I have no info but guess that he went short coal when Obama was elected.
If coal goes down...there will be a lot of unused coal transporting train units...so Buffett looses.

György Schwartz will doubtless enjoy this
That's probably less money than he spends on janitors' services for his offices.
People buy less of something when it gets cheaper?
The Chinese are building coal plants at the rate of one every three days.
Maybe Soros is going to dig up that American coal and ship it to China.....and a huge profit for himself, of course.
this is how the left makes there money. Soros is famous for this. if Soros is buying up coal stock my guess is that a lot of politicians that have looked at him as an ally are going to get a rude surprise. George Soros was never a liberal for improving society. he was liberal so that he could create financial chaos and then take advantage of it for personnel gain.
To misquote Ozzy’s little girl. “Who’s gonna clean your toilets mr. soros?”
Soros: Turn on the COAL IS BAD switch.
.... Time passes
.... Coal burning power company values decline
Soros: Turn off the COAL IS BAD switch.
That’s the Soros way.
Scare the crap out of people to make a profit. Works every time.
I trade in ARLP actively. It is the best coal stock and an absolute steal right now.
I almost hope they declare bankruptcy just to wipe out all his holdings.
and if there is an increase in coal production which is then transported, then both Soros (buying the producers) and Buffett (transporting the mined product), win. And so do the ‘Rats — both in the form of campaign contributions and ability to trot out their “we’re for working americans” schtick, just in time for 2016.
LOL! Srsly? With his sneaky deceiving ways he’ll be long gone and that much richer before a crash. How come there isn’t some hacker out there that can drain his accounts?
Will look into it.
well, I figured if they wre close to bankruptcy then maybe he might be catching the falling knife and I did say “almost”.
LOL! Yes you did. :>}
But that’s OK because he gets democrats elected.
