CAPS Rating:
***

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Can enough be said about coal? If you haven't gotten in on this, you might want to jump on before it gets too late. Coal is where it's at. Its the oil of the future.

Likely Democratic landslide in the US in November combined with increasing number of jurisdictions implementing carbon abatement policies makes this a bad play in the shorter run. It remains to be seen whether the environmental issues surrounding coal can be dealt with effectively - until then, the political risk is too great.

In the current market environment, there's no telling how low PCX could go, but it looks very cheap compared to what it should earn over the next few years. I believe it's effectively selling at a PE ratio of 3 right now, even though coal demand is holding pretty steady right now. in other words, there is a lot of margin of safety built into the current price.

I don't base decisions on TA, but I know some other people do. I think the stock is a buy right now, but the support is more obvious around $20. I would expect $20 to hold even if the market has another mini-crash.
