Positive article about coal demand today

It looks like the jump is on a positive articles about demand for coal rising in Vietnam, plus another positive article elsewhere about the Philippines.

The only problem is that this year looks like at most maybe another 10MM metric tons; and the prices range from $9/mt to $38/mt, depending on the kind of coal bought.

I also ran across an article about a large coal producer in Poland that is getting a government support in order to stay in business.

While I think this all helps in the long term, like years, it does not look like enough help to stop BTU from filing on April 15, 2016 for Chapter 11.
