Story is on OSG's news, I guess because this Gary B. Smith did a chart review on them? Well comparing OSG (HQs located on 5th ave, N.Y.) to other companies of the same business like NAT and FRO I cannot see his preference to OSG at all unless he got a nice fat paycheck to try to pump up their stock.

Let's see here,

OSG is P/E of 6.43, EPS of 10.22, and div and yield of .70 (1.08%)

FRO is P/E of 4.13, EPS of 12.23, and div and yield of 14.00 (28.27%)

higher P/E but better payout than OSG

again, higher P/E but better payout

So, OSG is the highest maritime stock in price, but pays crap in dividends, sorry Mr. Smith you silly wabbit, tricks are for suckers and chumps and kids, and I am not falling for that one.

He did get one pick right IMO, ExxonMobil, they have more power than Bush or anyone else in dealing with oil producers, transporters, or refiners, because ExxonMobil is da BOSS when it comes to oil companies. Well managed, pays their employees well, and deals with over 200 COUNTRIES and TERRITORIES. That's impressive!

Nice news tidbit about Venezuela in their news briefs on the page. Chavez may be dealing internationally and talking tough against Bush but he still loves us Yanks.
