CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a producer and marketer of steam coal to United States utilities and industrial users.

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.

Seems to be mispriced compared to other coal companies... Sure it's a MLP, but the cash flows it should generate are exactly the same as other coal companies. Granted, AHGP doesn't have as much room for retaining and reinvesting earnings... But that shouldn't cause a discrepancy as large as the one I see right now.

Given the price of oil, coal, as dirty as t is, will have to profit. The dirty part should start to become less of a factor as the new technologies for clean burning of coal come on line, which they will because of high cost of oil making the extra expense viable.

Testing out a portfolio of smallish-cap 5-star stocks found using the CAPS screener. All picks have at least 50 allstars backing them, which should be enough to minimize star rating fluctuations. It's been less than a week, but so far so good!

The mining industry is a very good sector to be in right now. Much of the worlds metals that were mined throughout our history are still in use somewhere today. Due to inflation, the metals sector is an excellent sector to be in, due to the fact as the dollar declines, metals such as gold will only increase in value. The nation will always need multiple forms of fuel as the price of oil continues to increase... so coal and uranium will keep looking like better and better investments.

However, on the other side, metals always go through cycles. Starting around three years ago, we began our upward trend. While we will probably continue this upward trend for quite some time with the current market, one must realize there will be a large correction at some point. I would say that the metals/mining stocks will be good for at least a couple years.

Being in the mining industry, I feel quite safe. Copper is doing amazing right now, as is gold and uranium. I feel safe in my position as an invester and an employee, which should say volumes about the status quo of the market.

Just a hunch that the energy market is going to go more towards an old familiar stnad by until the oil proces are lowered in two months.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
