Hi, just a few comments regarding LNG sector.

-This sector is very dominated by longer TC contracts, hence the high orderbook is not necessarily that dangerous. Cool Company trades in the spot market and can be affected more than this than for example Flex LNG who has longer charters, where you can expect more steady dividends. However I read your investment strategy, and I agree that this sector is probably not 500% potential at the moment.

-Golar LNG is not really an LNG shipping company but an FLNG operator, although they own 1 LNG carrier. They are more in the upstream sector, which cools down the gas for transportation. Fun fact: they sold all their carriers to Cool Company.

Great article, very interesting read and thank you for sharing.

Hey, Alberto! Another fantastic read. I marvel at your ability to drill down and focus on a sector across dozens of companies.

Regarding STNG and Bugbee, while he may not own a large percentage of the company he has $84 million in stock - https://finchat.io/company/NYSE-STNG/insiders/

Which has made me comfortable holding them due to their spot exposure.

I've heard tales of Bugbee and his escapades in the past, but can you elaborate on what you don't like about him at the helm?

Thank you for all you do.

They have massive conflicts of interest as the management owns a company that provides all the services for the vessels owned by Scorpio. Thank you Connor

Interesting piece. Tried to do a rough estimation of the fleet value of some of the major offshore drillers some months ago. Seadrill came out cheapest, with Valaris on a close second. But I also agree with regards to CEO ownership. Link to excel model if of interest: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AqhVfZhLGjWslRjJdb0pFEAn16-I?e=ngKqCF

Great post as always Alberto. Any thoughts on the warrants for Valaris?

Thanks for the comment, I think you posted it twice by mistake. So, I will post the same answer on both:

That is why I said in the report "Scorpio has the best average historical gross and operating margins. Their balance sheet is also very good. But I do not trust Robert Bugbee, the president and director of Scorpio. "

I do not trust Scorpio. A similar thing happens with Tsakos, although the discount to NAV is not justified in my opinion. Therefore, I think Tsakos is a good stock at these prices.

Hope it helps.
