From TheStockMasters

Gotta love the Toddster. America’s energy demand is anticipated to grow over 45% in the next 20 years. What is the main fuel for all this electricity? Coal, it fuels about 40% of the world’s electricity and over half of America’s electricity (this amount continues to climb annually), which is more than all other sources combined. So who can you make money off of? PeabodyThe answer is Peabody Energy (BTU) – the world’s largest public coal company, their products fuel approximately 10% of America’s and 3% of the world’s electricity. Peabody dominates the coal market both nationally and internationally despite being named after a genius dog.
Since their initial public offering on May 22, 2001, at $28 per share, or $7 per share on a split-adjusted basis following the March 2005 and February 2006 two-for-one stock split, shares hit a high of $75 in May of 2006. So why mention all of this?
Because since May of 2006 shares have fallen steadily (40%) to their current level of $47 despite growing earnings last year 60%. Todd Sullivan brings us the analysis and proves why coal is money in the bank. Read the Article at ValuePlays…
