Stock Chart: BTU, Peabody Energy, Coal Company is Coming Back



Peabody Energy (BTU) is a Coal Company. For one year, from around May 2006 to early April 2007, BTU had been on a downtrend. Then on April 2007, it spiked up on good volume, breaking the one year downtrend line, and has gone above the 50 and 200 day moving average. This would have been a great Buy Point.

This jump in Peabody Energy (BTU) also coincided with the time that Warren Buffett had been buying the rails. Jim Cramer has said suggested that this play is an indication that Coal is not over .

Even if you didn't catch that point, the 50 day moving average has moved above the 200 day moving average, which is a bullish sign. BTU is also above previous resistance of $48.46, and has broken out of a Dec 2006 to April 2007 Bullish Cup and Handle pattern. BTU is also above both the 50 and 200 day moving average.

Even if you didn't catch BTU at the ideal buy point, you still may be able to catch BTU's run, as the new uptrend is still intact.
