SBLK used to be in the $3's and has continued to pay the quarterly dividend throughout the industry-wide slowdown.
Obviously the share buy-back is a long-term confidence statement. They know their stock is undervalued at a buck.
The number of shares they can buy back with "up to" $30,000,000 significantly improves the EPS and forward looking dividend potential.
I am accumulating.
It seems to be loosing steam. The ride was FUN.
"20% dividend and buying back shares is a double positive."
The plan calls for the repurchases of Common Stock for up to $30 million.
They are signing more long term leases and bringing in cash ... it looks like the SBLK dividend is secure.
I bought more at $1, and will buy again at $1.10 ...

I'm with you ... like I said I would do, I bought more at $1, and will buy again at $1.10 ...
They are signing more long term leases and bringing in cash ... it looks like the SBLK dividend is secure.
They did it ... they put the traders to sleep.
50¢ to $1.92 - Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Initiation of Phase II Clinical Trial of Trimesta™ for Cognitive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
PR Newswire
Posted 6:30 AM 01/19/12
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: AEN), a developer of synthetic DNA-based therapeutics and innovative disease-modifying medicines for serious illnesses, announced today the initiation of the Phase II clinical trial of Trimesta™(oral estriol) for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS). This clinical trial is intended to enroll 64 relapsing-remitting or secondary-progressive female MS patients at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is being conducted at by Principal Investigator, Rhonda Voskuhl, M.D., Director, UCLA Multiple Sclerosis Program, Department of Neurology. There is currently no approved therapy for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in MS.
"We are very excited to initiate patient enrollment in this novel clinical trial of Trimesta in which the primary endpoint is improvement in cognition. Statistics show that 50-65 percent of patients affected by MS will develop disabilities due to a reduction in their cognitive processing speed. Despite the fact that cognitive dysfunction is a primary source of work related disability in MS, there remains no treatment to target this disability," said Dr. Voskuhl, Principal Investigator. "The goal of this trial is to address this unmet need for MS patients, potentially improving a person's mental sharpness and ability to continue working."
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial is based on findings from a previously completed 10-patient, single-agent, crossover Phase I/II clinical trial conducted by Dr. Voskuhl and colleagues at UCLA. The results from the Phase I/II trial demonstrated a statistically significant 14% improvement from baseline in Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) cognitive testing scores in relapsing-remitting MS patients after six months of Trimesta™ therapy (p = 0.04). The PASAT is a measure of cognitive function that assesses auditory information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability and is widely used in MS to measure cognitive function. Estriol has also been shown to have neuroprotective benefits in animal models of MS, a property not generally shared by currently approved MS therapies.[ii]
The new Phase II clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial intended to enroll 64 relapsing-remitting or secondary-progressive female MS patients. Subjects will be equally randomized to receive either once-daily Trimesta™ (oral estriol) or matching placebo. The primary outcome measure is the average change in PASAT scores at 12 months between each group. Secondary outcome measures include relapse rates (the primary endpoint of the ongoing Phase II clinical trial of Trimesta™ for relapsing-remitting MS), whole brain atrophy determined by MRI and safety. Charitable organizations have pledged to financially support a majority of the new MS clinical trial. Detailed information regarding this clinical trial, including contact information for the clinical site, is available at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01466114.
In addition to the clinical trial of Trimesta for cognitive dysfunction in MS, Trimesta™ is also the subject of a separate ongoing 15-center Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial seeking to demonstrate Trimesta's ability to reduce relapse rates in women with the relapsing-remitting form of MS. With over $8 million in grant funding awarded to date, this separate ongoing Trimesta™ clinical trial should be funded to its completion. Additional information regarding the relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis clinical trial is available at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00451204.
"While our Board of Directors has strategically implemented several actions to prioritize our focus on the emerging field of synthetic biologics, our continued commitment to this important new MS clinical trial, having substantial external funding, is consistent with our mission of maintaining and building value for our shareholders," stated Jeffrey Riley, Adeona's Chairman of the Board.
About Trimesta™ (oral estriol)
Trimesta™ is Adeona's proprietary drug candidate for the treatment of relapsing-remitting MS and for cognitive dysfunction in MS, both in female patients. Estriol has been approved and marketed for more than 40 years throughout Europe and Asia for the treatment of post-menopausal symptoms. It has never been approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any indication.
About Cognitive Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada publication, Hold that Thought! Cognition and MS, it is fairly common for people with multiple sclerosis to complain of problems remembering things, finding the right words, concentrating on a task or something they are reading, or following a conversation. These are all cognitive symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Fifty to sixty-five percent of those affected by multiple sclerosis have cognitive dysfunction. Despite the fact that most symptoms are mild to moderate, they can have a significant impact on a person's ability to normally function. The overall cognitive dysfunction can be described as a reduction in mental "sharpness."
