It has been a crazy year for the Castor Maritime (NASDAQ:CTRM), the diversified global shipping company. Unlike the other meme stocks CTRM stock did not wane out the interest of the investors. The stock is still surging up making it a hot buy.
This time the surge came as result of the company’s announcement of its charter agreement for three of its ships: The M/V Magic Nebula, The M/V Magic Moon, and the M/V Magic Nova. The first ship, i.e., The M/V Magic Nebula is a bulk dry carrier was built in 2010.
