GASS. Yeah, LNG - I made that mistake too. And it was after I had already bought the stock. I'm still embarrassed about it: GASS is not an LNG shippper. It's an LPG shipper. As I was called on that:

Message 26307850

Still, I've liked what I saw (GASS fleet is the largest shipper of LPG afaik) - although the LPG market and growth potential is perhaps much less than for LNG.

I hold shares. Bought from $6.21 through $4.27, and I show I've a gtc order in since 11/11 for a few more shares @$3.75. Stock now is $4.59.

Looking closer now at GASS, I don't know if I want to increase my bid. Relatively high d/e. History of profits mostly, but very lousy roe. Low p/stated bv: At p/bv now of .33, maybe stock can get up again to at least .5 in a good market. Would be at $7 vs. $4.59 now. From their website: "StealthGas ranks number one worldwide in owned vessels in the 3,000 to 8,000 cbm LPG carrier segment which is our strategic focus." Maybe being number one in this (whatever it is) might make the company/stock more desirable eventually.

Anybody else here with an opinion to offer on GASS?
