James River Coal (NASDAQ:JRCC): Bouncing Through a Bottom in 2012 but October 2011 was a rockier time for James River who were about to experience a devastating sell off culminating (or some think) in a mid-summer bottom this year. If this is a bottom (and no one knows for sure) it came after shares sold off from $12 p/s to under $2 p/s in a grinding display of unwind. The stock continued its rally off these August lows in $1.75, and trading looked much like a completed pattern with all the trimmings of a large shareholder exiting, and exiting poorly. I’m sure the industry fundamentals (China Demand) had much to do with the unwind, and shares have been up recently as Chinese demand resurfaces as a market driver for Coal.JRCC is engaged in mining, processing, and selling bituminous, steam-, and industrial-grade coal.
