THE BULK IS BACK

As America bulked up last night, coincidentally, so did the Dry Bulk Shipping industry. There has been a swift sea-change in rates that demands to be observed.

Here is yesterday’s move in the BDI

bdi

That’s right, a 9% move in the BDI occurred as you stuffed your fat faces with bird.

And today’s move:
today

Most impressive is the spike in Capesize rates, which is helping GNK and DRYS rip tits to the upside.

The shipping index inside of The PPT is up more than 3% today, led by gains in SHIP, FREE, FRO, TOPS, EGLE, ESEA, NEWL, VLCCF, SBLK, NAT and PRGN.

However, as a student of this industry, an industry crushed under the weight of oversupply and economic sloth, I am telling you right now the best company is BALT. They’ve been bulking up and so will your wallet, if you’re so inclined as to hold it for another 3 months.

HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY!!!

    BALT is banging on the top of that flag. A few more cents to break out of a multi month bull flag would be insanely bullish. $7 before year end.

    Everything just keeps going up. I bought me a supply of SDS today just as a small hedge. I figure we give a little back next week on some profit taking.

    The year has ended well and now I’m just gonna play defense through December.

      Obamacare is causing premiums to go up for millions of people, it is like a huge tax increase. It could really dent the economy.

          thats what i’m thinking…i’m long but nicely hedged, and lower prices would give me a nice buying opportunity.

          And if it keeps going up, oh well….cocaine is a helluva drug.

    Welcome to hyperinflation people. The market gets destroyed next week. We have just experienced a blow-off top. I had balt for a while, but I sold it because I have a feeling all stocks are going to get hit.

    When the dust settles, I will be buying balt in size.

          Observation held… “Smarty”

          Your arrogance/dismissing is staggering. “won’t go down” “corrections contained” “There will never be a bear market again”

          Held for confirmation/Before proclaiming. Believe, The Top, has occured. And higher highs only bring bears closer to our goals

          The invincibility will make you/others look so puny, pathetic in the end…

      Blow off top? STFU. Nobody worth their salt is selling December. As for BALT, if DBI continues higher BALT will go higher. Yea, you just called the top based on some bullshit technical crap during a holiday week. Go get’em tiger.

        J Livermoore, if I could, I would bet your house on this being the top.

          My house, but not your house? Hyperinflation? Not enough currently to stop the market here. Sure we could pullback, but there are higher highs ahead. You are throwing these terms around, but don’t know what they really are. Blow off top? Ahahahahahahahahahaha

    Anybody else notice that in the last week or so the VIX (VXX) has been grinding up as the Stock Market has also been grinding up.
    Kind of unusual and a switch from the past.
    More hedges by the pros going on/rollover of contracts?

    As I told my partner, Mr. Partridge, last night: stay long and don’t waver. If you’ve been watching how your favorite stocks behave lately, you will know which ones to add on a dip, you will know the set-up. I mentioned NVAX and SVA here last week. These two stocks have more room to run.
