Coal Introduction: Watch the NG Rig Count written by me, [JJ Butler](http://seekingalpha.com/article/726741-coal-introduction-watch-the-ng-rig-count).

I was asked what happened to NRP the last two days. I don’t know. Perhaps a downgrade or a forced seller. It could be rotation a safe name to the risky players. If coal is not permanently dead, the big moves would be in stocks like ACI and ANR. Strangely, once those moves are complete I would look to NRP. The royalty business model is my favorite.
