Hi
Can someone please explain why the price of Mercator Lines has fallen from around Rs.152/- to Rs.56/- in a single day? It is a good company and the prospects of the shipping sector are bright as well.
Thanks

Hi,

If we can see the stock variation of Shreyas it creates an uncertain doubt in the mind! Will it be a good hold?

hello friends,

I would not recommend you to buy shipping stocks currently as the freight rates of shipping companies are typically at their lowest from April to October and for sure these stocks will come down. I can tell you this with sureity as I am working in a major shipping company in London in the commercial department and track shipping rates etc on a daily basis.

Rest is your call. It is just my advice to this trading community from whom I have myself learnt a lot.

Cheers

Nitin

Thanks for the information Nitin!

Is there any specific reason of rates getting down?

Sweetys,

Market rates for shipping companies have been very much lower this year as compared to last year. Profits as shown by companies will be very much lower for fy06 as compared to fy05 as fuel costs have been higher and freight rates lower.

In any case, the time frame from april to October are always weak periods for the shipping industry due to lower demand in the major freight markets around the world. Thus my explanation to keep away from shipping stocks.

However, if u compare shipping industry 3rd quarter and 4th quarter profits, then 4th quarter profits will be marginally higher as fuel costs have been lower in the fourth quarter.

Hope this explanation is of some use to you.
