COSCO management has not diversified its opernations like YZJ.
Perhaps, the directors should change the CEO.

Capitalise on Cosco demise? Will it happens? i doubt? Short it then? Or may be a good buy at 60 Cents or below?

Cosco blokes have already made their money years ago - it was a darling pre GFC and since then the new team is really there to keep the company going.
Need not try to hard - its a Ching co - how much can you trust them especially when there is minimum trust even between their own people?

Cosco Corp's 3Q net profit falls 61%
Cosco Corp (Singapore) said its third quarter net profit fell 61% to $16.4 million from the same period a year earlier due to lower contributions from dry-bulk shipping and shipyard operations.
Net profit attributable to equity holders of the company fell 84.1% on the year to $4.2 million in the third quarter.
Cosco Corp, a subsidiary of China's state-owned maritime conglomerate, China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co, said its profit for the first nine months of the year dropped 68% to $26 million.
The company's order-book stood at $7.2 billion at the end of September, up from $6.7 billion three months earlier.
Cosco Corp shares closed at $0.79, down nearly 12% so far this year, compared with a 1% gain in Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index.
