Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) Finalizes Foundation Coal (FCL) Deal to Secure #3 Spot in US
Tradermark
34%
It's been a while since we've looked at the coal space - we own one name as a small position, but this was a theme that was one of our big winners in late 2007 and 1st half 2008. Further, we made a strategic shift from thermal coal to metallurgical coal in the spring of 2008 just before the companies with an emphasis on metallurgical made a huge surge. Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) was our top dog - just imagine the joy we felt as one of our top positions was in the news as a source of a buyout offer by iron ore company Cleveland Cliffs (CLF). Our out performance for 2008 would jump even...

Market Vectors Coal (KOL) Red Hot
Tradermark
34%
Coal was one of our best performing sector groups in latter 2007 through summer 2008. While much of the focus of late has been on natural gas, the coal stocks have been ripping in even larger magnitude. I was a bull on coal over natural gas (although the market in its student body left trading simply moves all commodities together) because of the portability of coal over natural gas. We were early on this theme as the market was so focused on oil stocks at the time, and made a lot of money [Dec 6, 2007: Coal Stocks Quietly in Bull Market] I wrote a bevy of pieces about this 1.5 years ago...

May is for merger…

letter mJust a few weeks ago, when three deals were announced on a Monday, we wondered whether M&A was back after six or so relatively dry months. It’s certainly looking that way in May. Our friends at Mergerinvesting count 9 deals so far this month, which works out to a deal for every trading day in May so far.

<>For the most part, these deals involved relatively small companies. But then yesterday, Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) announced that it had reached a deal to acquire Foundation Coal (FCL) for about $1.5 billion. While the press release noted that Foundation shareholders would wind up with ...

Earnings Drive Coal Stocks

Coal stocks had a big day on Friday driven by James River Coal Company's (JRCC) bullish earnings. In fact, JRCC had a massive volume day (5x normal) and on a weekly chart broke out of previous resistance on the price by volume bars (seen below). It’s bumping right up against its 200 day MA on a daily chart, so it may find a little resistance, but these stocks have the potential to run and not look back.

Other stocks in this sector are Patriot Coal Corp (PCX), Foundation Coal Holdings (FCL), Peabody Energy (BTU), Alpha Natural Resources (ANR), and Massey Energy (MEE) to name a few.
