As far as I've read, the only bearish thing is the debt coming due shortly. I think longer term this could be a $10 stock. I bought 1000 shares a couple months ago. Bought another 1000 today. Back in 2007 this was a $70 stock, but I doubt it could get back to that. Back then shipping rates were...

At some point this is going to be a buy. Not sure when yet. If you buy now at least you know you're not buying the top. I just noticed XES is SEX spelled backwards. The question is will it be a pleasurable experience will we get fucked? I'm thinking about building a position in this. Maybe 100...

Why not a fresh water backed currency? Water is more vital for life at a basic level than electricity.
