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).

major coal player

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.

too beat up

To volatile, but a lot of potential. This kills me.

Poor, poor performance. The company should be making hand over fist and has, yet the stock reacts negatively to good news. It is misaligned with the rest of the sector and does not represent the company's growth at all.
