Buying on the dip (and adding most of the quality producers). China is 70% and USA is 50% powered by coal, I don't think the demand is going anywhere but up LT.

The price of coal is going up and will continue to go up as the world begins to realise that (1)biofuels is a scam both environmentally and politically.(2)South Africa's coal mines will continue to be shut for sometime due to energy shortages,(3)China and India(it is setting up numerous ultramega power projects -a grandiose title for powerplants mainly coal based -even assuming 25%  of the promised projects actually come on stream coal consumption is going to increase).(4)Natural gas powerplants will also have its role but it is not easy to transport,so China will continue to burn coal.When< /><>< />...

We are maintaining our Buy recommendation on Arch
Coal and increasing our 2008 earnings estimate from
$2.37 per share to $2.64 per share. With international
and domestic coal prices at record levels, Arch s
market driven strategy should help maximize its reserve
base. Having significant unpriced volumes of 60% and
77% in 09 and 10, respectively and recently pricing
several million tons of 2008 unpriced production at
significant premiums to Q1 08 prices, we feel that ACI
will experience significant earnings growth in the near
term. Additionally, In Central Appal...

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says natural gas is the preferred fuel, but Congress isn't paying attention.

One of the most amazing shams I have seen in my life is the alleged "clean coal" campaign by so-called King Coal. Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI) (Cramer's Take), Peabody (NYSE: BTU) (<>Cramer's Tak...
