Don't Burn That Coal Just Yet

Yesterday, I went into my backyard to grill some tasty treats, as it was a pleasant evening and...well...grilled food be good. As I cleaned out my Weber to start my fire, I went into my shed to pick up some fuel for the fire - and lo and behold nothing was there. My coal was stolen. I figured, why steal coal now? I mean, coal shares are in the midst of a nasty correction. Why in the world would anyone want to try to catch that falling knife? In such a situation most people would have just went out and bought more charcoal, but not me. I had a hunger - but not for burgers.

First, wow what a day. I feel like I suddenly own a fleet of financials for the past year. Very strange past 2 months - in June while the market was demolished we held up fine, and now the exact opposite is happening in July. I guess reversion to the mean still holds. I am checking the results over at CGM Focus (CGMFX) every day to see how Ken Heebner is handling this and he was down 5% yesterday alone and over 9% the past week; 14% for the month. This is the "risk" part of risk/reward of running concentrated portfolios. We're outperforming those results the past month, but that is n...

Sell-off pressure on coal mining on the last week was driven by worries amidst deteriorating economy.

He upgraded BTU and Arch Coal (ACI) from "hold" to "buy".

Very Bullish on Peabody - Morgan Stanley
BTU

Morgan Stanley is out with a positive call on Peabody (BTU),
raising their target significantly from $54 to $80. According to the firm, Peabody is increasingly a play on execution of a growth story in
Australia. BTU has underperformed peers, largely due to disappointing
results in its Australian segment. Morgan Stanley thinks results will improve as
coal chain expansions should allow Peabody to grow production, ease
cost pressures, and improve its mix of high-margin metallurgical coal.<!--more-->

5/8 - "Oil prices have made the headlines recently," says Martin Hutchinson in The Money Map Reporter. "But the miracle fuel of the 19th Century is coal, the forgotten fossil fuel."...Coal prices have zoomed northward during the past year. The current spot price is around $135 per metric ton, more than double the level of a year ago...Since both India and China are expected to quadruple their power consumption by 2030, most of that increase must come from coal-fired stations.
