In the most ambitious crossover event in Seeking Alpha podcast history, we turn the tables around. J Mintzmyer joins Akram's Razor and Daniel Shvartsman to talk the tanker trade, which is a hotly discussed topic in the markets these days. While the tanker rates and industry set up would seem to align with a generational shift, share prices have yet to pick up.
