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...

What does a world class, leading athlete need to be the best? Energy. What does a world class, leading nation need to be the best? Energy. Coal is being confused as an alternative energy. It is already the energy for today, satisfying over 60% of China's energy needs. And China's need for energy will only continue to grow as the country builds more metropolitan cities to serve its growing middle class. Consolidation happening around the $65 price level... coal demand continues on a mult-decade move higher. China infrastructure increasing will increase electricit ...

He upgraded BTU and Arch Coal (ACI) from "hold" to "buy".
Energy Department estimates that electricity from a carbon-capturing plant with sequestration will cost 8 cents to generate one KWH in today's money by 2016. That figure does not take into account any benefit from selling carbon credits or any revenue from selling carbon ...

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. What are the best buys in the sector?"
