Last week I had
, the author of TheOldEconomy, on the podcast to talk about shipping, commodities, and his investment strategy. With his background in the shipping sector, he was able to give some valuable insights into the different subsectors worth keeping an eye on moving forward. We also talked about commodities, his options strategy, and other opportunities he finds attractive today.Podcast Summary
We talked about why he likes Cape Size vessels, and Navios Maritime Partners NMM 0.00%↑ in particular.
His thoughts on the LNG sector, and what makes Dynagas DLNG 0.00%↑ and their ICE class vessels attractive (their 6 vessel fleet includes 5 ICE class vessels).
*A Quick Note: I looked this up after the recording, but Dynagas is a Master Limited Partnership, which requires a K-1 tax form here in the US. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Why he likes the shipbuilding sector and Seatrium in particular.
His bullish views on precious metals and the different ways he expresses that view for gold, silver, and PGMs.
Golar LNG GLNG 0.00%↑, their unique assets, and why he still likes the company.
His thoughts on the steel sector, Gerdau GGB 0.00%↑, and emerging markets like Brazil.
We also talked about his options strategy and what he looks for when taking a position.
Book Recommendation: Thinking In Bets by Annie Duke.
