4 Big Reasons Why Coal Stocks Have Climaxed

In mid June I posted that Coal stocks were up over 100% on average since April with returns as high as 165%. It wasn’t but a few weeks later that these same stocks threw up major warning flags.

As a free subscriber (”email me updates!”) to the stocktradingtogo blog one of the great advantages is staying up to date on all major trends. What I have below are four stock charts that show why the coal stock trend has peaked for a potentially very long time.

1. Alpha Natural Resources (ANR)

Since peaking at $108.73 on June 30th ANR has dropped as low as $80.42 (-26%).

2. James River Coal Company (JRCC)

Since peaking at $62.83 on June 19th JRCC has dropped as low as $40.16 (-36%).

3. Massey Energy (MEE)

Since peaking at $95.70 on June 30th MEE has dropped as low as $72.21 (-24.5%).

4. Fording Canadian Coal Trust (FDG)

Since peaking at $96 on June 30th FDG has dropped as low as $73.92 (-23%).

You are telling me, I would take 100% in 3 months any time of the year.
