Market Vectors Coal (KOL) Red Hot

Wed, 20 May 2009 16:48:00 GMT

Coal was one of our best performing sector groups in latter 2007 through summer 2008. While much of the focus of late has been on natural gas, the coal stocks have been ripping in even larger magnitude. I was a bull on coal over natural gas (although the market in its student body left trading simply moves all commodities together) because of the portability of coal over natural gas. We were early on this theme as the market was so focused on oil stocks at the time, and made a lot of money (Dec 6, 2007: Coal Stocks Quietly in Bull Market) I wrote a bevy of pieces about this 1.5 years ago... but again, the market is not very granular nowadays; it likes big sweeping themes that are simple: i.e. commodities good.

Renewable Energy Reality: Coal

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:41:00 GMT

Renewable Energy Reality: Coal by David Fessler, Advisory Panelist Friday, January 9, 2008: Issue #913 The Obama administration has made a big deal about renewable energy.

And with $700 billion flowing from the United States into OPEC’s pockets every year, I don’t think you’ll get much of an argument from anyone about the timeliness or the need for renewables. But even with massive amounts of capital investment - and widespread adoption by utilities and end users - renewable energy will still only account for roughly 10% of world energy output by 2030, an increase of only three percentage points from today’s estimated 7% contribution. Depending on whom you talk to, however, that estimate is wildly optimistic. The stark reality of[More...]
