What happens when interest rates rise? We may be in for a rude awakening with this sector. Watch the MACD and moving average like a hawk and when it moves to a negative crossover then run away as fast a you can.
The Coal Industry Is Getting Crushed [View article]
You are out of touch with the market. You are preaching year old fears which no longer apply. How do you explain the best coal company of all ARLP, the best coal entity on the planet doing so well?
Natural gas increased price has caused coal also to go up.
The economy is improving and your thesis is NOT relevant.
Alliance Resources (ARLP -1.1%) catches the skeptical eye of John Hempton, who wonders how the company doesn't appear to be suffering given the beating its coal industry brethren are taking. "Coal mining is not a complicated business - and unless you have a substantially better resource than anyone else, it is difficult to make these sort of numbers." [View news story]
This guy is off base. ARLP is one of the best run companies on the planet, certainly coal.

Get an account with Credit Suisse and Stifel Nicholas. They have great weekly analysis reports and updates on the whole MLP industry that are both very well done with weekly BUY an SELL recommendations.
Alliance Resource (ARLP) is the way to go. It is unbelievably undervalued at present. With the solid historical growing dividend distribution and solid coverage, it is totally irrational that it has dropped to these levels. Buy now and don't look back. The market assumes the most extreme negative result and it has shown an tremendous opportunity to get in on this reliable cash producer of distrubutions. ARLP is one othe best well run companies on the planet.
This is very disconcerting with the price drop more than you expected below $60. It is now uncer $55. Does anyone know who the sellers are? Who then is stupid -the sellers or the buyers at this level. This stock broke the 200 day MA and there seems to be no bottom. Will Obama shut is down completely???!! LZ says that htis is a dying sector (I don't agreez) that we are chasing. Any comment?

Obama is all for class warfare, and punishing success. If one makes a measly $250,000 and has $100,000 of college tuition to pay, has $24,000 in medical insurance permium of the family, add in car insurance, home insurance, mortage, food, charity, and thee taxes ont he $250,000 there is little if anything left. Obama pick a number out of the hat and then decides to punish people at that number.
He rewards lazy people, and those that choose to not educate themselves, and awards immoral activitiy such as gay marriage.
A further screen for this ranking of value dividend payers should be those that have increased dividends quarter to quarter or year to year without interruption for at least 5-10 years. The ones that have had lower or flat dividend payments should be scrapped.
The current problem with all of this is that Obama wants to kill us by taxing dividends at a much higher rate.
Obama agenda is very stupid. Create class warfare by punishing those who are educated, make something of themselves, start businesses and hire people. On the other hand, lower taxes, let people make more money, to expand business, therefore more people will be hired, a larger population of earners will develop and thus the base to draw taxes will be larger. Obama is a socialist or even bordering a Communist with his agendas. He never held a real job in industry and he is running the government. How is this possible?
The "return" is an MLP "return of capital" which is mostly NOT taxed until you sell. The taxes are paid on the adjusted basis as the return of capital reduces basis. Cool off all you doomsayers. Coal is NOT going away as Alliance is one of the best well run companies on the planet. I have been in the stock at $29.50 after the 2008 crash and have been paid at least $10 in "return of capital" dividends. How is that for a return!!! Three years from now and the continued increasing payout will make this stock at least $90-$95 in three years. Gobble up all you can of this great company at these prices.

The underwriting losses on the motor vehicle contracts is a clear example of when underwriters make wrong assumptions. The risk to GLRE is that the "hedge fund book" can do well and in this case the returns were wiped out by the insurance losses. GLRE is as good or bad as the underwriters and the other variable is to let Einhorn just do his thing on the hedge fund side. I'm not worried about Einhorn's performance but I am worried about the insurance book performing. Many others are thinking the same way and that is why the stock price may not sell for much of a premium. I do not think that these reinsurance companies will trade for the multiples the promoters would like you to think on a consistent basis. When they lose money on the insurance side (investors lose confidence) or another 2008 occurs, the stock price can sell BELOW the net asset value. The promoters make a lot of money on the offering but the investors are better well off to just stay invested in the regular hedge fund. The promise of selling at a multiple is muted by bad insurance performance and potential poor loss ratios. However, I do hope things work out for GLRE and they correct their mistakes. If they are more careful and perform then the stock can tod well.

ARLP is hands down the best and most efficient coal producer on the planet. It is one of the best run US companies period.
Even in the face of difficulties in coal ARLP has performed briliantly increasing distribution payout for 17 quarters in a row. As the economy improves look for a return to the $80 plus price by the end of Spring 2013 or sooner after two more quarters of increased payout. Get on board and don't look back. I'm in at $29.50 with lower distributions at that time.
