ANR hitting the gas pedal during reorganization:
Alpha Natural Resources' 5-year business plan goes heavy on gas
November 5, 2015 12:00 AM
By Anya Litvak / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Sometime between July and October, bankrupt Virginia-based miner Alpha Natural Resources decided to hit the gas pedal.
Everything is still fluid, the company warned, as Alpha works to reinvent itself. Still, in a proposed five-year business plan released this week, management revealed its belief that natural gas will play an increasingly important role.
Like other miners who got into gas after shale development began, Alpha dipped its toe into the Marcellus Shale through a 2010 joint venture with Canonsburg-based Rice Energy Inc. It sold its interest to Rice in 2013 and that same year inked another joint venture with EDF Energy to explore some 20,000 acres in Greene County. In July, Alpha paid EDF $126 million to become the sole owner of that program.
Although that seemed like doubling down on gas, everything was up in the air when Alpha filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August. Its initial thoughts were to devote between zero to $15 million to the Marcellus program in the next two years.
Then, in early October, the company presented to lenders its vision, which included leasing more land in Greene County, building out gas gathering infrastructure and spending $400 million over the next five years on the natural gas effort.
Alpha is awaiting the results of its first two wells in Franklin Township that were drilled earlier this year.
Even if the plan were set in stone, gas would still make up a small fraction of Alpha’s revenue and is not projected to be profitable in the next five years. It will, however, eat up one-third or more of the company’s capital expenditures.
Over the next two years, Alpha expects its Cumberland Mine near Waynesburg will be the main moneymaker. It will spend money to expand the operation there in 2016 and 2017.
After that, Alpha believes the market for its metallurgical coal, which is produced in Central Appalachia, will improve to the point where it becomes the company’s main source of revenue. Metallurgical coal is used in steel making.
Andrew Cosgrove, an equity analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said the price forecast that Alpha is using makes him skeptical. “That’s a little worrisome that the met [coal] projection might be a little bit too bullish,” he said, especially since the company’s proposed business plan shows met coal sales driving half of its cash flow toward the end of the decade.
According to Mr. Cosgrove, the conditions currently weighing on met coal prices — such as competition for Alpha’s exports from Russia and other countries’ miners, and slumbering demand from steel mills in the U.S. — aren’t likely to improve in the near future.

Great...new MODS please sticky MoFoNu's post!!!!!!
RI here...enjoying smow ball fights with the kids and having lots of 0.005s, 6s, & 7s in the pocket...getting money through Pharmco, yet, getting meds through CVS & RiteAid is fine for now...looking, however, forward to Pharmco/progressive expansion in 2-4 years from now to the Northeast :)
thats the beauty of it: Its was at a penny despite billions in assets BECAUSE of the expectation that commons might go empty....however, keeping or converting shares with this share structure would be beneficial over issuing new shares should business pick up, and more importantly IF commons get anything of the pie during exiting BK then the slices will be big and the PPS can jump right to under a dollar. What a gap it would be, while others on the OTC keep chasing just emporary 10max-baggers in tickers of companies that compare to ANR as fleas to a tyrannosaurus. And, of course re-listing to NYSE would be a matter of weeks.
Yes...accomplished (finally)...and please sticky your latest chart
Yes...serious!...In and out mentality applying to RXMD is dumb...I spoke in general knowing that the pumpers will come now, some with new aliases, some with stories, some with "knowledge" all trying to create some tall candles and get out. Naive when it comes to more than beer money, intellectually annoying, manipulating newbies...the same old story....just that with RXMD flippers won't have much success.
WE dont like it...and WE will work toward not having this typical thinking (your right on that) influence the RXMD board much....because WE want to have stable development toward BIG returns...RXMD is not a one hit wonder...to apply ATM teller mentality (v.s. bank mentality) to this company/ticker is plain STUPID from 1) a business perspective as well as a 2) technical perspective as well as 3) fundamentals. But you'll come around on that. Have a nice weekend.
