Yes US demand slightly decreasing, but production has been cut and stockpiles are now decreasing. More importantly, imports to China and India are significantly higher. If I recall, China was over 80% increase year over year. Any sniff of US QE and this sector will shoot for the moon. Bear in mind, the coal sector is currently heavily shorted, which in turn could cause massive short-squeeze. Also keep in mind its time for consolidation in this sector which could cause a sector wide price spike.

I own PCX, JRCC, ACI and most of the others at some point or another.

Watch NG as a upside catalyst as well. Coal has been tracking NG the last several months.
