$BALT WANTS MOAR BOATS

In the filing, BALT intends to use the proceeds from their secondary to buy 2 Ultramax vessels with an option to buy another 2, to be delivered in the 2nd half of 2014. One has to ask oneself: do they know something we don’t know? Or, are they gluttonous bastard pigs?

Here’s the thing: this sucks for traders of the stock. But, as an investor, this is welcomed news.

On a rising tide, you want as much leverage as possible. BALT just went from being a small player with 10 vessels to a player with up to 17 by June of next year. If we’re right about shipping rates, BALT’s upside leverage just went through the roof.

Quick note: the previous two capital raises (9/20, 5/22) marked the bottom for the shares. In other words, today’s a good day to go hunting.

Quicker note: For those of you confused as to what the hell an ‘Ultramax’ is, consider it a supersized Supramax, falling into the Panamax category of 60,000+ dwt. BALT is mimicking the BDI.

    That awkward moment when a trade turns into an investment.

    Looking to add a little more on a large move down. I want to get in well below 4.50.

    On another note, GOGO is also becoming a “hold forever” stock for me. I’m telling you guys… people aren’t even aware of this shit yet. Just wait until you start getting texts from friends you know are on planes. Just wait until GOGO is a household name when it comes to flying around the country. A little worried about a secondary for this stock as well though… so if anyone hears anything.
