Bookkeeping: Adding to James River Coal (JRCC) JRCC

34%

-32.85% in 430 days I am watching Arch Coal (ACI) drop 25% in 2 sessions; you know what hedge fund owns Arch Coal don't you? A certain one going out of business... the sharks are now berating his positions. Instead of starting a position in Arch Coal (we already own enough coal stocks) I can choose any of the ones we own which are also being puked up - I've chosen James River Coal (JRCC) which is down 22% in 2 sessions for a "flip and trade" - the only way to make money in these stocks anymore. That is, buy them when they are punished, and sell on the pop. So this is only a trade and nothing more.... this is... Continue reading »

Bookkeeping: Trading Position in James River Coal (JRCC) JRCC

34%

-26.16% in 62 days (closed on 09/03/08) I am adding a new coal name here but unlike the others this one will (I think) only be a shorter term trade: James River Coal (JRCC) has dropped from $60 to $41 in 2 sessions, or about a 32% loss for people buying 2 days ago. This is a much more speculative smaller cap coal name unlike the type I hold in the fund for "investments". It is unprofitable this year but should show a massive amount of profits next year as it is very unhedged in its pricing for 2009. At a $1 Billion market cap it is also a buyout candidate. Maybe I am convincing myself to keep it longer, as I type this :) One ... Continue reading »

-59.86% in 508 days Filed under: Newspapers, U.S. Steel (X), Commodities, Oil, Stocks to Buy <>With crude oil prices soaring, shares in coal and fertilizer companies have also been climbing for the past year. Barron's offers a survey of the momentum plays, pointing out some opportunities and risks when investing in coal and fertilizer stocks. Talking about risks, Barron's underlines the fact that it can be difficult for investors to put their hard earned money into a stock that is already trading near its highs. But as they say, the trend is up unless proven otherwise, and we might take this into account when pic... Continue reading »