The major areas of cognition that can be dysfunctional include what are termed complex attention and executive functions. Complex attention involves multitasking, the speed with which information can be processed, learning and memory, and perceptual skills; executive functionsinclude problem solving, organizational skills, the ability to plan, and word finding. Just as the nature, frequency, and severity of multiple sclerosis-related physical problems can widely vary, not all people with multiple sclerosis will display these cognitive issues, and no two people will experience exactly the same types or severity of problems.

They're stuck with a bunch of shares I'm sure they want to dump.
Reverse Split? It was approved but does anyone have any idea if and when they plan to do it?
No news is good news the way things look right now.
340 shares traded today .... oooh
I have two target prices to buy more and will be comfortable at either ... 80 cents or a dollar.
Advertising the new brands ... has anyone seen them do anything anywhere?
They generate steady cash because they get their ships virtually fully leased all year long. They can consistently pay their dividend because they have the cash. That's why at this price I am a buyer.
Annual Dividend/Yield $0.20/21.05% The dividends have been consistent. If they lease out their ships, the dividends will remain consistent. That's why I bought SBLK again today.
Annual Dividend/Yield $0.20/21.05% The dividends have been consistent. If they lease out their ships, the dividends will remain consistent. That's why I bought it again today.
Annual Dividend/Yield $0.20/21.05% The dividends have been consistent. If they lease out their ships, the dividends will remain consistent. That's why I bought it again today.
Plenty more of insider buying has gone on since then too.
Sounds good to me ... if the company hasn't done much of anything domestically and anticipates a fairly even split between foreign and domestic sales this coming year, I take that as an indication that they think sales will double.
I am encouraged.
Thar she blows ... see the bubbles from the sinking ship?
It's going to be funny/sad to watch.
They do have a longer way to fall ... last time they started at a nickel. It might take 12 times longer.
I wonder what the Clinton Group's ROI timeframe was when they got in and what it is now?
What a laugh this is going to be to watch it go back to sub penny. I give it 12 months. They're never going to be able to resist raising cash ... it's in their genes.
Terrific news. Glad to see sales going in the right direction. Wake me when we get to penny-land.
Distributors are forming a base, and the number of them is expanding. Company management is expanding too.
As for distributors having to shell out $'s, they're putting thier money where their mouths are; that's commitment.
Things are finally turning a corner for the better. It's slow going but who cares right now. The product is getting accepted in the market. As awareness grows so will sales.
AEN is just one successful trial away from exploding onto the scene.
As price support has vaporized, I remain hopeful my accumulation will pay off. Management here seems too strong to fail.
So much seems to be good at VKNG.
It's flying under the radar. No one seems to be watching except a few people. Slowly and steadily good things keep happening.
Sometimes it feels as if I'm watching a turtle race, but close your eyes for a bit, and Vkng has moved along nicely when you open them.
The recent sales hiring hopefully comes with past connections that will open doors to more distributorships and trials.
Each time demo units in the field have doubled, the evidence is mounting that distributors obviously believe in the product; more want in and keep ponying up their own dough to get in on the ground floor. I wonder if any of them are buying stock?
Another positive development that we may be able to notice in the next several financial reports will be fixed costs declining as a percentage of revenue (even though in real dollars the number will be going up).
The company should also be able to benefit from manufacturing economies of scale as sales grow. Per unit costs will start coming down and the product will be improved. I wonder if it will be noticable in 2012?
Slow and steady ... they're building momentum. It's looking like Viking is going to become a winner.
I finally saved enough by buying Rheingold for 2 years to breakeven on the stock. I'm back to buying some nice hoppy fall beers and loving them.
There's one more case of Rheingold on the shelf. It will be gone soon, and then the company better start advertising and find a few more customers.
MGI has been very lightly traded.
Given the big price drop, I would really feel encouraged and believed management to be confident if I saw some insider buying.
It's not a bargain if they don't believe it's a bargain.
... one for fifty (1:50) at any time prior to June 30, 2012
I wonder why the window allows for such a delay. If the motive was to pump the share price up so institutions could buy it at over $5, why not do it faster.
I cannot get too excited that James Kuo, Chairman, CEO & President bought 4,500 shares.
The Form 4 indicates he only owns 4,500 shares. That buy was all of it.
The only thing I can say is his timing is way better than mine.
It will be very nice to see many more systems sold domestically. Go Viking.
Rheingold ... not a peep of news ... I guess the next great thing is now the last great thing.
And that's as sales go up. Geeezzz, don't any of these small companies try to become real money-makers.
Owners with millions and millions of shares have so much more to gain as they report bottom line profits and the share price goes up.
Money Talks - Enough people are going to read the 10K and make up their own minds this week.
"New Money" may show up, but the looming R/S is a "long's" deterent. Traders may love it.
The only surprise on the R/S front is we thought it would happen this month and now it is deferred.
A "Revenue Rise" will be sexy, but that seems to be deferred too.
I didn't read the entire 10K. Did anyone determine Mexcor's current status with DKAM, and who is supposed to be selling WW's products?
The one thing that could be very attractive to an inside investor which may have brought CABO to the table is the huge loss carry-forward. That may be very valuable to him.
