King Coal or King Saud?

I totally agree. You have to separate campaign talk and the reality of the situation. Coal is our best chance of bridging to the "alternative energy" technologies, or keeping our heads above water, whichever comes first. In addition to this being a great time for NRP and PVR, which have been beaten down unjustly, it is a good time for electric utilities. However you make it, electricity is what powers the country. With their prices beaten down way more than are justified, the yield on these through the roof. (Don't overlook that yield is the dividend divided by **what you paid** not the current price. So when their prices are back and the posted yield is back to single digits, you are still making double digits on your investment.). I like UTF as a great way to buy the utility group, with a current 20+% yield!
