I've been looking for an Index that covers a bunch of coal stocks, like the DOW covers 30 big-name stocks and the S&P500 covers 500 of 'em. I also needed to have historical prices, available from Yahoo. Since I couldn't find such an Index, I made my own. To this end, I generated a spreadsheet, described here. Note that the Coal Index is up over 80%, beating the DOW (at least for the past six months): There's a dozen U.S. coal stocks in the Index and, if I compare that Index to my Canadian coal stocks, WTN and GCE (on the Toronto Exchange), I get this (over the past six months): It makes me very happy! Indeed, one of these coal stocks done good in a trading contest. |
