Mechel mines coal, iron ore, nickel, and limestone.  They have been killed recently due to enforced coal price cuts and the general slaughter in the Russian equity markets.  First of all, the price cuts apply only to domestic sales of coking coal, we're talking 8% of revenues. 
  I believe that the market has overreacted.  This company isn't in danger of being stripped of it's best parts by Mother Russia.  I would average down on this pick.

These guys will find a way to keep the money in their pockets, and the money flooding into the Russian currency has to be invested into something between infrastructure and new development.

You can't go wrong with steel dealers who are willing to cut deals other people are not.
