Summary:
Gained 4.1% last week. I lightened SNEN, CMO, and NRF-B. I hope to swing trade the latter two. I was in and out of GKK-A, which hit my stink bid when announcing the dividend would no longer be paid. I sold as my purpose was the dividend. I started a position in ONAV, an (oil) products tanker company. The company has charters for most of this and next year, a 30% dividend yield and Jeffries came out with a bullish report expecting them to triple. That said, the products market is a mess right now. While the policy is to pay the current fixed dividend, things could change if charters come unstuck.
