Coal: What Happens When Bubbles Pop

My first comment looks unmerited because a post was deleted.

Mark Anthony, the price of a stock such as JRCC is a complete fabrication. Though not short, there's nothing better than seeing that stock lose 33% of its value in days.

Pachanguero,

As stated in the article, I hold no position in any of the mentioned securities and don't even have a completely bearish outlook on the sector. The article was primarily a recognition of the possible sudden drops when assets of any class - whether commodities or the underlying equities - appreciate tremendously.

It appears as though you have an emotional attachment to the coal stocks (that I'm assuming you're long). Take some blood pressure medication and relax.
