Social media mentions are up 300% in the past 24h.

We reiterate this US based producer of coal for steel production as a TOP PICK.  With the new US Adminstration placing a high priority on "Made In America", this company is well positioned for both domestic and foreign steel demand growth.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 7x earnings, 1.5x book and supports a 22% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $140, looking to achieve $247 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0%

Our PAST TOP PICK with AMR has triggered its stop at $140.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  Combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment loss of 29%.
