..dirty 4 letter word..
You gotta like it when CNBC is highlighting DJIM stuff months later as "coal is cool" this morning. As for yesterday's action, it was really no surprise that coal had a pullback. It was inevitable after this recent kick up. The dirty 4 letter word CNBC is using this morning is coal and it ain't going away as long as crude is on the mind this year. Didn't we just say if you really want to get down and dirty have some coal?. Actually, it was around these parts months earlier as you know. Considering, we profiled coal as possibly the next big trading thing in early February, we welcome any pullback after seeing many introduced here double and triple since. We've been selective in choosing a few, JRCC has gone from $14 to 50's, FDG, MEE have run nicely and we discovered PCX and ANR in the $50's. Again, don't fret the action Thursday, just get ready to saddle back up one day soon, but don't do it guessing a bottom unless you are a full-time trader and can move around intraday. We noted yesterday at 10am with $CRX at 976 a stall may occur for profit taking. Well, it did as the $CRX fell to 961 by close. Watch 955 as an level of interest noted yesterday to either bounce or exit. Remember, we can't say sell or buy for that matter for obvious reasons..we can only lead and say what is on mind. If you're trading these day by day, you may have used the alert to exit a few names in the commodity area and go clean into the weekend. But, if you've been holding a few for weeks it's no really big deal as you've generated nice gains.
Anyways, a lot of noise this morning in the markets and it's time to start the weekend. We noted a few stocks we're in yesterday. ENER and SCHN because steels held ground yesterday
We will do an in depth write up on the Haynesville Shale play we introduced recently this weekend. There are more than a few plays and you'll have to decipher which fills your needs best as there ones to trade and some you may want to just tuck under your pillow. As with coal this play ain't going away and in months they'll be saying Shale is dirty 5 letter word.
Have a good weekend.... Anybody watching and enjoying Euro Cup soccer?....it's so much better than watching the market take its kicks!
