Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
A year ago you stated that 2024 would be a "muted" year for this shipping company and you were right. It has drifted down. At the time you also stated that 2025 would see growth and better times. I am a long term investor so I held. So now I am faced with the same dilemma only a different year. So please give me your up to date assessment...Does 2025 look better...especially with all this geopolitical conflict and a threat of tariffs...not sure if that would reduce cargo tariff. Your assessments are always of value and is why I keep renewing my membership year after year.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize shipping stocks are cyclical...Not sure if the wars or new supply chains are a positive or negative. What I mean is they could charge higher rates if there is risk involved. In any event I have held this stock for too many years and am even. However at this point it appears to be "dead-money"...if you know what I mean. Can you see any reason to be patient for a few more quarters? Thanks as always...your opinion is always a voice of reason!

Q: Do you see any second derivative opportunities to the current bull market in commodities? More specifically, are there any tanker shippers you favour in this environment, like NAT and TNK, or dry bulk shippers, like DSX or SBLK? With the possibility of a reinvigourated US oil and gas industry, what are your views on service companies such as HAL, SLB, and BKR? Thanks.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not follow USA stocks. However you might be able to give a general comment. DSX just reported a good quarter and returned to profit for the first time in a very long time. The stock opened higher and then drifted lower and closed down over 5%. I am confused to the negative reaction. Is there anything on the wire? Your thoughts please!
Thank you...

Q: Recently some US shipping companies have made major gains. Rather than chase a high performer such as DSX I am interested in its preferred, DSX.PR.B, which is also moving up but more slowly with less volatility and with a high yield of around ten percent. (Another possibility: SB and SB.PR.C) Your advice, please. Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not cover USA stocks! I do not need any in-depth analysis. The stock spiked up 15.7% today and I do not see any announcements. I am wondering if they got a new contract or just because Europe may have better economic growth. Can you see anything on the "wire"?
Thanks for your help...
