Hi guys,
I stumbled upon this stock. Stats look fantastic and it smells like this one is ready to explode. What do you think?

I would have liked it a lot better at $29. Is this what they refer to as a low moat company? (No unique competitive advantage) Lots of shipping firms and most are undervalued. Not a bad idea but I think it would be a momentum play and you would need to watch it carefully.

This is one of the areas I'm looking to get short. Good luck.

I think you missed most of the easy money on this move. You could have watched for the Support/Resistence upward breakout. Look to get in on a pullback to $32.17, with s tight stop @ $30.00. If the Baltic dry index takes a hit, so will this stock.

Maybe you were trying to buy this a momentum play, but I think stocks like this should be bought for value at the bottom of their trading ranges and not after they've just had a 30% run up!

I look at value first, then technical, and use the two in conjunction with one another. I have found if the value is there but the technicals are out of whack, you're setting yourself up for a questionable trade. I agree that the value is still there, but almost universally, you should not buy a stock after it runs up 30% in a week. Stocks that do that often contract quickly too and lose half the gain.
