re: Anybody know anything about shipping companies?

I don't know the story. They do tend to pay hefty Divies. I entered playing an upside potential in a recovery. Thinking Shipping has to be a cyclical play. But the numbers are all over the map on these guys. TEU has huge profit margins, is selling at low P/E, and pays ultra high dividends.

It is a small cap player and I presume can move pretty fast. It has a small fleet and is a different game than the tankers - box containers vs petroleum products. I dunno. Keeping my ears open.
