Dig Yourself a Coal Hole

Quit bellyaching about the fucking market and do something about it. We have morons with the black lung mining coal for us office types, yet we show them zero appreciation. Be a true American; buy coal stocks!

As you know, I own Peabody Energy Corporation [[BTU]] and Walter Industries, Inc. [[WLT]] . However, there are others worth looking at, such as Massey Energy Company [[MEE]] , Arch Coal, Inc. [[ACI]] , Patriot Coal Corporation [[PCX]] , CONSOL Energy Inc. [[CNX]] , Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. (ADR) [[YZC]] , Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. [[ANR]] and Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. [[FCL]], mainly for shits and giggles.

Now, before digging yourself into a “coal hole,” you need to understand the difference between thermal and coking coal. One is used for heating your bullshit house, while the other is used for steel production. Getting long both BTU and WLT gives you a little of both.

Aside from that, I am hungry and will now make my way to the local deli for a fucking sandwich.

    They don’t know how to make these here. I think they put mayo on their pastrami and corned beef sandwiches.

    One day you’re attacking all Americans on this site, the next you’re sliming Fly, the next you’re attempting to fellate him via the internet and whining that the Aussie government is late with your welfare check.

    It’s okay. We realize that if it’s after 7am it’s just the Foster’s lager talking.

    Nobody cares about your problems.

    Go fuck a dingo.

    These politicians are more clueless than a gay 3 legged romanian goatfucker.

    Cool, lets place a surtax on people who make over $1M a year. Great idea dipshits! So, they will pay another $100K on top of the $350K they are already paying. So, if their Gross Income is $1M they take home $550K not to mention all the other bullshit fuckery costs. If I’m making $1M and taking home only half why the fuck would I want to ramp things up to make more bread? I will in fact ramp things down and actually make more (take home) money.

    These politicans have one purpose: gay goat herding

    Yes, putting mayo on a corned beef or pastrami is like putting ketchup on a hot dog, especially a Chicago style hot dog. It’s Un-American.

    Damnit, there went my Robert Downey Jr alias.

    Anyway, I’m betting on a cold winter, and I don’t think there will be much demand for steel.

    Position in CNX

    Alert alert!!
    Coal miner Consol Energy (CNX) warned of lower production for this quarter because of… a series of very lame excuses. The stock opened down 10%, but just now tickled back into the green!!

    As they say, sometimes the reaction to the news may be more important than the news itself. I am long CNX as my coal marker in my energy basket.

    Market Fool, I’d like to see MY tax plan implemented.

    110% tax on everything over $200K. And then I wish you would make 2 million a year- GROSS.

    Why the fuck does ANYBODY need an annual spendable income over $150K. FOR WHAT THE FUCK??

    Eat Double Cheeseburgers, you worthless do-nothing bitches, brokers, bankers and CEO’s.

    And get a REAL job like shoveling cowshit or cleaning terlets.
