Link to Portfolio: https://imgur.com/a/t6RlRgG Hi All, I'm a long time lurker and I need some advice. I consider myself a long-term investor. The strategy that appeals to me is low-risk and dividends over growth stocks. I've been growing my S&S ISA since 2021, and these pictures are today's snapshot. I don't have time or energy to do a lot of studying of stocks etc. and opted to follow others on YouTube instead that match my strategy. I've followed TheDividendExperiment (Daily Dividend Pie)when it first started, but I've reached a level of money in my portfolio that makes me anxious simply following YouTube advice. In addition to the Daily Dividend Pie, I've also invested in choice stocks for personal experimentation like DIS and SBLK. General consensus I've read on Reddit is to simply invest into an S&P500 Index but I wonder if it's the best course of action for me to simply sell everything and buy an S&P500 Index tracker right now, or do I need to selectively sell stock and keep others instead. I would appreciate any advice, thanks! PS: I rarely post on Reddit and it's my first time posting here so if I'm making a formatting or general mistake in this post let me know also.
I cashed out today and put that money into $ SBLK
Not SBLK. some Singaporean company that’s not public.
It was the Dali, owned by Stellar Marine…someone else said it was SBLK…I’m not sure now.
I don't see where it says it's a SBLK ship?
I bought puts at open for 17 and sold for 40. I don't think SBLK is the owner or operator. The Certificate of Financial Responsibility (COFR) shows Grace Ocean Private Limited. It appears to be a Maersk Charter. The USCG Vessel Response Plan appears the same. https://preview.redd.it/ixa468e1yoqc1.jpeg?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f924f573b5f718cf9b94cc1972838e36cb627eb
Puts on SBLK, they hit the bridge
Puts of SBLK ... they hit the bridge
Someone said SBLK but idk if that's right
Shorting SBLK at open 🙌
the first chance you get, buy some Mar26 Spy $455Calls and some $SBLK Apr19 $32Calls guaranteed to print  literally cannot go tits up 
My regarded predictions based on absolutely nothing: SBLK will break $30 by 3/22/25 GOGL will hit break new 52wk high by q3 ASC will trail both
Senator Tommy Tuberville has bought up to $100,000 of Star Bulk Carriers stock, $SBLK. Star Bulk Carriers has major focus in shipping, particularly forestry and related objects. Tuberville sits on the Senate Committee of Forestry, as well on Agriculture.
$SBLK anyone following Tommy T into battle?
Management such shit for the sector, I feel dirty with bugbee lol. Holding trmd and SBLK those semi respectable. But you wanna leverage up with options basically gotta go stng
Dropped his SBLK position by nearly 12%, I wonder if he knows something I don’t. He probably does.
is he looking for the red sea problems to be resolved?... he reduced his SBLK and SB positions...
This guy is the epitome of madlad. I know this because i also owned SBLK....
Thoughts, changes, and suggestions on current holdings. Percentage of total account. RCKT. 18.45% QYLD. 17.24% AMD. 13.98% FANG. 12.64% SBLK. 11.87% ACHR. 8.20% FSLR. 5.87% GOGL. 4.99% KGC. 3.80% MS. 2.91% ACHR & FSLR are my only losers, but down 20.45% and 28.57% AMD & RCKT are my biggest hits, up 62.36% and 31.02%.
Did anyone notice that Michael Burry bought SBLK recently?
More of a GSL/SBLK guy myself... not holding either at the moment.
I’m personally eyeing BOAT and SBLK
Is SBLK gonna print too like ZIM
Buying SBLK, PAGS, ODBC & NIO.
By the way that shipping company he holds a bunch of StarBulk Carrier (SBLK) is a 7% dividend... buying that the day before dividend payout and dumping it the day after getting paid is a guaranteed money printer a buddy of mine uses... I just don't have the time/patience to pay attention to dates like he does.
I have? Shit I better sell my Tesla 1 month out calls that are up 176% and my SBLK up $12k this month. Just because I have 0DTE SPY puts I got 2 hours ago to inverse the overdone run up you see before you doesn't mean I'm losing bud. Stay in your lane with a few hundred up. You arent ready to talk big money.
