Losing coalness?

After posting Resilience this past week, SCC, which I said has the most gorgeous chart, took the opposite price movement.The selldown was apparently driven by the Deutsche Bank analysis of the said issue .

SMDC A few of my holdings include SCC , FPH , and FLI . SCC has, by far, the most gorgeous chart. It's one of those rare issues that
