I've been there and done that in regards to selling too soon only to watch the stock go up. I mentioned OMM because of the insider buy as well as the very large buyback in shares that they have initiated for the last two years. Like TOPT they have also announced a sell/leaseback arrangement with some of their ships. I don't own the stock but have it on my watch list.

Short term the stocks don't always move as a group, but long term they do. So, if you probably pick a good basket of shippers you will do just fine

Thread, more than a rhetorical question: On what basis would you choose a shipper to be in your basket to hold long term?

percent of long term contracts?
capacity of fleet?
type of ships in fleet?
age of ships?
type of cargo hauled?
management?
valuation?
dividend?
stock chart?

some other criteria?
