19 Shipping Stocks Far Below Book Value; Yields Still Up To 32%

If I screen the market by interesting investing ideas, one industry often popped on my screen: The shipping industry.

For sure, the global trade slows down and commodity costs are at the lowest level for decades. What looks like bad news for shipping stocks but also a great opportunity for long term investors?

Let's try a look. Ships are not equal. These are container ships, tanker etc. and each industry has a different cyclic.

The recent correction in share prices across shipping stocks, barring tanker operators, has transpired into attractive valuations. 

While investors are skeptical of catching falling knives, sitting on the cash means missing good bargains. 

Investors should adopt a diversified portfolio within the maritime space, to insulate from heightened uncertainty in the sector. 

We have followed top-down approach to build our model portfolio, while considering company-specific factors such as the balance sheet strength, financial performance and management profile for stock selection. 

It is important to note that shipping is a high-beta sector and tends to underperform/outperform the financial markets by a wide alpha on both sides.

Attached I've tried to compile a few dividend paying shipping stocks that might look like bargains due to low price to book ratios and earnings multiples. What du you think? Are shipping stocks worth an investment? Leave a comment and we discuss the idea.

Here are the results...

20 MLPs To Get Money From Without Filling K-1

For investing purposes, MLPs and LLCs can be a great way to maximize the amount of cash that can be paid to investors, because these organizational structures don't pay income tax, but pass that burden along to those who are invested in it. The same goes for some trust structures.

In other words, because these entities don't pay corporate taxes, the full burden falls on those receiving income from them. This differs from dividend income paid to shareholders by a typical corporation in that regular dividends are taxed as long-term capital gains, while much of the income paid and shown on a Schedule K-1 can be classified as regular income. That means it's taxed at your effective income-tax rate, which is often much higher than the 15% or 20% long-term capital gains rate for corporate dividends.

In summary, a Schedule K-1 issuing entity may be able to pass more income along to you, the investor, but you may end up giving more of it back in taxes than if you'd received regular dividends from a corporation. It really boils down to your tax rate, and how much more income the LLC, MLP, or trust is able to pay.

In order to have less effort with your portfolio allocation and your investment, you could avoid such stocks with K-1 schedules.

Nevertheless, if you like to invest into stocks with a master limited status, you could look at the following list. Each of the stocks are MLP's with status Partnership "C" corporation. Those companies create a classical 1099 Filling and don't send you K-1's.

Here is the list...enjoy it and share it with your social friends...
