Learn about a software that investors can use to run their own simulations to test portfolios, withdrawal strategies and asset allocations. Plus, see how three companies in the rising marine transportation industry rank according to AAII’s A+ Investor Grades.
While we use Vanguard funds for tracking purposes, they are not the only option when using the allocation models as a guideline for your own portfolio.
Marine transportation and shipping stocks are up 68% in 2026 so far, outpacing the S&P 500 index’s return.
Crude-tanker stocks have surged 120% year to date, leading the rally.
AAII’s A+ Stock Grades assess the attractiveness of Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (NMM), Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (SBLK) and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (ZIM) based on their fundamentals.
This week kicks off our Fall Membership Drive, during which a select group of investors can get access to serious research power and tools.
