Social media comes to freight market predicting!
A new game from Marine Media specialists, 59 56N allows twitter users free entry to a ‘bragging rights’ freight market prediction game via twitter.
All you need to do is send a tweet in the format:
#shipmeme BDI ????? - CNTX ????? - BDTI ?????
Where you write either UP, DOWN or STAY and a number to correspond to how you think the Baltic Dry Index (BDI), Containership Time Charter Assessment Index (CNTX) and Baltic Dirty Tanker Index (BDTI) will develop between the close of business on the preceding Thursday and business close on the coming Thursday.
EG, #shipmeme BDI UP 5 - CNTX STAY - BDTI DOWN 15
So, if you’re looking to get the edge on what’s happening in the markets, here are a few things you can do:
1. Listen to Shipping Podcasts - there is a weekly podcast review of the tanker and dry cargo markets
2. Follow the Twitter Top 40 via CoracleVoice.com
3. Get friendly with an FFA broker!
4. Take part in Coracle’s FFA Quick Quiz
