Which is a commodity , used mainly in power stations or for the smelting of iron



free stock charts from uk.advfn.com



Commodities are in the doldrums and so is China


Coal for power stations is becoming an issue re Global warming ... so their use will cease in many westernised economies

As it does , there will be an over supply

Note where APF lies support wise

It surprises me that certain investors have bought here in the last 12 months








This guy who I like got it right , the share price now sits on the blue support line




Poor results and the blue line might well break

It's pretty much a straight play on Australian coal.

[buywell3] 06/8/2015 09:00

Do you guys agree that APF is a play on commodities ?

Rio Tinto 2015 half-year results today.

Some extracts concerning/mentioning Kestrel.

www.riotinto.com


1.

Thermal and metallurgical coal prices have continued along the declining trend they followed through most of 2014. Global supply continues to expand rather than contract as widespread cost reduction initiatives across the industry have resulted in additional tonnes being placed into the market. In both products the influence of Chinese supply has also been key, resulting in reduced net-import levels.


2.

The Copper & Coal group's underlying earnings of $393 million were 40 per cent lower than 2014 first half, but 13 per cent higher when adjusted for movements in prices, exchange rates, energy costs and inflation. This solid performance reflected increased sales volumes from Oyu Tolgoi and the ramp-up of Kestrel.....


3.

Average prices in 2015 first half were generally lower than 2014 first half. Copper declined 14 per cent to 268 cents per pound and gold decreased seven per cent to $1,206 per ounce. Thermal and coking coal prices declined further, averaging $63 and $113 per tonne during 2015 first half, respectively.


The total impact of price changes on the Copper & Coal group, including the effects of provisional pricing movements, resulted in a decrease in underlying earnings of $437 million compared with 2014 first half.


4.

Hard coking coal production was 13 per cent higher than 2014 first half, as a result of improved production rates at Kestrel which continues to ramp up towards nameplate long-wall capacity of around six million tonnes.

Semi-soft coking coal production was five per cent higher than 2014 first half, reflecting mine production sequencing at the Hunter Valley Operations. Thermal coal production was in line with 2014 first half, with increased tonnage at Hail Creek, through a processing plant by-product stream and a strong operational performance, offset by the impact of wet weather in the Hunter Valley.


5.

A long-wall changeover at Kestrel is planned for the second half of 2015.

Remember that you always sling the mud first (recent "mental health test", "monkey post/picture" and neilyb's "Broadmoor" comments - all from Friday and all unprovoked).

but when, after considerable patience on my side, you get your own medicine back you don't like it. so don't do it in the first place.

accept that there are other viewpoints than yours on the share.

discussing the merits and demerits of the share and sector in an open and polite non-personalised forum is a useful tool for everyone with much to be learnt by all.

Yes I most certainly am asking you for a physical challenge. I am glad that you are ready.

It involves moving your fingers, wrists and arms.

Here is the challenge.

Tap out a response to the following question:




-Have you been saying for the last two years that the share price would go up? And has it?



This physical challenge also requires three additional important skills. Thought, honesty and integrity.


Are you up to the challenge?


It is not for me to say whether you are a coward. Let others judge you on this point at the result of the challenge.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

I thought investors on the stock market were supposed to be gentlemen. Surely this is the moment for a dawn meeting with pistols not yah yah deh yar yar. I have been an investor in APF for many years and have made money. Still have a reasonable holding and although times are tough for any commodity holdings I think I'll still carry on holding some and maybe even add a few to tuck away until the inevitable swing back to higher prices. Thats the way I've worked for forty years of investing and am too old to be influenced by anything on BBs. They are great fun reading though!!

[christh] 01/8/2015 07:10

Why are you calling me such?

Are you calling me a coward?

What are you implying?

Own up, explain, are you asking me for a physical challenge?

I am ready if that's the case!

QP - straight out of Broadmoor !!

CWA1,

Spot on, but see 7495 for how deeply embedded these guys are. Even QP who loves to contribute some bearish info on APF has thrown his rattle out of the pram. Possibly understandable but take the week-end off everyone..

[christh] 31/7/2015 13:39

[cwa1] 31/7/2015 13:38

Possibly time to move on guys? Be the bigger person and agree to disagree then let the board get back to discuss the positives AND negatives of APF. Cheers.

you are the mouse, but more likely a monkey, a baboon.

He is summed up by post 7329.

bolador, people are different, surely you can agree with that? QP follows the stock closely, so what? Some I have sold I instantly forget about and some I also follow closely.

[bolador] 31/7/2015 10:11

RCTurner2,

"People who sell a specific stock tend to be biased against it consciously or unconsciously".

Well,maybe. I for one do not know what my unconscious mind is thinking but as to the conscious side if I sell a stock I do not feel pressed to go on and on about it. For one thing I would rather spend time looking for a replacement stock if funds were free to invest.

As to APF,despite the appalling commodity markets of the last few weeks the share price has held in the low eighties despite being xd 4p. Frustrating for bears.
