EKS, yes, I'm aware. Have continued to hold a very small SFL position for couple years, which I added to a bit last year after one of your mentions here.

Shipping business is or seems so volatile - the business prospects, the current operations and the stock prices - that I've no regrets that I didn't buy more when this and other shipping stocks were lower. Too tough for me to hold on to a substantial position.

...Well, maybe I shoulda bought more NM. Long-term charters backed by gov't insurance. At the time I didn't believe any of it was safe, regardless. Still have my suspicions.

Using today's strong market to trim positions.

Cut back on SFL ('08-'09 buys). Will consider reentering if stock falls back on no adverse news.

Cut outsize position in auto retailer SAH.

Taking my losses on payday lender QCCO by selling 80% of my shares. Also taking losses on couple of others.
