<> .COM <> <> is a lessor of container ships. Twelve percent of its stock is owned by insiders. That's a huge amount.Most of the companies in the S&P 500 are less than one-half of one percent insider owned.

It started out with a merril lynch recommendation... usually this has a big "ignore" meaning to me but I decided to give ssw a look anyway. Small cap recently IPO'd shipping company out of hong kong. These guys own like 20 huge vessles their packed with orders and between you and me.. i don't see what can stop trans atlantic shipping from being a long lasting cash cow... all aboard!

Seaspan (SSW): Speculative income
|
|
|
 "Seaspan Corp. (NYSE: SSW), a play in the shipping sector, is my largest personal holding," says Jack Adamo. In Insiders Plus he reviews the speculative income issue.
"Normalized earnings for the latest quarter were up 32%, but due to the greater number of shares outstanding, EPS were noticeably lower. "This is because the stock price has fallen substantially, due to industry fears. As a result, the company had to sell many more shares than usual to fund the delivery of new ships this year. <>"The good news is the company says it has now arranged funding for all scheduled future ship delive...

Another Week Gone
You know it's been a tough time for the market when only a smaller loss in comparison to the prior two weeks is considered a good thing.
<>For the 4-day week the S&P 500 declined -2.14%, Dow -2.46%, Nasdaq -3.40%, and the Russell 2000 -4.73%.
To win this week you either had to be long and strong gold (see DGP, UGL, GDX, GLD) or be "ultra" short (EFU, SDD, SJH, TWM, FXP). No doubt, today's big spike in oil (USO) will be talked about quite a bit over the weekend not to mention another reversal in tech and financials..
