SINGAPORE: As soon as retail investor Calvin Froedge heard that a massive container vessel was stuck in the Suez Canal, he pulled his car over to the side of the road, opened up his laptop and started buying shipping stocks.
“It’s a huge shipping chokepoint, ” said the American, who lives near another important waterway in Panama. “This is actually kind of a black swan thing.”