My shares of GNK and SBLK blew up. ​ Now. Not so much.
Now I cashed out my UVXY 0DTE puts for 70% gain when it went under $15 (got lucky on that being my point I was willing to sell) and switched to SBLK puts that are up 0.05 per- so far. Pretty good day for me bud. Reference any posts I've made all day and you'll clearly see my buys and sells.
SBLK at a resistance previously rejected 10+ times in the past 5 months and showing current weakness after popping on no news 5%. Puts at the current strike are cheap ($25 per). If you trail hopefully you make some money 
i didnt lol. I havent been reading the koala much lately bc my feed is drowned out by uranium bulls. My rationale though is iron ore is breaking out of a long, long downtrend and CLF/VALE, CLF/SBLK, CLF/RIO, you name it all are ratio charts that show CLF has more torque to iron ore than anything else liquid enough to buy calls. So if I wasn’t buying as much uranium as I could, I would be buying more CLF calls.
The downgrade over the weekend was substantial for SBLK.. dividend cut, projected 32% loss in EPS, uncertainty of offshore market... stock reaction? Down 10 cents lol... ok.
Everyone happy as hell about their puts meanwhile I'm staring at my SBLK puts I opened around 10:00am like "Cool - a 1cent drop... per 5 mins..." F.
SBLK 8/11 puts at $18.50. $30 each right now and StarBulk has rejected it's current level 7 times in the past 3 months for a large downslide and also has rejected surpassing $18.60 3 times already today.
SBLK is a good short here whoever cares to make easy money. It's rejected this level literally 7 times in 3 months and showing weakness already...
SBLK at a 3 month top end resistance, puts are extremely cheap for 1 week out. Worth a look. It it's been stuck in a range for awhile now and if it rejects like it has 7 times prior to this the next leg down is $17. Hope someone reads this and makes some money :)
I'm an employee, don't qualify as an inside trader, or work in that division. Inspection Recalls for this engine at P&W are common place in aerospace, usually not on this scale. Rolls Roce has it with Trent 1000 and XWB engines, GE has it with GE9x. Using oil analysis and NDI of components will show possible failure or potential high wear on jet engines it gets researched, notified and decisions are made within FAA compliance if recall for inspection, rebuild, or replace is required. This is an inspection recall with a very low failure rate. Flash in the pan. I'm more concerned with the net decrease in cash/financing flow and net operating profit. I moved bond and fixed income assets in my 401k to RTX "stock fund" (a rant and rave in itself its so much bullshit and shouldn't be allowed in a 401k, yet there it is) with the dip, 12% below my cost average. To whit on the disclosed insider trading James A. Winnefeld Jr. ADM USN (ret) on the board of directors purchasd on July 26th, doing the exact same thing. On the other hand, to answer OP question, I'm building positions in C, SBLK, UMC and considering adding to Disney. Meanwhile Barron's has posted a price target of $400 for META. So I might go there, but it could put me overweight in underlying holdings.
who remembers when ICLN and SBLK were the move
Been accumulating dividend paying stocks which have been beaten down for whatever current bad news. But they are steady dividend payers and the dividend rate has gone way up with the drop in share price... just collect the great dividends while you wait of sentiment to come back to these name companies... PRU, WHR (even with recession, people will eventually have to buy appliances as the years pass), MDT (aging population will need more medical devices; they have new devices), MMM (lawsuits will eventually conclude), SBLK (shipping business will some back after recession), etc.
Past p/e. Shipping rates are 25% of the peak 1 year ago. They go in wild boom-bust cycles. Don't be surprised to see half of them in bankruptcy in a couple years. SBLK was $2000 in 2008 down to $2 by 2016. Others went to zero.
This particular dividend is way higher than last quarter, but it's for real. I have ZIM, SBLK, GSL and DSX. They are all great payers, but don't get overly invested in them. I have just under 15k between the four of them. That's all I'm willing to lose if things go bad.
