Grommit: CLE, WTE. I see you and Spekulatius like CLE. Nice move in that stock today (incl. after hours rise). I initially believed it was too expensive. I'll check it out with my market research team this weekend (i.e. I'll ask my teenage nieces -g-)

As I've said before, I missed the steel stock and coking coal run up - I gave-up just before the run-up. grrrrr. And have not been able to get myself to re-enter positions. (to my regret)

I am holding stocks of steel distributors though. And as a play on Canadian coking coal, I have a very small position in dividend-payer, Westshore Terminals Income Fund, which controls the shipping of the stuff from their port in Vancouver. Canadian symbol is WTE.UN. I own very small of WTSH.pk. Info. about Westshore here:

sedar.com

I got this particular stock from reading SI posts by Taikun. Seems to be a chap helpful and knowledgeable about Westshore.

aside: I'd like to believe in port stocks. As trade increases, they should benefit as they take a $ haircut by charging from all the stuff passing in and out. So I also am holding Huwhy.pk - it's not doing too well now though. (Issues apparently with other aspects of their business (G3 communications))

Guys here following CLE may have already seen this positive BusinessWeek article:

yahoo.businessweek.com

I post fwiw and because I'm still considering an exploratory position.

Aside: a generally positive article. HOWEVER, a big warning as the author has tripped one my basic rules - run like Hell when somebody says the dreaded "poised" word!!! Namely:

"We think the company is well entrenched as the leader in its industry. Moreover, it is poised to grow sales and earnings per share at a fairly strong clip over the next several years."

I see Charlotte Russe is a retailer also without ltd. Some insider buying near current price noted in today's Barron's. Stock apparently out of favor (near lows), but if that's because of product (wrong items, mark downs, shortages), perhaps the next season might see their stuff back in fashion and demand. I'll put CHIC on my watch list and look into it a bit closer.
