DSX is the best play in dry shipping because of the solid financial structure and the head of the board of directors is Peter Georgopolis. This means that you can expect solid dividends thru the life of the stock and possibly a very large special dividend some day if they can sell a boat for a large profit.

Look at what happened in GMR (Peter’s company), excellent dividends and price appreciation over the course of five years.

DRYS is more of a gambling stock, if spot rates increase it goes up slightly faster. If they go down it drops 3x faster.

Good Advice regarding this Stock.I’d ADD SEE DRY Bulk Index,in an Uptrend below the Current level but not far @ 7200 or so.When this area is hit These shippers Should find a bottom.Also if OIL goes down The Shippers both DRY and OIL,HUGE Cost goes Down and maybe more oil is Shipped becuase of lower oil Creating more Demand for Goods.AS for orderbook of NEW Builds it is abit higher than Depletions but not so much to Drop Rates alot.And as was Mentioned pays nice Dividend.Also other inland shippers Recently Raised rates..HRZ.I like DAC,TK as it had good Acquisition of OMM which should add to forward Earnings.Good Articles thanks you.

I’ve been told about the shipping industry, especially with China’s growth and need for more supplies.
What about the gold that they are buying and the shipping of such there? They are using DRYS to ship the gold, are they not?

Just wondering… You prefer Diana over Drygoods?