Many ocean shippers including ZIM, Diana Shipping (DSX), Star Bulk Carriers (SBLK), Genco Shipping (GNK) and also related industries like Global Ship Leasing (GSL) have been punished due to projections that a recession will cause a decrease in shipment volume. Ocean shipments are bid on an auction model, so excess capacity would cause shipping rates to drop until shippers reduce their fleet to match demand. In reality though, most shippers anticipated this and have exceeded estimates during the most recent earnings cycle. These companies pay out the majority of their earnings through dividends, which may cause their potential to be ignored by average stock traders when the stock price remains flat. In ZIM's case, their dividend is currently more than 25% of the share price (though it changes each quarter unlike US firms that tend to keep a consistent dividend payout).
Up 15% on SBLK and 12% on GNK pay me that divy too
Play for tomorrow, TITN. Any regards play OUST, or SBLK? Prob not 
Just food for thought, there's a lot of uncertainty in the market right now with it starting to look like people have been unduly optimistic about how much/how long the Fed will be raising interest rates and keeping them high. Unless you're dead set on getting that whole 5k into the market right now, I'd suggest spreading it out more. Maybe spend 1k now, then put in 500 every 2 weeks until the remainder of the original 5k is fully invested and then go to 500 a month. (I'm moderately bearish on the market right now, so if you disagree and think we've seen the worst, obviously this strategy won't be for you.) As for where to put it, you've got to do your own research of course, but personally, I agree with what I saw some others saying about straight S&P500 ETFs not giving you great broad exposure; they're heavily weighted toward tech growth stocks. I like VIG over VYM for a high-dividend ETF. I have some shares of it and am planning to buy more when it gets to a bit better of a price point, but either is a viable dividend strategy. For broader ETFs, I like IJR to get small-cap exposure, and there is reason to think small-caps will outperform if we do have a recession or one that lasts longer/goes deeper than is currently expected. IJH focuses on mid-caps, so you could split between, for instance, VOO, IJR, and IJM to sort of cover your large-, mid-, and small-cap bases. (I own some IJR, no VOO or IJM.) Of the dividend stocks you listed, the only one I own that I'd recommend investing in is ARCC. (I do own some VZ, but I wouldn't buy more myself.) For really great dividends, you could look at bulk ocean carriers like SBLK, GOGL, or ZIM. (I own shares in all three.) All have dividends at or over 20%. They got over-valued for a while and have been suffering price-wise, but that trend has recently abated and I think they're good long-term investments.
Shipping is on a rum btw. SBLK and GNK 3 days pumpin. Even on Tues clifford day
Oh man I remember the days when ZIM was over 3x the price of SBLK
My pick of the week on Sat was SBLK. Up 2% yesterday and 3% today. 
Shipping companies. I own several. Great dividend, very cheap. Compound interest is where it's at. SBLK, GOGL, etc. Also a great inflation play.
SBLK is Tuesdays play. LFG. Ok, weekend time.
If you are right then buy SBLK. A higher natural gas price will lead to a wider spread between the bunker prices of very low sulphur fuel oil and IFO380 fuel (high sulphur fuel). These fuels are used in shipping. Ships fitted with sulphur scrubbers use IFO380 which is cheaper. Wider bunker fuel spreads lead to super profits for such ships. SBLK have scrubbers fitted to 124 of their 128 ships.
apple goes up = I make money Qqq crashes = I make money Literally a fucking recession = I have SBLK to hedge CAN NOT GO TITS UP
What are your thoughts on SBLK and their Dividend Yield of over 21%?
SBLK buy-write Jan 20/2023 $22 @$0.20 Good premium for just 1 day. Current price $21.76
SBLK Star Bulk Carriers Group, maybe a better ZIM?
added to TSM, CSX, CP, SBLK sue me, beras
I did not keep a detailed trade journal to be honest. Zim was much higher on premiums. I bought back a few puts at around 50% gains. I also rolled some positions that were down slightly to make my break lower. I mostly had gotten out of the PBR and switched to mostly Zim and SBLK. I completely switched strategies about a week ago though. I rolled everything out 770 days. This made my break even super low and instead of buying shares with premium received i sold more puts against that money, leftovers from SBLK and ZIM I put into PBR puts. Then leftover cash not enough for selling puts against anything into shares of ET just because I love holding that.
