Amazing what thrives and what doesn't.. Most thriving compnaies today produce things we do not need. Then there is this ... http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=WLT&p=W&b=5&g=0&i=t31638060614&r=1410878779503 Walter Energy is a leading producer and exporter of metallurgical coal for the global steel industry with strategic access to steel markets in Europe, South America and Asia. The company also produces thermal coal, anthracite, metallurgical coke and coal bed methane gas. We trace our roots back to 1946 when Jim Walter began a homebuilding business in Tampa, Florida. In 1972, the company developed four underground coal mines in the Blue Creek coal seam near Brookwood, Alabama. Today, Walter Energy has mines in three countries and produced 12.6 million metric tons of coal with sales of $1.9 billion in 2013. This one is next to go under.. I reckon a Big Mac is more necessary than steel production... lolzzz Jim Walter started in Tampa... perhaps he and Nitwit know each other .. lolzzz hehe
