I think the pattern here is, everything that worked all of 2015 is the opposite now. hahaha. You gotta stay on your toes in this game.
Do you have any thoughts on BTU? I bought their bonds a couple weeks ago, and got a nice rally out of it. I am thinking if they file the recovery will be greater than what I paid as it was only 4 cents on the dollar or so.Hell, throw the Coal shorts in there too. Why is this up 60% this year with natty close to zero? I haven't heard a peep in the debates about giving any handouts to the coal producers. I thought they had one foot in the grave.
Maybe this is what Greenpeace really mean when they say "Alternate Energy Sources".Hell, throw the Coal shorts in there too. Why is this up 60% this year with natty close to zero?

A lot of people are pulling their hair out. Bond shorts, Gold shorts, ES shorts, Bill Ackman. LOL. Even Natty is up 20% off the lows, although got a buy signal on the widowmaker last week. No wonder Goldman is slashing trading staff. This has been a brutal 2016 for most hedge funds and banks.
That's a very good point. I just checked, didn't realize they are up more than double what I paid now, so I might lock in half and let the other half ride for now.The only theory I have on any of the coal names is Ackman is short 100 billion shares of all of them and he is in the process of liquidating everything to raise liquidity. There is no reason on earth for coal to be up much less a viable forward business concern.
For 2017 widow maker?
