+7.34%

One word to describe this pick: merger
but you might wonder what the terms of the merger is, and if it is indeed a merger, in which case the market would see, like i do, that this stock has as of now a 31% premium coming, then why is it's stock where it is?
the answer is simple. this is a merger, and as such, is subject to the same predictable behavior as all other merger companies. the stock, whose deal will close in more than 2 months, does not have the demand right now because the market is waiting to see how things play out. That fact is constant in every merger, the most recen...

(closed on 07/16/08)
First, I have a flood of emails this morning on this subject. I don't have time to answer each individually so please consider this topic my email response.
- Iron ore and coal miner Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (NYSE:CLF - News) said on Wednesday that it would acquire Alpha Natural Resources Inc (NYSE:ANR - News) for $10 billion in cash and stock, expanding its coal assets and positioning itself to capitalize on the boom in the global steel industry.
- Alpha mines vast amounts of metallurgical coal, which is used primarily to make coke, a key component in steel making. It also produces steam co

Bookkeeping: LDK Solar (LDK) v Alpha Natural Resources (ANR)
ANR

-8.58%

(closed on 07/29/08)
Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) has retreated a good 15 points since this AM's piece, while Cleveland Cliffs (CLF) has held up (bounced actually a bit) from where I bought it. Now the case is ridiculously compelling to add to ANR to play the arbitrage of the deal - as a reader (and all you emailers point out) So maybe I lucked out because instead of paying up near $120 this AM (where the arbitrage was still in ANR's favor) I bought CLF instead. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. Preferably both ;)
Short on cash, I've cut back on LDK Solar (LDK) here - selling 200 of 500 shares a...

What can I say - this is simply an epic move.<!----> As I keep saying,coal reminded me of fertilizer last summer/fall - totallyunderestimated.

Coal Companies Face Long-Term Challenges, But Business Great for Now

5/18 - "Coal’s edge...is that it’s still the low bidder when it comes to costs, despite the recent run-up in prices. Also, everything needed to radiate coal-fired power all over the map already is in place, not only the generating stations but storage, transit and integration with the grid. On both accounts, solar and wind have plenty of work to do."
"Utilities know there will be some kind of legislation and a carbon-capture mandate, but there are no requirements yet or price tag associated with carbon," said Ann Kohler, an energy analyst with Caris & Co. "Regulators are looking at natural...

months ago - we have a long wave of earnings estimates upwards coming

I bought 300 shares of ANR at $50.05 based on the trend pullback setup. I had placed a buy stop this morning for the following reasons:
1. The stock has been in a sustained uptrend
2. On Friday it bounced at a major support level
3. Stochastics crossed over at near oversold levels
4. Strong OBV and volume pattern
My stop is at the recent pivot low, around $47.50. My initial targer is the recent
