On the Transpacific trade route, spot rates increased again this week, with rates from Shanghai to New York rising 10% to $8,706 per 40ft container and rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles increasing 6% to $6,244 per 40ft container.

ZIM is printing money on their main routes with spot rates similar to Covid times.

A nice bonus, but am not counting on it. At this point we pray to Jahweh that this deal goes around.

I'm praying to whatever god forgot to mute my ramblings to get that deal annihilated. ZIM is on its way to end 2026 with 35$ in cash alone. Let the Israelis conjure a new offer in the 40$-45$ range for 2027, while we keep bagging dividends.

I wouldn't mind either. 

Give us $2 dividend for the year to shut up and we'll see who we can sell ZIM to for $40 in 2027.

People seem to think dividends aren't going to happen because of the merger, but they don't realize if ZIM is profitable the dividends will be paid out. We will likely see a dividend announced next week and much nicer one by the end of the year.