ZIM, started building a dividend portfolio and was/am uneducated and got pulled into the trap down over 50%. Bought SBLK and GOGL as well but they have been more stable.
Watching SBLK earnings AH
Attn regards, the chart was posted for us to buy puts on SBLK wsbetcetera. Monday to the earth!
Check out GOGL, SBLK, GAIN, PVL 2 shipping plays with dividends over 30% Gain has a monthly dividend of .8 cents or 7.51% and has been increasing for last 10 years. PVL owns a bunch of oil wells and they own the royalties from oil that is sold. They have been increasing the monthly dividend for the past 10 years as well. Currently .5 cents per share a month.
I actually own shares in both SBLK and ZIM…I have a feeling that being shipping container companies, they will rebound…I hope
ZIM for me is a good stick to have. I have 22 shares and planning to buy more. Their revenue and earnings are through the roof. With the dividend I'm playing to buy $SBLK @18.96 with a DIV of 34.81%.
Good question. The first thing I would recommend is to educate your self as much as possible on the different apps and investments available. Second is to always keep in mind the person that cares about your investments and money is you, you, and you. Good question. The first thing I would recommend is to educate yourself as much as possible on the different apps and investments available. Second is to always keep in mind the person that cares about your investments and money is you, you, and you. I like Etrade and Sofi for stocks and general trading. There are several other good ones out there. Some allow fractional share purchases and some do not. For crypto, I still prefer Kucoin and Binance. Difficult for Americans but still the better ones that have been around for a long time. My preference for investing in stocks is to find stable companies that have been around for many years paying higher than average dividends. Most of them never seem to be on the front page news but have a great history of paying out and holding share value. It is simple and easy to invest in the companies that are always on the news. However, much more rewarding and self-educating to research other companies that are willing to reward the shareholder. There is money to be made in high-risk trading but you should ask yourself if you really need to take those risks or not and then decide your approach. As one of the popular YouTubers said and I will steal this line from him "you don't lose money in the markets other people take it from you!" It is a nice time to invest when there is blood in the streets and DCA as much as possible. One of the stocks I like to hold and work with that pays a nice dividend is SBLK and for crypto, I like to keep BTC, ETH, and a few altcoins. What a great age you are at to start looking at this and asking for advice. I hope that curiosity makes you successful!
What do people think will happen with shipping companies…especially with SBLK $18.70 (yeild: 35.09) & ZIM $22.80 (yeild 117.57)??

I am limited by my perception of the p/e to anything less than 15 but preferably around 4 to 10. For example PSX, SCM, SBLK and offer a decent dividend to boot. We all see some drastic loss this year but shedding seems much higher when the p/e is very high. Thanks for your opinion and examples!
>Even though they have $12b assets $8b liabilities, they seen extremely undervalued compared to other shipping stocks like SBLK and DSX. Star Bulk and Diana are dry bulk shipping. It's a completely different industry and can't be compared to containerships at all. What you should be doing is comparing ZIM to peers like DAC or GSL. What you'd find, if you did so, is that Zim operates asset-light, engaging in long term charters of other companies' ships, and operating on the spot market to profit on the difference. Obviously, the last two years were phenomenal for spot, and Zim made truck loads of cash. As spot rates come down, and the company enters into new, higher rate charters, profits close. Currently, there's nothing to imply a significant long term upside in spot rates that would lead Zim to huge margins. GSL and DAC, on the other hand, operate in the same market, but are the ones owning the ships, and have fixed rate, multi year charters for most of their ships. That means stable, secure cash flow, regardless of market conditions. In a wild market like 2020-2021, they lose some of the upside, but you can lock them in for profit over the next few years, even if the market crashes. Both companies, for instance, could let their ships be used to the end of their charters, immediately scrap them, close up shop, and be worth roughly 2x their current share value. ZIM, on the other hand, will face compressed margins for the foreseeable future, and does not have significant assets beyond cash. If they enter a negative earnings period (highly possible), they'll burn cash. So basically, by buying Zim, you're betting on a surge in spot rates that nothing currently points to existing, in exchange for giving up guaranteed cash flow and value in more stable companies. Not saying that Zim is uninvestable, just pointing out the trade off. But ultimately, please don't compare them to dry bulk or tankerships.
