The New Met Coal Powerhouse

By -
Rumors that began circulating prior to the close on Friday were finally confirmed Saturday afternoon that Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) had an agreement to purchase Massey Energy (MEE) for $69.33 a share based on Fridays closing price for ANR. This deal comes as little surprise to anybody in the market following the turbulent 2010 MEE faced after the Upper Big Branch explosion back in April. Then more recently, the company placed itself on the auction block after its long time CEO departed and ANR has been speculated as the top candidate for a merger.

The combined companies will become the 3rd largest metallurgical (met) coal miner in the world. Met coal is the coal needed by China and other BRIC nations to produce steel for the massive infrastructure projects they all have under way......

    Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

    Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

    By -
    Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.
