltic Index indicated that shipping rates are trending higher?

[benfrankledger]

$JMP $DSX The firm says DSX's low risk profile limits upside potential vs. more spot-oriented companies, and it is concerned about the company's economic exposure to container shipping through its loans to Diana Containerships (DCIX +3%).

[benfrankledger]

$DSX - Diana Shipping (DSX -5.7%) and Navios Maritime Partners (NMM -2.6%) are lower after J.P. Morgan downgrades shares of both dry bulk carriers to Neutral from Overweight ahead of a cycle peak the firm expects later this year or in early 2019.

Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX) Breaks Out As Global Growth Surges

Talk to any economist or analyst. They all say global growth is surging. If that is true, the best investments (that have not already run over 100%) may be the shipping stocks. These left-for-dead names may be starting to breakout. Take a look at Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX). This shipping stock has just broken out on the daily chart. If the breakout continues, the first target is $5.10, second target is $6.20. Other shipping stocks should be on your radar as well. Remember, as global growth jumps, shipping rates will jump as well. Earnings could swell in a major way in the coming year for these companies.

The new charter with Norfolk Capesize will start this Thursday; that's another 13.25k per day in revenue. Is anyone else excited?

[l_winthorpe]

Dry bulk orders have surged by 4x during the first 10 months of this year, according to analysts at Alphabulk.

This is great news for Diana

[l_winthorpe]

Anyone investing in preferred dividends for Diana? They offer an attractive yield and their debt is surpassed by the value of their fleet

[l_winthorpe]

Anyone have any idea how the new Sulfur regs will affect Diana?

[hunchboy]

The Monthly stochastic look massively explosive. 6bucks by expiration. Sept 5 call for a nickel will be a buck If I am correct. own 450 will buy 500 more on Monday AM

[PlayInTheGreen]

Interesting prediction, what do you think of the chart now? Looks like it might be at entry point if 4's can be broken and hold up from there.

BUY ALERT: Major Support On Diana Shipping Inc. $DSX. We Bought Here...

I grabbed some Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX) today. I accumulated shares at $4.25 for a swing trade bounce with a current target of $5.05. The reasoning for this buy is simple. The stock has fallen sharply from $6.20 down to $4.21. in the past week. At $4.25 it started hitting major support and the odds strongly favor a technical bounce back to the $5.05 level. See the stock chart below.

Note, I have no idea if I will hold it until the $5.05 target. That is a perfect world scenario. However, I am confident we will make a solid profit on it as we do and have done over the long term. Learn how to survive and profit in this market, or it will take all of your money!
