RE: "My guess is that most of their investments are below book value."

According to Bloomberg, JOF is priced at 7.44 but the
NAV is 5.70. That's a 17.3% premium over market value
of the holdings. What's more, looking at the YTD return
of 30.12%, it appears 2/3rds of that gain is entirely
associated with an increase of NAV premium alone.

Just an observation. Good hunting.

Mike,

Container traffic refers to shipping containers and is just an attempt to measure export volume. I have never seen these numbers used before so I don't know how much predictive ability they have but they seem to confirm the other numbers showing a pickup in business from Asia.

I'll look into JOF and if I feel I have something intelligent to add I will post.
