What Short-Sellers Are Missing With Cliffs Natural Resources
It might not be the most loved stock, but there are enough reasons not to hate Cliffs Natural Resources as much as Wall Street does.
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/01/05/short-sellers-missing-cliffs-natural-resources-clf.aspx
Notice that this news article was never posted like all the other negative fool articles are.
Being 58million shares short tells the real story here.
No, Section 201 of the 1974 Trade Act. Presidents Ronald Reagan used it in the 1980s and George W. Bush enacted it in the 2000s.
Nolan has a bill in Congress that would impose a five-year ban on steel imports to help the market recover without having riders attached to it like the bill before the break.
The iron ore and steel markets are cyclical in nature, eventually the market will correct itself as it always does. With a profitable core segment that is less subject to international market influences, Cliffs Natural Resources should outlast the rough parts of this market since it has followed through with plans to shutter its nonprofitable business segments. Cliffs' position in the iron ore market makes it hard to justify hating this company's stock as much as Wall Street does right now with a brand new DRI segment with new electric arc customers already aboard.
CGE Energy, CGEI Domestic FUEL spotlight.
You’re seeing the clean energy revolution continue to build momentum,” said Keefe.
Something must be brewing as everything is leaning towards a massive pop.
CGE Energy is also in the midst of bringing to market their own patented vertical-axis, small-wind turbine, called WIND•e20. The 105-ft. tall turbine is being manufacturing by Burtek Enterprises, a market leader in safety critical applications.
“With increased economics, the ITC extension also allows our WIND•e20 turbine to serve an unlimited amount of people around the world,” Zaplitny stated.
Small wind innovations play into a more comprehensive and diverse solution for the U.S. economy to exhibit lower carbon use and increase job growth. Experts say that the tax credit extension will stimulate more than $125 billion in new investments for the U.S. economy.
“Future focused leaders in both Houses have now shown their support for boosting our economy and create thousands of jobs across America while reestablishing the U.S. as the global leader in clean energy,” concluded Zaplitny.
No doubt, it's been a tug of war today.
Power hour may get heated again. What a battle hey.
Every morning, 1.70's are back up. They have a pattern of pulling it back at the beginning of each session, that's how I got 1.50 the other morning.

I'm not kidding Bud, check this out, it's happening.
This is why I called the bottom and bought heavy at 1.50 today.
And it only just begun as we will see more and more sanctions with a possible ban on all foreign imports. It's just getting started. History repeating itself.
Steel imports down 23% in November; pace for 39.6M tons
Posted On December 30, 2015
WASHINGTON D.C. — As the U.S. Department of Commerce starts slapping tariffs on steel dumpers, imports are finally starting to fall.
Preliminary steel imports plunged by 23 percent in November, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Imposition Of Punitive Tariffs On Steel Imports To Boost Prospects Of Domestic Steel Producers

Shorts had better start covering fast.
$CLF Bottom is in, buying pressure building fast. 4 to 1 on the bid ask.
We're going to find out shortly.
I had thought maybe Cliffs was buying shares as they were authorized to repurchase 200mm with a Dec 31, 2015 deadline to do so.
I was, trials were suppose to run through the 1stQ of 2016 and those shipments going out are way beyond any trial run shipment.
I'm telling ya, Gonclaves was playing like he wasn't going forward with DRI because of market conditions when his entire intent was to go full force into DRI when they idled Hibbing and converted it and have been hiring plant positions from the bench.
DRI is a completely different market and brand new segment for Cliffs the hedge funds weren't thinking about.
It's game on for DRI and the ships set a sail prove it beyond any doubt.
They already announced it in Oct.
DRI trial on track; viable long-term commercial production will depend on market conditions:
The Company completed the production of its first trial round of 60,000 tons of DR grade pellets at North
Shore in Minnesota and are shipping the pellets to customers’
$CLF Cliffs is shipping massive amounts! Watch the boats for the turn around and look at the massive amounts being shipped!
With these massive amounts being shipped and Cliffs hiring new plant positions, this tells me that the DRI super flux pellet is currently being delivered.
Check this out and you be the judge as no shorting hedge fund can tell me any different. With DRI now in the picture, Cliffs is going to make the turn around of all time.
Watch and learn as shorts get burned.
CLF is going to have an excellent 4 quarter reporting. The massive amounts began shipping in late November and are going strong. Below is just for the month of December.

