Doh sorry. Also, just trying to figure out how NAT corresponds to your name or site name? I'm slow :) Maybe Nat rhymes with Matt? We'll have new openings once a month, or definitely once a quarter for sure! I just got back today, after spending like 3.5 hours putting the fund and post together this morning. Next round!

NAT has a nice fleet of double hulled ships that some tankers don't have, plus management slashed the dividend in 2009 and if reinstated (once business improves), the income investors would likely pile back in. Again, it's a big bet but growing countries need their go-go juice. .-= Matt SF´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteadfastFinances/~3/FRRNcPptoS8/" rel="nofollow">The Bubble Decade Documentary</a> =-.

Don't sell yourself short, the FS Fund will be a titan of funds. Employment picks up, and so will Monster Worldwide! Nice! Great addition. @ Monevator – Excellent pick!

I haven't looked at the accounts or the balance sheet etc, though, and I'm not wildly familiar with US stocks (though I know many of the companies superficially) so I recommend it only for the FS fund, nothing more!
