While the plunge in stock price was pretty significant for all three shippers, the news that caused these drops wasn't as deep. Two of the three companies fell after a research firm initiated coverage, while the other stock took a dive on profit-taking by investors. That said, it's worth taking a closer look at the underlying causes of the plunges, which is why I created the slideshow presentation below. It details the causes for the sell-offs and looks at the one stock that might have further to fall.