New alias...2nd/3rd hand rumors compellingly presented in first posts on a to be breakout board...experienced pumping IMO as seen many times before
fine to read his posts, no need to communicate too much about it IMO
Yes...I communicated with administrators yesterday outlining how 2 mods have not posted on any board on IHub in 5 weeks, not "worked here" for a while, and that RXMD has a lot of developments to be processed......with the request to replace these MODS by the long waiting list....so they finally did it
Lets ask MOD LBDC20002 if he/she is still interested in the job despite the long absence and foremost locate supposed MOD thebearerofgoodnews to kindly make space here
I think you know as well as I that even in the event that the company won't get anywhere in the long run (I do think they will, though, digging through some trenches and delay with the revenue stream coming in at some point from the asian markets) the pps will at some point hit, even if temporarily, the 0.001s...thats all thats needed for the typical OTC retailer to acquire a position of some 10-30M shares at 0.0002..nice weekend
and only 10% short volume...should go up steadily through retail buys without major MM involvement, no manipulation, no boxing, obviously never any dilution...circumstantial OTC stock only and, thus, different trading pattern allowing to strip off the flippers of the last 2 months soon while climbing to a nickel
MODS please sticky INSTAS post (would like to keep moneyfornuting's post)
BOOTHJIP is always active but what about the other MODS....please resign if not interested/following
will at least see a dime at some point this year...and then, if hold, there would be a gap up to a quarter
thanks nate...charts are great
2500 shares won't get it down..EOD and EOW rally before EOM climb likely IMO
earnings date is 2/0/16....thats 11 trding days....so I have one extra finger :)
our little family...still thousands of eyes on this waiting for a breakout...speaking of which: The likely magnificent Q4 financials will be out in just as many trading days away as you have fingers on your hands....TIME TO LOAD or Disconnecting from ECIG = DECISIONTIME finally here after three Qs of observing and DD
generally, I am a skeptical person and it is also not my style to laugh at peoples mistakes...but here I must say - hahaha to those that simply ignore the facts and have weakly sold in the last 4 weeks...yes there are some enthusiastic longs here but overall you guys and newbies could trust the longs, their DD, their intend, their evaluation...its a rare and fair board here.
With that being said...read/think/look at this entry pps in the middle 0.02s and consider the RXMD outlook short term to the next 5 year range. I do not like to talk dollar pps this year, but long term anything can happen (as for other companies in this sector in the past...look up RiteAid, special niche-pharmacies)
As I posted last november and early december already: "IMO after feb 2016 a new era will start...all national and international expansions will show effect...pps as of now is already not reflecting any relationship to current financials anymore (and will catch up in an EOY uptrend)::: Revenues of USD 15.40 million and now growing big, Net Earnings of USD 9.23 million, and Earnings per Share (EPS) of USD 0.09. Gross margins widened from 14.41% to 44.86% compared to the same period last year, operating (EBITDA) margins now -10.75% from -99.97%."
Specifically to your question: Annual Rev 2016 will be ~100M...multiply that by 2 (conservative) and calculate with some non locked QS 100M shares (conservative) you will end up with a market cap/fair market value pps of $2 per share. Do I think it will necessarily be there by EOY...no but possible. Major events could occur such as (pending) govenmental approval of ECIGS in EGYPT (see mansour group distribution inct. of just being a friendly leder/investor, or a way more positive regulation of ecils in US as expected (pending longer than expected for a reason) etc. etc. I do expect the pps, however, stably closing in on a dollar within 6-12 months.
ok...already answered...just MM play as usual (flickering reoccuring 10k asks despite slapping)...no problem...going up!!!
where are these strange ASKS coming from (210k way below the current price)...anyone with real time L2? Weak/stupid retail through MM...OR MM boxing?
Must be incorrect assessment....otherwise there would not be 370M on ask at 0001 ???!
I personally disagree on the other ticker you mention and anyways we should not on this board advertise for others!!
I personally have ~50% of my Rollover IRA (former 401k) invested in RXMD and couldn't be happier since I have shifted to here in september from Mutual Funds (e.g. Biotech; some at their peak back then and now 30% down)
To the general public: RXMD investment makes you independent from the general market place (and as a current bonus frees you from the correction)...is it time to get in? Think about it!
A RS now would run all efforts to the ground...he does not target that scenario
Nahh...even a RS at this pps would not go anywhere and the CEO knows that and thats not his intend...if he can get the business (more or less just one product with so so revenue) running and the debt is not only consolidated (he did a good job on this) but also non toxic cash flow keeps coming then in higher double zeros it would be the first time the thought of a RS could be constructively employed (again, IMO the CEO knows that and he neither plans to run it to the ground nor does he try to dilute just to make money on a lost case).
Its funny...I had the finger on the trigger earlier this day when the ask was 0.045 and the bid 0.04 (100k)....and I just couldn't push the button to sell a little...us longs sit more or less tight at least until a pps of 10 cents...even if I had sold I would have bought back at 0.021 so what would I do with this beer money...nope- I'm going to pay my house off in a year (or less) :)
the +/-40% flipping is coming to an end anyways, now.....might resume after a rather steady climb throughout the next 6 months to dollar range IMO
This convincing late morning consolidation makes an afternoon run past 0.025 very very possible...the current action is expected and,yet, still satisfying
Yes we know...at this point the 50% estimated "short sales" listed are most certainly covering existing short positions, not offering shares....even a short squeeze could kick in if the first tall white candles develop
