  • 0.00%
  • $N/A

0.8% : this small-cap Greek ocean shipping company offers a 7.7% yield and trades for 11 times earnings. This stock collapsed from 15 to 3 during the second half of 2008 (like most dry bulk shippers) as the dividend shrunk. It has slightly rebounded to 4-5 but is still well below my entry point. A major disappointment, but I'm glad this was a relatively small initial investment.
