Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ:ESEA)

Tanker will improve with world economy

Shipping the 2007 pile on, pump and dump. Most of these "shippers" will return to single digits or $0 as the story wears thin,the debt load becomes apparent and money moves to the "newest" pump and dump - solar and alternative energy.

near 52 week low shipping industry will continue to grow

When (not if) the dry bulk shipping sector recovers, this company will benefit

The best sector to invest in for the next 5 years.

dry freight.

As the ecoonomy picks up steam the opportunity to increase cargo rates or at least fill the ships for profitability. Margins have started to recover in the first qtr but it will take several more qtrs before this stock sees the hay days of 2007 again

Good business, adding new vessels and contracts.

Calling it a dead. It's ratios look good, but if you dig deeper, it's burning through its cash to pay off the loan repayments. Of the 41.42M in cash, its' on a schedule to pay roughly 10M each year for the next five. Actually close to 14.5M in 2010 alone. The ship assets also haven't been marked down.

Also, why the are they even still paying dividends?

World Shipping Demand Growth est.
2010: 3.1%
2011-13: 4.6%

2009 profits: $17.4m on $63.8m net revenues and $15.6m+$2.7m expenses.

And then it has a 4.5% dividend (now)

Betting on a global economic recovery within 2010. Demand for resources and energy will first feel the effect than manufacturing and construction.

Undervalued stock should be close hopefully to the bottom of the economic cycle...

Speculative buy on my part. Recommended by TMF. Looking long as it will take a bit for the shippers to improve versus the economy. When the world economic situation takes a positive turn and steadies up, these guys should do likewise...

As the global economy improves so will bulk shipping.

The company saw the signs of the economic downturn and planned accordingly.
