Shipping leaser Frontline Ltd. (FRO) which I first wrote about on April 28, 2009 at a price of $19.17, has finally entered smoother waters. And it's about time.

Dayrates for the company's very large crude tankers (VLCCs) and Suezmax tankers rose to $33,200 and $21,300 in the fourth quarter, respectively.

Further, the calculation here is that 2010 global GDP growth with be sufficient to maintain an adequate-to-high oil price of $60-80 per barrel. That should be enough to keep tanker dayrates firm. The economic bears argue sluggish GDP growth will weigh on oil demand, depressing oil's price, and thus reduce demand for tankers.

"The commodity bull is awakening," says Curtis Hesler, editor of the Professional Timing Service. The advisor, who focuses on long-term market cycles, explains, "We have been through a long stretch where everything, including gold mining stocks and oil issues, have gone up and down in tandem with the movements in the popular averages (Nasdaq, Dow, S&P 500, etc.).

"We are going to enter a phase now and through 2008 where this will no longer be the case. Next year looks like it will be a very profitable year for commodity-related (real asset) issues, but dismal for financial (paper) assets.

"I am looking for $100.00 crude oil (as well as a move to $850 in gold). This should be the basis for your strategy. The commodity bull will thrive in 2008 at the expense of the general market, and the weak dollar will be no small reason for this.
