Coal gets a bad rap. Environmentalists call it a dirty fuel, while Santa Claus uses it to punish naughty little boys and girls. That really is a shame because coal has the power to produce a lot of energy, as well as high-paying jobs. Not only that, but coal produces some really good pizza.

My wife and I stopped by a pizza place the other night which is known for baking it in coal-fired ovens. Believe it or not, coal was the fuel of choice for pizzerias early last century. This restaurant goes back to those roots and uses coal because it delivers a unique flavor and consistency that's not possible from wood or gas ovens. I can certainly agree with that statement; the pizza was fantastic.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Michael Shulman]
The not-so-small generic drug maker Impax Laboratories (NASDAQ: IPXL) has arguably the best manufacturing technology for time-released drugs in the entire generic industry.
Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) patent for its $11 billion cholesterol drug Lipitor expires this year, and we know IPXL believes it has the expertise to manufacture a sophisticated statin such as Lipitor given recent legal actions concerning Merck’s drug Vytorin, a combination of a competing statin and a blood pressure drug. In other words, IPXL has the technical expertise to enter this market should it choose to do so.
Two other major product introductions are anticipated in 2011 — generic Concerta for ADHD and generic Solodyn for bacterial infections, currently with combined sales of $1.8 billion.
My target for the stock is $35-$40 in one to two years. IPXL is also the possible target of an acquirer.
