Beat inflation by outrunning it:
Nordic Atlantic Tankers
Just one example of many. It’s volatile so requires strong stomach. Dividend around 10% and owners recently were buying their own stock.
The market manipulators are having their way even with the tankers... CTRM is on fire AFTER a reverse split. SHIP’s controllers are also buying stock in the company. You’re dead right - these stocks are not for sissies.
