HOLD
Coal is a sector that has been absolutely hot. Any coal stocks should be a Hold. The issue with the big winners is that they are quite extended from the start of their run. Long-term fundamentals for coal continue to look very good. A significant pullback of 15% or 20% would be your opportunity to buy. Sentiment will be negative at that point but it is a much better risk/reward ratio for a longer-term play.

HOLD
In general, he likes coke and coal. Probably the best way to play this is through Teck Resources (TCK.B-T) in Canada. But if you are looking at thermal coal, which this company principally produces, with natural gas prices so cheap, there is incentive to switch out of coal. Wouldn't add to this name.

COMMENT
A very contrarian stock. A lot of coal companies are on his Watch list. Unfortunately, most of them are in very, very scary positions. The regulatory environment has changed and the attitude towards coal has gotten far more against it. They had a $1.8 billion debt load in 2010 and it is now over $5 billion. Tried to do a deal with note holders but they said No. He sees Chapter 11 for this company, so anybody investing in it is taking a tremendous chance.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Albertsons has been reducing its debt as it pays a 2.67% dividend. Another tailwind are the 1,726 pharmacies that operate within those supermarkets and will adminster the Covid vaccine. This should help drive traffic. However, Albertsons' PE has risen from 6.61x in late-August to the current 9.49x. Currently, ACI trades five dollars below its price target of $20.47 as there are four strong buys,10 buys and four holds. Looks like there's still room to run.
