Even Neptune Orient lines ( NOL ) staged a pretty rebound last week ; and it is a company operating in deep red loss .
NOL always fail to go below $1
So Mercator Lines deserves another look at this cheap valuation

based in it's dividend paying policy since listing in Dec 2007
at current price , the yield is 10% . Or even at worst at about 8% yield
Worth to accumulate now . It can even beat all if not most of the REIT 's yield now

Deutsche Bank - the IPO issue manager for Mercator Lines , launched the IPO at 76 cents then.. raising approx $239.5 million
accumulate at these low price now . If infrastructure stimulus works its way in china and india , iron ore and coal and other commodities will drive up BDI
