Just last week, one of those Fools, blesto, succinctly summed up the Navios bull case for our community:
I believe I've successfully caught a falling knife by the hilt. Navios kept paying dividends right through the worst of 2008 even as its stock dove to unprecedented lows. ... They will be one of the survivors. The turnaround of the overall shipping sector still has a way to go. ... Yep. A solid (so far) dividend with a potential nice upside from my cost basis. I think I'll continue to hold, maybe add some more, and maybe get some positive CAPS points for a change.
If you want market-beating returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Navios may not be your top choice.
