Aegean Marine Petroleum Network, Inc. (ANW)

Most people confuse this as an oil play when it is something else entirely. Started as an ipo in 2007 and has gained market share all around the world. It will complete it's new ship orders in 2010 and then will go shopping.

This stock is on the rebound from the recession and investment in gassing up large ships can't be a bad investment for the long term. Yeah I would have preferred to get in earlier, but their is still plent of movement available per the two-year chart.

A gas station for ships.
Peter G. is showing leadership and vision.
Quality partners.
Locations in most shipping lanes and ports.
Ships around the world may slow down,
but they won't stop moving.

dry bulk ships need fuel to go...

A great way to play the uptick in the shipping sector that I think we will see in 09. ANW supplies the fuel for container and dry bulk ships and with a global infrastrucutre boom later in the year, ships need fuel and ANW is a great play on that. Wait for a pullback to about 15 before starting a long position.

Bargain!

Zacks strong buy.

At-sea fuel provider with most double-hull ships to meet new requirements of Europen and Asia. Also, have lock on majority of ship manufacturing for such ships. Cheaper transport by ship than by air or rail looks good for group.

Pushing towards the previous highs and may well go on with it. The shipping industry is certainly very busy now and not enough supply to meet demand.

strong position in a very needed service.

has semed to do well over time

increases in shipping will increase this company's stock

Petroleum in the name

HighGain+ HighPE

A company well positioned in the market. Marine fuel will always be in demand. As the global market increases those products have to be moved in an economical way and air is to expensive. Expect this company to rise over the next few years.

This stock is really making it's move in the market place and one to have in your list of stocks.

based on other pitches sounds like they have their equipment ready ahead of the mandatory double hull rule and this will help them in the months to come

Remember, I don't remember the exact date, but soon laws will change worldwide that will require ALL refueling ships to be double hulled. Most of the competition will lose most or all of their ships.. ANW will lose a ship or two. It takes a little time to build these things, so stay on board for at least two years. This stock is setting sail. Go Cubs!!!

Shipping of all kinds, oil, dry bulk, LNG and container are only increasing. They all need to "gas-up" somewhere and ANW is the shipping "service station" with prime locations and with additional sites being carefully and continuously added and expanded in a controlled manner.
