Better than crypto - shipping hedge funds and infrastructure.

in #mba7 years ago

Investing in a ship is better than investing in crypto.

Because it is more real, you can feel and touch a ship!

Hedge funds are financial funds that make money for their clients whether the markets go up or down. Like a safety net for investors. Hedge funds that specialize in shipping markets, have special challenges.

ESTABLISHED ROUTES


Traditional, established routes are probably more stable in terms of their associated freight rates.

Today almost all shipping in the world functions in hub-and-spoke infrastructures and the main routes are therefore situated in between major hub cities.

The increase in hub-and-spoke activity has, however, come at the same time as containerisation which allows more flexibility in shipments.

HUB AND SPOKE


The prevalence of hub-and spoke infrastructures, therefore, does not mean that the market is becoming impenetrably sophisticated.

The only area in the world that does not have an established hub-and-spoke system but still functions according to a “multiple ports of call” infrastructure is Western Africa.

Such a geographical area may provide excellent opportunities for a speculative hedge fund.

Relative unsophistication in terms of innovation and modern adaption may be a prerequisite for the profitable execution of their strategies.

an interesting post - you need to post more often, my friend

OK how often? Thanks for the upvote your votes are quite valuable!

ha ha...that's up to you but at least a couple of times a week

OK, I do about once a day now but thinking of pushing it up. Someone wants me to do script writing for them. Gonna watch some youtube videos on how to do it. I've done it before and am good at it but need some refreshing...

sounds like a great idea

Yeah its gonna be so awesome.

Interesting but I don't think that investing in a ship is for the average person, I mean it requires quite a good amount of capital, doesn't it? :-)

That's the thing, not if you're smart.

i think it's a great idea to spend invest money in a stable business while doing crypto as an extra one hehhe , full steem ahead @pjcswart :)
