WATCH

Not eager about the coal space. Suspects most coal stock have to come back and re-test lows from the summer months. Too early to rush into them. See if support levels hold.

COMMENT

Trading at a quarter of its BV. It could be a slow turnaround for a lot of these types is stocks. They’ve had production issues as well as the fact that the price of coal has fallen pretty dramatically. With these guys, you get higher production costs, mine problems as well as lower prices and the valuations have all imploded as well. However, he has been accumulating some of these names such as Peabody (BTU-N) and Cliffs Natural (CLF-N), which makes a lot of sense. Very cheap.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Coal company and has suffered as coal prices have gone down. Much too cheap.

SELL

This is the worst performing group of all the basic materials. He would pick an exit point. There are risks in these stocks.

COMMENT

The coal industry is one that he wouldn't overweight in a portfolio. Somewhat speculative at this point. There is a lot of pressure on thermal coal and some pressure on metallurgical coal. Feels that coal prices may have found a base so you could take a small position but highly volatile.

COMMENT

Since we are seeing such cheap natural gas, some people are switching from thermal coal. Alpha also does met. Coal. He has been wrong on this one and it has hurt him.

BUY

Just acquired a coal producer. He thinks it is a good time to take a long-term view of coal. There is a thesis that will support good companies like this one. There are a lot of reasons to own coal.

BUY

Coal. Just recently acquired a couple of companies. Building through acquisitions. Recent drop in the stock price is probably not company specific. Materials and commodities have tended to fall in this environment. Great entry point.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/10. Up 29.87%.) Met and thermal coal. Have been quite acquisitive and recently purchased 2 companies. Coal prices are firming up and inventories are dropping.

TOP PICK

One of the largest coal companies in the US. Has done very well for him. They bought Foundation Coal and Massey Energy. Met coal and thermal coal for exports (power generation).

TOP PICK

3rd largest coal company in the US with about equal production between metallurgical and thermal coal. 46% of production is exported. Pricing is starting to firm up.

BUY

Thermal coal. About half the electricity in the US comes from coal-fired plants. China is building these plants at an amazing rate also. Need/demand for coal is going to be there for many years to come.
