Cloud Peak Energy (CLD) is a stock that just recently showed up on my radar and I am seeing some big potential here. CLD’s primary focus is on the Power River Basin area in Wyoming and Montana . The surface coal in this area is much cleaner due to less sulfate that those that are mined in the mountaintops of Appalachia . Coal might not be the greenest or cleanest energy option, especially put next to natural gas, solar and wind, however, at this time it is the cheapest option and there is buzz that the demand is expected to grow. Another reason my interest is peaked, is the chart. With low volume trading as the new year comes to an end, I think this is a great one to buy now as I’m anticipating a rally come January.
