Investment Q&A

Q: I am looking to expand my portfolio in the area of shipping/tankers. I like ATCO due to it's connection with Seaspan and my understanding that containers will be in demand once the economy picks up. I believe they have also recently finalized a contract to build an ice breaker. It also provides a dividend. DAC is the largest of the four and is container based as well and the most expensive of the four. SBLK is mostly dry goods like grains and coal with ties to South America and China and has seen some decent gains recently. HMLP is an LNG carrier and also provides a dividend. I can see advantages to all four but wondering if you could provide any insight or preferences to ranking and how you arrived at those rankings. Thanks very much. Enjoy the service and your insights.

Cheers,
Kevin

Q: What do you think about CDProjekt? They're listed as CDR on the Warsaw stock exchange. They've had a rough patch recently, but I think they're sustainably making money.

Also, there appear to be an ADR, where I can buy it in the US: OGTLY. If it isn't a terrible idea to buy it, should I try to buy it directly, or get the ADR? What _is_ an ADR?
