Alliance Holdings GP, L.P. (NASDAQ:AHGP)

Caps 5

12/15

Value investing screen with 9 or 10 rating

Mmmmmm Dividends, and inexpensive. Where is my knife and fork I want a bite!

Positive Stock for the next few years

low P/E cash fountain, on sale

Result of my fundamental-quality screen: high dividend yield, high ROE, some insider ownership, consistently high CAPS rating (4-5 stars over three years).

I think oil and gas still has room to rise for a few months or more. This pick looks good because it has a stockscouter rating of 9 and CAPS 5.

Coal isn't going away anytime soon.

Coal is still going to be used for power generation. It will take decades to get nuclear power generation built up in the United States to the point that it can satisfy most of the energy needs.

Also, coal can be converted to fuel. This is not something that is feasible right now due to the price and availability of crude oil, but as oil supplies dwindle or if a major war breaks out and oil supply is cut off, the price of coal is going to climb, and it will be made far more valuable.

Red Raider is Lord

The dividend itself is worth holding it and the management holding a large % of the company shows there geared for future success

good dividend, greater than 50% ownership

MMP, OKS, NGT, EPD and a few other partner trusts all are involved in natural gas well leases. As more and more corporations realize all the benefits of natural gas over coal and oil, natural gas prices are bound to increase. As a result, these companies will generate even greater profit than they are now. Result=stock price rises and high dividends continue.

strong 5 year ROE& profit margin improvement and still at reasonable PE ratios

Bullish on commodity and solid yield play
