Better than crypto

in #mba7 years ago (edited)

Investing in a ship is better than investing in crypto. Because it is more real, you can feel and touch a ship!

Plus it is just a fascinating industry. More interesting than crypto!

I hope you like this series I am doing on the fascinating world of ships.

If you don't like my posts just tell me and I will find something else to post about. NOOOOTTTTT!!!

Did you see the cool quote in my last post? If not check it out and you will see what I mean about it being a cool industry.

What other forms of funds, besides the KG fund, exist that provide returns to investors based on shipping market operations?


FINANCIAL FIRMS OPERATING IN THE SHIPPING MARKET


It happens especially in the Anglo Saxon world.

Almost purely financial firms operate in the shipping market without buying and selling ships.

They may even have no or just a rudimentary knowledge about the KG (Limited Liability Partnership) model of ship finance. Because it doesn't really apply to the vessels that they invest in.

DRY BULK VS. CONTAINER VESSELS


Some shipping hedge funds only operate in the dry bulk market.

The container market is controlled by a relatively small number of large ship operators and this kind of environment does not provide good entry conditions for new entrants.

Hedge funds that specialize in exploiting arbitrage opportunities, are especially unsuited for this market.

They profit from transactions that exploit discrepancies between spot prices and futures prices.

I don't know about the advantages of investing in ships vs investing in crypto.

Then again I have no capital to begin with, so for me it doesn't matter. However, I hope to acquire a ship someday simply by blogging, commenting and upvoting...

Cool what kind of ship?

Something like this. Not to transport anything, but just cruise the oceans and live the sea life

15-18m would do. But I guess that's quite a lot of blogs, comments and upvotes...

Very good . . Thankyou for sharing @pjcswart

The lady in your post looks more beautiful than crypto...how do you invest in ship ? IPO?

Thanks. There are various ways, depending on what your risk appetite and dreams are... 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆 Thanks again for sharing...and don't forget to keep steeming OK?

Thanks,@pjcswart, I learned stuff from this post - we tend to imagine goods get from one continent to another by magic. You've touched on a number of factors which make this a truly complex system and explained them well.

welll said @kiligirl, i supported your comment.

Logistics eats strategy for breakfast.

One without the other is a lot of froth and no coffee 😜😜

Makes sense yeah. Are you an independent consultant, just curious....

I would describe my current company, 6th Wave Africa, as more of a co-developer. Independent, technology and financial source agnostic, yes.

What does financial source agnostic mean?

I don't have any ties to any specific financial institutions, so I don't have to pitch their solutions.
