Last year, one of those Fools, JosephCam82, tapped Tsakos as a tempting total return opportunity:
Seems it will come through all the debt crises and shipper issues all right . Holds steady just below $10 and some day will go back to its old price level -- $20-30. Hold 5 years and you'll likely have a tidy cap gain and consistent 7% [dividend yield] along the way, I believe
If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its four-star rating, Tsakos may not be your top choice.
