"If you want to own coal, you want Peabody Energy (BTU)." "'Mad Money Lightning Round': Take a Ride on Union Pacific," 6-12-09

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.

"We're not going to back coal on this show, but if you had to own one, this is the one I'd go with." ("Mad Money Lightning Round," 4-3-09)

Response to green play

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.

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."

good future

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).

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.
