Seaspan Corp. Series-C 9.50% Cumulative Preferred (NYSE: SSW-C)
I expect 2012 to be a bad year for stocks, so I��m emphasizing safety. Over the last 10 years Insiders Plus had a Sharpe Ratio (risk-adjusted return) five times the market��s.
Seaspan leases container ships on long-term charters of up to 12 years. 70% of its revenues come from shipping companies owned by The People��s Republic of China. Another 20% are from Japan��s biggest shippers.
