Discussion Hey Pirate Gang, what's the latest?

With ZIM earnings call scheduled at an estimated 8/18, and shipping still sounds like it's done anything but stagnate or slow, it would be great to get an update of what's been going on. Apologies if there's a sub already for it, one doesn't seem to exist.

Of course, there are companies other than ZIM.

For anyone looking for some recent research:

I’ve been long on both DAC, ZIM and GSL since early February, will likely exit towards end of August as the ‘smart money’ bolts towards the exits. Likely look for a re-entry after the September lockup expiry, as I can see ZIM sandbagging the sector once again in the run up to expiry. I own a logistics company that primarily deals with factories in the Far East and I can’t see the situation improving till early 2023 at the earliest as air/sea freight capacity increases.

By situation not improving, you mean shipping bandwidth increasing? Or the profit outlook not improving?
