Overseas Shipholding Group Inc Com (NASDAQOTH:OSGIQ)

Hey! They're going out of business. What do you know?

One simple glance at trends and the balance sheet- yep I'm sold- or rather short. *Mreow*

Overseas Shipholding Group shareholders are going to get wiped out during the bankruptcy. The company has obligations totaling more than the entire assets of the company. Combine a heavy debt load with double digit percentage operating losses, not even including the administrative fees for bankruptcy and this quickly becomes a no win scenario for the business and its investors.

Highly speculative at this point. Losing money, but they still have $220 million in cash on hand and cash flow is near breakeven. Need to refinance $1.5 billion in debt next year. If they can refinance, stock should climb much higher. Otherwise, it's bankruptcy.

Stock has been extremely strong since bottoming out around $8. Tanker demand should remian strong with crude price rising and will stronger still if further tensions in Middle East and/or Iran.

It's all about supply and demand in oil and in ships.
Gas prices (and demand) are headed down again and it looks like we'll be having (another? or the same one?) recession for the next two to five years.
And China isn't looking good either.
The time to buy will be when a lot of the shippers have gone out of business.
Then you'll be able to make a lot of money.

Bulk shipping will return over the next 5 years.I think the maximum negative outlook is priced into these stocks.

A little bit risky bet, because of meaningful debt load of the company, but looks like there is pretty good management with fair amount of share holdings in company.

Strong Balance Sheet and continued growth in worldwide energy consumption of oil and gas.

Insiders are going scrambling to buy as the price drops.

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

too many tankers now operating with more to come; bad supply/demand situation

EPS will be negative for 2009
and is predicted to be even worse in 2010
current year estimate: -.8
next year estimate: -1.13
p/e is negative. I'm a seller until this company can get a positive EPS for a quarter

Stock price has a huge amount of room for appreciation. Analysts estimates for EPS are random and often very inaccurate for shipping companies as witnessed with Dryships. They should not be used as a basis for investing in this company. OSG appears to be in a better position to face the new environmental requirements for ships and stands to gain market share if other smaller companies cannot make the switch.

P.A.Y.D.

Highly undervalued. I feel that this is easily a $40-$60 stock

3 to 5 star stock in one year.

Large production company in the process of shipbuilding, this will continue to increase just as the so-called third world countries continue to grow and expand like America did after WWII. Afterall, they need something to haul all that cargo over here for us to buy. also, we need a way to transport all of that oil back over here so we can run are SUV's.
