Trump eliminating funding for social programs supporting laid-off coal miners

From your first link:
`"This is why I’m expecting a short rally through the first half of 2017 at least.

But that’s as far out as I’m expecting this rally to go.

None of this is signaling a market recovery so much as a short-term rally that informed investors can prepare to take advantage of starting today."

How is this any different than anything else in this thread? This thread isn't about short term coal company bumps, it's about getting coal miners back to work. More specifically, for me at least, WV coal miners.

That's why I posted it Coop. Because he is not as confident of a long term rally as he is about a short term rally. Investors consider both, he is analyzing it strictly on a short term basis because he doesn't know what the long term environment will look like. So he's not recommending it as a long term investment...not yet anyway.

I linked you to another study more detailed that energy suppliers are familiar with that has a much stronger outlook on coal's long term use for a variety of factors. It does not predict a ''no future for coal" use, quite the opposite in fact.

If you're looking at coal as a long term investment, you'd consider this type of information, unless you're just against coal use in any form.

At any rate, neither of these two views (short term or long term) is against a future for coal like the websites you frequently link to Coop.
