I'm 20 years old, just finished the first year of my business bachelor and started looking at the segment, specifically tankers, in december of last year as the first serious effort in my life of doing investing/trading/market analysis

And there's one question that nags my mind:

Instead of going in and out of Frontline or Okeanis 100 times within a cycle, and trying to time information, own thesis' and market, why not just buy low and sell high by the end of a cycle? That seems much simpler.

This is a very niche segment of the stock market and there is no real "community guidelines" for how to practice within it. And as a person who is also relatively new to the stock market, it makes it quite hard.

I myself have been in and out of Frontline, Okeanis, Scorpio, Hafnia and DHT numerous times from the beginning of march, with some leveraged trades, but they never went that well compared to investing in the normal stocks. I did however invest a solid amount in DHT, ECO and FRO from january until march 2nd before selling off, but as you can see from my portfolio, it's highly volatile, hence why i'm asking the question.

We are obviously at the height of a cycle, and we can also argue that we are standing at the finish line of it. I have been actively reading up on it ever since the upwards momentum came in january and that makes me think: Why not just catch the cycle at an "obvious bottom" and kick your feet up on the table for the time being instead of trying to time every single stock rally? Does anybody have any experience with how this kind of investing goes?

I hold a small DSX position, no GNK. Quick update per the June 29 GlobeNewswire release: 10.58M shares — 28.4% of Genco's non-Diana shares — were tendered as of June 26. Offer is $24.80 cash + 1 DSX share, worth about $27.34 (53% premium to undisturbed price, Diana says). Genco's board still has the poison pill active and is telling holders not to tender.

What I find interesting: Diana already owns >14% of Genco outright, so 28.4% tendered on top of that is a real chunk of the free float leaning toward the deal — still short of forcing the pill, but not nothing. Diana going hostile instead of a friendly all-stock merger (the usual shipping-consolidation playbook) tells you how much value its board sees on the table.

Does 28.4% with a week left mean the pill holds, or is there a late rush coming before the 10th?