That's why I'm buying! My DD says fortunes will be made again when you watch the crowd and go the other direction. I made a bundle last time and will make a fortune this time around. It's simply history repeating itself with the same ole song and dance if you do the research on how, when, and why the cyclical cycle plays out.
CLF will come back even stronger than before. This is just the beginning and the music has just begun.
12/31 As the U.S. Department of Commerce starts slapping tariffs on steel dumpers, imports are finally starting to fall. Preliminary steel imports plunged by 23 percent in November, according to the American Iron and Steel Institute.
The United States imported 2.3 million net tons in November, which is down 22.7 percent as compared to October. Finished steel imports fell 15.6 percent in November to 1.9 million net tons.
Cut length plate imports rose 42 percent in November, and oil country tubular goods rose by 12 percent.
Imports captured 25 percent of the overall market share in November, the lowest it's been all year. Foreign-made steel has attained a record 29 percent market share so far this year, leading to layoffs and mill idlings nationwide.
Last year, cheap imports, which are often subsidized by foreign governments, took a record 28 percent of the market share in the United States. Service centers, some of the largest buyers of steel, have said they would prefer to buy American but if they don't buy a certain amount of cheap imports they will be beat by competitors on price.
So far this year, the United States has imported 36.2 million tons of steel, an 11 percent decrease as compared to the same period in 2014. Finished steel imports total 29.3 percent, a 5 percent decline.
Reinforcing bar, standard pipe, line pipe and wire drawn imports have all risen by double digits.
Imports are on pace to reach 39.6 million tons this year, including 32 million tons of finished steel products that don't require any further processing at finishing lines or steel centers in the United States.
To put that number in perspective, U.S. steelmakers typically produce 90 million to 100 million tons of steel a year.
NW Indiana Times
1/2 - U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, a Democrat who represents Minnesota's Iron Range, which provides iron ore to the steel industry, is calling for a five-year ban on any steel imports.
The United States currently imposes 157 anti-dumping and countervailing tariffs against foreign-made steel, but they're often too low, and trade agreements are too riddled with loopholes for them to matter, Nolan said.
Minnesota has lost 1,750 mining and steelworker jobs in its Iron Range as a result of the import crisis, where cheap and often subsidized steel imports have captured nearly a third of the market share in the United States.
Nolan is proposing halting all foreign steel and steel products from entering America for five years, and also urging President Barack Obama to use his executive authority to impose tariffs high enough to block all foreign steel imports.
"We must confront and stop the illegal dumping of millions of tons of low-grade, foreign government-subsidized steel that has sent the Iron Range taconite mining industry – and America's steel industry – into the steepest decline in decades," Nolan said.
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Merrillville, said he has not cosponsored the legislation but says imports must be cracked down on.
"However, I share his sentiment that we must continue to do all that we can to stop the influx of illegal steel imports," Visclosky said.
"I am fighting every day to protect American steelworkers and manufacturers. We must hold other countries accountable to the same labor, safety, environmental, and market standards that we adhere to.”
The president could immediately end the crisis that led to layoffs and mill idlings nationwide by imposing tariffs that would make it unprofitable to ship steel into the United States, Nolan said. President George W. Bush took a similar action when steelmakers such as Bethlehem Steel and LTV Steel went bankrupt in the early 2000s, at a time when imports weren't as bad as they are now.
"We are asking the President for action the equivalent of what President Bush did in 2002 when our mining and steel industries faced similar dire crises," Nolan said.
"Bush used his executive authority to impose dramatic tariffs that had the effect of a moratorium. President Reagan acted in similar fashion in the 1980s, and in both cases our mining and steel industries quickly rebounded. If those dedicated 'free-traders' could see the light and stand up for American jobs and American workers, there's no reason President Obama can't do the same today."
America's steel industry should be doing well, Nolan said. But foreign steelmakers have muscled in with subsidies as high as 255 percent, which American companies don’t get.
"To be clear, there is plenty of demand for steel in the United States," Nolan said.
"Domestic steel consumption rose by 11.7 percent in 2014 alone. Unfortunately, foreign steel imports jumped by 36 percent last year, capturing their highest share of the U.S. market on record – and limiting growth in our domestic industry to just 3 percent. So the simple fact is – increased U.S. consumption is being supplied by illegal, subsidized foreign steel."
