barrons3	and that it will have big oil demand, which is great for everyone from Schlumberger (SLB) to Transocean (RIG), and tremendous need for copper (Freeport (FCX) and BHP Billiton (BHP - commen)), iron (Vale (VALE)) and coal (Peabody (BTU) and Burlington Northern (BNI), just to name two).

barrons3	There’s another big C on which Obama has trained his sights, and that’s carbon. If a business emits CO2 – think steelmakers, utilities and coal companies – it could be in trouble. The only reason Cramer didn’t recommend selling Arch Coal (ACI), Peabody Energy (BTU) and Massey Energy (MEE) is because Chinese demand is great enough to sustain them, even if Obama gets his cap-and-trade plan, which all but amounts to a carbon tax.

barrons3	This market wants to go higher. You can tell when you see derivatives to the oil complex -- Monsanto (MON), Peabody Energy (BTU), Foster Wheeler (FWLT), to use the best examples, but you could have said Deere (DE), Fluor (FLR) and Arch (ACI), just to give you the depths of the move.

barrons3	As for coal, Cramer said that "India was the big driver." Peabody(BTU) is "building coal plants in the country like it's going out of style," he said. "Doesn't matter what Obama says. Coal's a winner. I can't believe it myself."	Love	January 29, 2009

barrons3	Jordan's portfolio normally includes no more than 25 to 40 names, which means that even the smallest positions can have a big impact on performance. About 35% of the fund's assets go into the top 10 holdings, which currently include oilfield-service specialist Schlumberger (SLB), Internet services provider Google (GOOG), drilling contractor Diamond Offshore (DO), power-systems supplier ABB (ABB), coal producer Peabody Energy (BTU) and entertainment behemoth Walt Disney (DIS).

barrons3	Because Obama supports a carbon cap-and-trade system to curb greenhouse gases, U.S. utilities could move away from coal to alternatives like natural gas. Given the weak economy, the plan may be put on hold for a while, but eventually it could hurt coal producers like Peabody Energy (BTU) and Massey Energy (MEE).	Love	November 08, 2008
sarah z	The St. Louis-based coal company announced that its board doubled the size of its existing buyback plan to $1 billion. The buyback program, which began in 2005, does not have an expiration date and the company may repurchase shares from time to time depending on market conditions. As of Sept. 30, 2008, Peabody had 270.7 million shares outstanding. "This expanded repurchase program reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver shareholder value," said Peabody Chairman and CEO Gregory H. Boyce. "We have a backdrop of record earnings, strong cash flows and ample liquidity. The fundamentals of the business are sound, and we maintain strong capacity to continue to grow the company." The world's largest private-sector coal company recently reported outstanding third-quarter results. Income from operations reached a record high of $337.1 million or $1.38 a share, well above last year's level of $55 million, or 20 cents a share and analysts target of 87 cents a share. Total revenue also reached a record high at $1.91 billion on 66 million tons of coal. Operating cash flows reached a new high of $462.0 million, and the company repaid more than $100 million in debt. The stock surged 18% after the earnings news. "Peabody had an outstanding quarter, delivering record results that reflect the benefits of our recent investments and expanding global platform," said Boyce. "We continue to differentiate ourselves with a very strong financial and operating performance, rising cash flows, major contract backlog and rapidly growing international contributions. In the face of current economic conditions, we are pleased to be raising our outlook." On top of the outstanding third-quarter results, Standard & Poor's upgraded Peabody's corporate credit rating to 'BB+' because of the company's strong financial performance and positive outlook.

barrons3	Norfolk Southern(NSC) and other rail companies are "locked in a lot of deals, but remember, you're shipping coal -- Peabody(BTU) says coal's hanging in, but I don't think that could happen -- you're shipping fertilizer, obviously lumber's not going anywhere, oil's not going anywhere," Cramer said. "I mean, what are you shipping that's going to hold up next year?"	Love	October 23, 2008

Some beaten down names he likes are Chesapeake Energy(CHK), Peabody Energy (BTU), AK Steel(AKS), U.S. Steel(X) and CONSOL Energy (CNX).	Love	October 22, 2008

barrons2	Bramwell also likes IBM (IBM) and its exposure to fast-growing overseas economies, and Kansas City Southern (KSU) railroad as a play on growing international trade. Peabody Energy (BTU) should benefit from growing demand for coal, she says.	Love	September 13, 2008
barrons2	Coal's been carried up with petroleum, and if you think that no value's been created here and oil is going much lower, then these are fantastic shorts: Peabody (BTU) down to $20 and Arch Coal (ACI) to $22. Their declines from the highs are severe, but the next leg would be even worse.	Love	September 11, 2008

barrons2	It would be a godsend to the infrastructure companies, many of which have been cut in half. And it would stabilize the free fall in the Peabodys (BTU) and the Arch Coals (ACI) -- again, something that seems to be reflected in the charts. Those stocks have been killed, and it isn't just because of oil. It is about Chinese demand.	Love	August 21, 2008
