RE: RE: NOT PROFITABLE(reply)... Eigen337, you have been posting here and around for a long time. You are a intelligent poster. I must say that with the start of mine closures across the US, the risks for closures seems clear. This industry is either red hot or stone cold. Prices are on the decline, I don't think your going to see huge stimulation at 8.5% china growth. When the prices stabilize...(maybe 130tonne) Coal mines are going to be cheap. If anything, the coal companies are a great short opportunity.
