High-Dividend Stock Yields 8%, On Qualified Dividends, Goes Ex-Dividend Soon

Do you own any shipping stocks? We've long been fans of certain shipping stocks due to their attractive yields, good dividend coverage, and long-term contracts. This stock yields 8.3% and went ex-dividend on 1/26/18. It's undervalued by over 5%. Dividend coverage is over 5x.
