Finally Euronav went back up in the green and now I can go on to my next stock pick. Euronav didn't do so well because of terrible shipping rates. But the economy is now turning positive again and that's visible in the VLCC rates. If I don't have any ideas anymore what to buy, I use the  stock screener .
