Here goes, Chuck... I am so familiar with dry shipping stocks that it is ridiculous. If you go back and look at the charts on all of these over the course of the last year or two you will see that they gap up or gap down very frequently. The gapping is their nature.
If the boats are down, then nothing is moving. They are probably the best indicator of our economy, of any stocks.
OCNF was getting down to March pricing a few days ago, when they were a give away. Look at the stock prices for the last two years. Also take a look at the pricing on SBLK, DRYS, FREE and see how they are doing comparatively. I just really believe that a buck for OCNF is really a steal.
If I had 5 grand today or yesterday, then I would throw it into OCNF, however, that is just me. I have owned these stocks many many times and they are second nature at this point.
O.K., they are down now, but time is essential for these to make more money. They generally run fast when they run. I posted a PR for OCNF and on the 12th? there is coming a conference call:
