		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Wednesday, December 21, 2011: Issue #1669 As my colleagues have done earlier this week, I’m now putting myself in the hot seat with regards to my prognostications from a year ago. Around this time last year, I opined that commodities like gold, silver, fertilizers, coal and oil were in increasingly short supply. Prices for these and other commodities were approaching 10-year highs, and would keep on rising. How did that statement pan out? Let’s take a look. Precious Metals According to data from Kitco, gold started the year around $1,400 per ounce, and is currently trading at just over $1,600 per ounce. Silver, on the other hand, started the year at $30.70 per ounce, and now trades a tad lower in the $29.50-per-ounce ]]></description>

The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for third quarter earnings per share is pegged at 44 cents, representing an annualized growth of 21.98%. Second Quarter Flashback CSX Corp.’s second quarter financial results surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and remained above the year-ago level on strong pricing recovery. Revenue also came in ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate and grew 13% year over year to $3.0 billion on improved pricing and modest volume growth.

		<description><![CDATA[by David Fessler, Investment U Senior Analyst Thursday, October 6, 2011 Earlier, I talked about the 25-year outlook for liquid fuels based on the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) International Energy Outlook 2011. It’s the EIA’s annual 25-year energy forecast, and it contains important information for investors who are considering an investment in the energy sector. Now, I’ll cover the future of coal in the world energy picture. Many countries lack energy policies (including the United States) that restrict or otherwise limit the use of coal. As a result, the use of coal is projected to rise from about 139 quadrillion Btu in 2008 to 209 quadrillion Btu in 2035. That’s an average annual increase of 1.5 percent. Although coal power generations should decline in the United States, dramatic increases are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The shares FedEx Corporation (FDX) dropped to the lowest level since 2008 following the reduced profit outlook for fiscal 2012 (ending May 2012). The stock plunged 11% during whole day trading and closed at $66.58, down 8.17%. Concurrent with its first quarter fiscal 2012 earnings release, the world&#8217;s second-largest package delivery company slashed its fiscal 2012 earnings projection from $6.35–$6.85 to $6.25–$6.75 per share on reduced demand in the U.S. and Asia, uncertain economic growth and the recent turmoil in the financial markets. From a segmental perspective, FedEx Ground and Freight are giving healthy performances but FedEx Express is struggling. The demand for Express services, particularly from Asia, continues to decline, resulting in lower shipments of goods. This decline is far more than the synergies from yield improvement and several ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diversified fuel producer CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX) provided guidance for coal exports in the range of 10 to 10.5 million tons for 2011, up from the initial coal exports outlook of 10 million tons. CONSOL Energy is quite confident that the export market will remain strong for the remainder of the year and hence retained its current-quarter production guidance of 14.4 to 14.8 million tons. CONSOL Energy has to draw more from its inventory level due to strong shipments in the quarter. The strong exports expectation from CONSOL Energy came in as a surprise, while its peer Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR) recently lowered its export guidance for the fiscal year citing reduced demand from Asian countries. Another compatriot Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) lowered its sales forecasts for the second ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the impacts of inclement weather and staggering fuel prices, U.S. Railroads saw strong momentum in the first half of 2011 primarily driven by higher coal volumes. Coal shipments, which accounted for approximately 40% of the total railway shipment, led to positive market sentiments. However, a suggested decline in coal shipments for the second half of the year by Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and Walter Energy (WLT) is having a ripple effect on the rail industry. The negative market reaction resulted in steep declines in share prices. Major players like CSX Corporation (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NSC) plunged 8.1% and 8.3%, respectively, followed by Union Pacific (UNP) and Kansas City (KSU) which sank a respective 6% and 4.5%. The recent news comes as a big blow to rail companies as ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Second quarter operating earnings for Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) came in at $2.36 per share, falling substantially short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.09. Such a miss stemmed from difficult geology in Alabama and weather-related challenges at both Alabama and Northeast British Columbia operations, raising the cost concerns for the company. On a GAAP basis, the leading met coal producer and supplier recorded an EPS of $1.71 compared to $2.16 earned in second quarter of 2010. Revenue and Operating Income Walter Energy’s total revenue of $773.0 million in the second quarter was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $963 million. Revenues, however, increased 88.3% from the year-ago comparable period, mainly due to the addition of operations in Canada, West Virginia, U.K. and North River,and higher metallurgical coal pricing in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rebound phase for the coal industry from the 2008-2009 turmoil continued in 2011. The global economic outlook started improving following the turmoil of late 2008. The U.S. economy came out of the recession in the summer of 2009 and has been in a recovery mode since then, though the pace of improvement appears to have weakened lately. Like the other commodity sectors, the fortunes of the coal industry are closely tied to the health of the global economy. The post-recession demand recovery helped improve the group’s earnings power, with most coal companies solidly profitable in 2010. This uptrend in demand, largely driven by the improvement in the global economic activity, rebound in domestic power demand, favorable weather patterns and soaring coal demand from Asian countries, also continued into 2011. ]]></description>

Guo Guangchang, along with three partners, began investing in China in 1992 with a paltry $4,000 grubstake. Their holding company, Fosun International, has since then grown to jackpot of $6.3 billion. Forbes now estimates Mr. Guo’s stockpile at $2.8 billion. Amazing. Most of Fosun’s initial investments were in fast-growing Chinese companies in sectors like mining, steel and property. Then it shifted gears with a few investments in service companies like Focus Media (Nasdaq: FMCN). Focus Media is China’s leading digital media group (recommended by the New Frontier Trader last month). I don’t know about you, but I’m “all ears” to learn about Fosun’s next step. Here’s a hint – the new focus ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The outlook for the coal industry has taken a turn after the long spell of weakness experienced in 2008 and 2009, driven by several powerful trends in the U.S. and Asia. Recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is regaining its stability, and sees a rebound in various industries &#8212; the coal industry being one of them. The emerging situation in Japan that has given the nuclear industry a black eye also is a net positive for the coal industry. The World Bank estimates global economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), expanded 3.9% in 2010. Global GDP is projected to grow another 3.3% in 2011 and 3.6% in 2012, with developing economies &#8212; led by China and India &#8212; expanding 6% or more in each year, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The producer and exporter of premium coal  Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) announced that it has acquired the assets of Mobile River Terminal Co. in Mobile, Alabama from a subsidiary of U. S. Steel Corp.(X). The company will use the premium coal from these assts for export to its global consumers. Walter’s decision to acquire the Mobile River Terminal has a strategic significance. This acquisition will not only ensure unrestricted shipping capacity but will also support Walter’s long-term coking coal production plans in Alabama. This acquired facility is located near the McDuffie Terminal from where Walter Energy presently carries out its coal exports to customers in South America and Europe. Hence, utilizing the Mobile River Terminal, Walter will continue to incur low mine-to-port costs with less dependence on third parties to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Massey Energy Co. (MEE) gave a new direction to the ongoing investigation to go into the cause of the April explosion at its Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia, which killed 29 miners. Massey’s management said that, as per new evidence gathered by company experts, the deadly explosion was caused by the sudden rush of natural gas probably from cracks in the mine&#8217;s floor, rather than a build-up of methane gas from unsafe coal mining and ventilation procedures. According to Massey, an analysis of gas emissions near the area where the explosion probably occurred shows that the chemical make-up was closer to natural gas from non-coal sources than the gas that comes from coal seams. The company is now seeking permission from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, November 30, 2010 What’s dirty and out of fashion, but everybody wants it? That would be coal, both the coking kind used to make steel, and the thermal coal used to fire power plants. Over the past year or so, coal consumption has climbed on emerging market demand. To the industry’s surprise, it’s been enough to push global prices to a two-year high. The Wall Street Journal reports that China even worries it may run out of coal someday. So the government may cap domestic output to keep from running down the country’s reserves too quickly. Intent on meeting that demand, companies everywhere are busy merging and acquiring. In fact, just in the last few weeks, $15 billion in deals have been announced. ]]></description>

Various recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy regaining its stability, bringing about a rebound in various industries &#8211; the coal industry being one of them. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal production in 2009 fell by nearly 8.5% in response to lower U.S. coal consumption, fewer exports and higher coal inventories. Going forward, the EIA estimates a 0.3% decline in U.S. coal production in 2010, as drawdown in both producer and end-user inventories are expected to meet the increased coal consumption in 2010. However, coal production in 2011 is estimated to improve 1.8%. At the current rate of ]]></description>

For the full year 2009, the company reported earnings of $2.55 per share, way below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.63 and the last year’s earnings of $6.35. Net sales and revenues for the quarter declined 35% to $236.3 million, compared to year-ago levels. Operating income totaled $36.9 million, down from last year’s $91.1 million. Both net sales and revenues and operating income were negatively impacted by lower coke and metallurgical coke pricing and sales volumes. Of the revenue decline, 43% and 44% are attributed to lower coking coal prices and volumes, respectively. In 2009, net sales ]]></description>

Based off of various recent economic indicators, the U.S. economy appears to be stabilizing. Although the rest of 2009 is likely to continue on a path of weak steel and electricity demand relative to 2008 levels, several factors should help lift the coal producers in 2010. Reductions in capex spending from both coal and natural gas producers, the weakening of the U.S. dollar and most importantly Incorporatedreased steel and electricity consumption in 2010 should all be positive catalysts for the coal industry next year. As stated in earlier outlook summaries, benchmark metallurgical prices for fiscal 2009 have been set around $120/mt &#8212; off markedly from the $300/mt level ]]></description>
