On whether PM can drop to $50...is it likely? Probably not. But don't say it could never happen. Imagine if you'd sold Chase puts before the London whale story came out. Or sold BP puts before the oil spill.
A black swan type event can wipe a trader that sells options out. Buying options l...

No problem. I agree shipping is probably still in the bottoming process (I base this off looking at BDI long term charts etc).

I've done a ton of research for shippers in general and dry bulk shipping specifically. DSX is one of (if not the) best run shipping companies there is.
DSX is up ~50% on the year, so more than just a short term pop for them. Most shippers are in deep crap because of there debt load.

On the fundamental side I like the revenue, quarterly YOY growth, and cash to debt ratio.
On the technical side it's a good low risk trade for me. If it drops below $24 I'd exit my position with a ~$3 per share loss. This is an 11% loss for my initial entry, which is ...

Not buying anything at the moment, just enjoying the ride.

Some stocks I look to buy soon in the long term account are HPQ, CG, and CBI.

From the Stock Traders Almanac
If you invested $10,000 in the Dow in 1950 and only kept the money in stocks
from November thru April you would have $684,073 at the end of 2011. If you
reversed the strategy and invested for the May- October period you would have
lost -$1,024 over the same 61 year...
