It's all the same stock to me

coal, natural gas, oil, fertilizer, global engineering firm, etc

they all trade together so there is no longer a reason to own 2-3 when 1 will do.

This rather interesting .. Being a 'darling' of the coal stocks for so long:

Patriot Coal Corp said its third-quarter production fell 1.4 million tons short of its earlier forecast and warned that its net income for the period would be hurt by the shortfall.

The company, which produced 8 million tons of coal in the quarter, also said it planned to revise its 2008 outlook during its quarterly earnings release in October.

Patriot Coal blamed a shortage of skilled workers in underground mines, difficult geologic conditions and downtime due to increased inspections from the Mine Safety and Health Administration for the shortfall in production.

And, I'm sure you know about the environmental suit in W. Virginia, which may shut down open surface mining. CNX has only shaft mines in the area, whereas BTU and others either have a mix, or are only surface mines.
