The best Bull and Bear pitches based on recency and number of recommendations.

The reports of coal's death are greatly exaggerated. It's here to stay, will grow while the economy starts picking up, and Peabody is best in breed.

bearish over the short term due to:

~coal stocks usually trade at 8-11 times p/e, current levels r untenable
~demand for clean energy,coal is the dirtiest energy, demand for coal comes only when all other energy sources r maxed outMore