Wow, SBLK is a blast from the past. I looked into that around 2013 or so. Looked at all the Greek shippers but eventually decided nah, I'll buy National Bank of Greece instead. Biggest loss of my investment career until I give up on Blackberry here shortly.
Yes, and he's saying it's a company that's not going to make you money. Dividends come at the cost of share value. SBLK has dropped in share price by 97% since inception, what you're gaining in dividends, the stock is losing in value, so your initial purchase isn't necessarily paying off.
SBLK is a good business. Over 90% of their fleet is fitted with scrubbers which allows them to use the cheaper high sulphur fuel. A spread of $250/tonne versus low sulphur fuel gives them a saving of around $4k/ship/day. This is why they can achieve a better TCE than the Baltic dry indices suggest and consequently high profits and high dividends. Whilst dry shipping pricing indices have taken a dip from recent highs, it's possible the market has over reacted.
ZIM is kinda trash. EGLE or SBLK would be my picks for shipping
$ZIM rally last hour? $SBLK up 10% and $ZIM down 0,8%.. smells like intraday shorting
Same here. Grab volume while it's cheap my friend :) Just grabbed a fat pile of GOGL & SBLK. check them out if you haven't already, bulk shipping companies with (relatively in the long term) stable price points and double digit distribution %s.
Anyone have some thoughts on how this may affect maritime shipping stocks like SBLK or GOGL? Keenly interested ...
SBLK, ZIM, AMKBY are all fine long term plays. Great dividends, well run, and profitable. You don't get SPY upside, but you can certainly use the dividend payments for larger growth. There are some economic headwinds, but also some positive outcomes if somehow the Fed manages to pull of a soft landing miracle.
MOB, GTE calls, SBLK, SQQQ calls, SPXU calls
Never thought I would see SBLK here.. it is 1 of my side stocks. Loaded up yesterday on it.
Star Bulk Carrier (SBLK) Short interest way up 32% month over month to 8.2% of float, and stock keep dropping, but still paying huge 30% dividend yield, and consistent 55% operating margins. why such a negative sentiment of it? I don't get it.
You're not likely to get an intelligent response here, because dry bulk shipping is both a sleepy and very misunderstood corner of the broad market, but here's the scoop for a non expert with money in the industry. Dry bulk is having an absolute meltdown. Rates aren't just falling, they're bottoming out. It's effectively armageddon... It's actually like 2 year lows, but the point is the same, the astronomical boosts of a post pandemic tightening are gone, and demand is shattered. China is a major, and I can't emphasize this enough, MAJOR component of drybulk. Moreso capesize than anything else, but across all ship sizes, if China sucks, dry bulk sucks. And China sucks right now. Eagle is an awesome company. But as happens to awesome companies, they command a premium. Coupled with excellent rates, that premium goes up even more. In the end, Eagle was a fantastic company, but probably overpriced. And THEN the bottom fell out. In the end, if you actually want dry bulk exposure, EGLE is a great place to sit. But right now, the answer is that the industry is absolute shit right now. Utter implosion. I'm personally in much more speculative dry bulk than EGLE, and my bleeding is significant. Long term, I still like the industry, and Eagle is in the top two (SBLK). But it's not good for our industry right now.
SBLK has been way better than ZIM
Honestly. Buy 6500 shares of SBLK. Take 1 year off and reinvest your dividends. At end of 1 year you will thank me.
SBLK's quarterly dividend is listed as $1.65 / 27.25% on etrade. https://i.imgur.com/Ur6TAHQ.png
Basically everything in QQQ is already in VOO. Unless you think the Nasdaq is going to outperform, there’s no reason to buy both. And the returns from IEP and SBLK are not likely to continue forever. When you get dividends, you pay taxes on them each year, so you lose money over time due to missed compounding. If you just buy something that grows, you’re only taxed once, when you sell.
