Dry Bulk Shipper (DRYS)

Dryships will report Wednesday.  Already up 100% off it's lows this year, it is still about 2 bucks below its high.  Dry bulk shipping should be the first to rebound over time followed by petroleum shippers.  DRYS does both.

Call activity is high across the front months and in and out-of-the money.

Will be watching the earnings report and looking to buy at-the-money calls on good news and forecast.

Baltic Shipping Index to Climb

More reasons to hold things like TNK...  Oversupply seen shrinking and recovery starting... Of course this is over the next couple of years.  My recco buy shipping companies monthly/quarterly and hold these for long-term dividend payments.  FRO use to pay 14 bucks a year dividend, of course the percentage will rely on the variable cost you pay.  This is why I continue to get in now.

Weekend Update

TNK-I'm out, my limit was @ 4.50 and TNK breakthrough to 4.51 Friday to close at 4.42.  Earnings are out Thursday, they were upgraded but this was a pure trade set-up and I'm comfortable with how it performed.  I still own some TNK in a long-term account because of the dividend and potential dividend after the shipping sector recovers.

EMC-I am out of this as well.  Those of you that have stayed since the open of the trade at 1.51 for Jan 13 25 Calls, they are now trading over 4.  Approximately a 330% return so far.

CROX-17.50 Jan 13 Calls are almost up 100%, earnings due soon but looking stable.

NFLX- Pulling back now, but the 150 Calls bought when the underlying was in the 60s are up around 400%.

SIRI 2.50 Jan 13 2.50 Calls are approaching the 100% return mark.

Cloud and cloud supporting, goods and services in support of the cloud computing space are the next trend.  EMC for storage, VMW for virtualization.   HP is producing ridiculously low wattage servers and haven't seen the competition working this yet.  Reducing energy costs will increase revenue per server and flow through the top-line right to the bottom-line.  HP is around it's 52-week low, need to look into them more since the pro's have them targeted around 30.

SKYY is an ETF covering cloud and cloud support type industries.  It is currently around its high and is relatively new.  Would like to see if this is  a good way to keep in the cloud game as an investment.

End-clients, mobile devices and application developers and APP performance management are the other side of the cloud trade.
