Any way to play the Baltic Dry Index long term?

ETFs? Anything with a high correlation?

 

shipping companies?

 

IMHO Sir

DRYS is a fun one to trade (that is until recently) it's been getting killed

Did Gap up today, but not much after that

Take Care

 

Build youlself an ETF;

List of U.S. Listed Dry Bulk Shippers
Market Cap in $Millions (6/17/08)
DryShips (DRYS) 3,430
Diana Shipping (DSX) 2,410
Genco Shipping (GNK) 1,800
Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM) 1,690
Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE) 1,360
TBS International (TBSI) 1,120
Navios Maritime Holdings (NM) 1,030
Safe Bulkers (SB) 996
Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (SBLK) 598
Paragon Shipping (PRGN) 490
Euroseas (ESEA) 417
OceanFreight (OCNF) 362
Navios Maritime Partners (NMM) 151
FreeSeas (FREE) 134

 

Buy an ocean liner and do your own shipping. That should have a high correlation.

 

You forgot Frontline...FRO

 

Claymore/Delta Global Shipping ETF: Ticker "SEA"

 

Crude oil futures.

 

Except FRO is not a dry shipper.
