Mining Stock Recommendations==================== Recommendation # 1 ==================== The United States of America has about 270 billion tons of coal, or 25% of the worlds reserves. There is enough coal in this country to meet our energy needs for many years to come. Yes, it emits vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, further compounding the effects of global warming. And mining our vast reserves may very well discourage research into alternative energies. However, coal is readily available and burns cleaner now than it has at any other point in history. Most importantly, it can be produced inexpensively in comparison to other forms of energy. I have islolated a company that provides its coal products throughout the USA. It has mining projects in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and West Virginia. Also, very impressively , this company provides mine products and services. Some of the services provided include mine hoists, ash and scrubber sludge removal and mine safety equipment. As of Dec. 31, 2006, the company had 633 million tons of proven reserves. Analyst estimate growth at 11% for the next five years. Combine that with a current dividend yield of 6%, and you have strong potential for long-term growth. ===================================== Company: Alliance Resource Partners LP Symbol: ARLP ===================================== Disclaimer: I am not a registered investment advisor.
