(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/24/12 -- Shipping stocks have performed well this year as economic fears decline in Europe and key emerging markets, while stronger U.S. data helps prop up the industry. The Guggenheim Shipping ETF (SEA) -- which measures the performance of companies listed on global developed market exchanges and consists of companies within the maritime shipping industry -- is up more than 20 percent year to date. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Shipping Industry and provides stock research on Frontline Limited (NYSE: FRO) and Excel Maritime Carriers Limited (NYSE: EXM).

While SEA has performed well this year, the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) has collapsed nearly 60 percent in 2012. Georgi Slavov, Managing director of freight and basic resources research at ICAP shipping recently told CNBC that signs of recovery in the U.S. and impressive growth in China have not been reflected in the index. "I don't think all of these (things have) been priced in by the market, we certainly have supply issues which should be cleared in the next year or so, but the market hasn't really reflected this better than expected import of raw materials into China and certainly the market hasn't priced in the awakening of the U.S. economy," Slavov explains.
