"Easy. As soon as the BIG investors stop taking their money out of the energy sector the stock will settle and level off. The trading will have very little volume for awhile. The PR's will come out about production and the BK will have a decent agreement for the company. Trading will start up again in the energy sector to bring up the PPS in stocks. QMNM will also rise. This will all take up to 6 months or a little less by now. Somewhere into March you will see a change in PPS for most energy stocks. Remember, this is all based my experienced opinion and only my own experience. Hope that helps you and other posters."
Very good analysis. I think you have correctly identified the factors affecting the market right now. Although 6 months seems like much too long for a turnaround, that probably means that it is a reasonable guess, since most things end up taking a lot longer than we think they ought to. It is probably because our mind can always race ahead faster than events can occur. I don't think we will get a supportive PR until it can contain both good news about the BK process and good news of coal production and facilities/equipment. Now, put all that together, say in the next 30 days and we will see some action. Even K-O-P will want to cheer!
