J Mintzmyer of Value Investor's Edge concludes his review of Marine Money in our third podcast on the subject. We spoke Friday morning, and go back into the IMO 2020 discussions to hear what industry insiders are saying and one divergent approach to the regulation that J is watching. J also shares a segment by segment breakdown of the industry, and we hit one more time on the theme that it might be darkest right before the dawn, as the current poor sentiment forces the sector to get its act together once and for all. Also, J tells a story about a tourist accident in New York that might feel a little too on the nose (or on the eye) for shipping investors.
