so it looks like most of you guys were wrong on coal.

Could have almost doubled your money on KOL from mid 2016 to now.

Yep, KOL slowly and steadily crept upward. Never 100% correct on predictions. Though, I'm still happy with the train of logic behind the prediction, as it still holds up. I would sell now if I owned any coal assets, as I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel for coal. The show by Trump a week or two ago with coal regulations is just lipstick on a pig and has provided a little boost to KOL. The industry will be in steady decline for a long time, as old coal electric plants are mostly being closed for some other form of electric generation (natural gas being the most popular). Coal is more of a tradable asset class now than a long-term investment.
