BTU is best of breed coal, with Australian operations that will likely cater to Asia's coal needs, while sporting a healthy balance sheet relative to its competitors which will help it ride out the storm while paying a 1.4% dividend that is safe (9% payout ratio). I don't think coal is going anywhere, global demand remains and natural gas will go back up in price here soon.
