There appear to be a couple misplaced zeroes here.  Peabody stock was more than $100 in 2011 (not $1,000), and Arch Coal stock was between $300-$400 in 2011 (not $3,600).   But the drop is still dramatic- a more than 99 percent drop in stock price for Arch- more than 90 percent in the last year alone. As Merle Haggard sang, “……  like a snowball headed for hell.”

Stock in Peabody coal was selling for over $1000 per share in 2011, not it is at $13.00

Arch Coal was at $3600 in 2011, now it is at $1.50.

 

The WV Legislature is convinced that "Coal's Best Days Are Ahead!"

Bankruptcy expected for Arch Coal, a reflection of industry woes

Climate policies make a rebound for coal unlikely.
