No expert about how this and similar shipping companies lost so Much (PRGN), but in case of Paragon it looked like combination of several factors: 1) Greece credit crisis; 2) related removal of some prior major tax breaks for Greek shipping companies; 3) disastrous fall in commodity prices; 4) being a smaller company in the midst of all this; 5) Iran oil coming back in a bigger way and the deployment of their own national fleets, and 6) disposition of several ships and lull during replacement with other ships; 7) Reverse split that repels even vampires.
