    youre a trucker, two words, coal buckets, oil goes up ,fuel goes up, surcharge goes up. only reason I can think of, or that mining is very energy reliant & may be why they are linked???

    coal buckets only haul local . most power plants get'em by rail. even the Najarian brothers on CNBC dont understand the tandem moves. I think most fundtraders just stupidly consider oil & coal as energy .it'd be like saying Chevron & Walmart are the same cause they sell stuff

     I read somewhere that as the price for oil goes up there is a higher demand for alternative energy. Still doesn't explain why most oil is used in a liquid fuels process and coal is burned for electricity but I never really understood it. Just my 2 cents.

    dem, that is what everyone is lead to believe, the majority use of oil is pharmacuticals and plastic, gas and diesel are refined from the remaining byproduct

    If you are looking for COAL shares, buy PCX

    Great balance sheet, just offered secondaries. VERY undervalued - PCX.
