YET, I am to believe the U.S. is set to recover in early 2009. So we can have it both ways, correct? </I><BR/><BR/>I agree with you. I see three dangers to coal and fertilizer demand. The first is a global depression. My thought is that if a global depression happens then it really doesn't matter which stocks you're in. The second is if some new energy technology is developed meaning we don't need coal anymore. It's a long shot, but always possible. The final one is some sort of mass population extinction. Again, I think a long shot at this point.<BR/><BR/>What other risks do people see?Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14603027333434481007noreply@blogger.com
