RE: tick, tick, tick The trick bocaman, and I believe you know it well, is to buy low and sell high.
If you wait, you may be rewarded. If you wait too long, you may have to look elsewhere.
I don't want to put money back into the market, otherwise, I would put a bid in to relieve the seller, but you have to be deciplined, and you can't be too greedy. If things work out, which I believe they will, then coal stocks, just as natural gas, will eventually rebound and come back in favour.
CEC, having a majority of met coal product, should do well in the long run, IMO.
