A long position in Walter Energy looked like a hot trade, but all it did was burn Joe Terranova. What does he have to say about the stock, now?

The Liquidator made the fateful call on May 2nd as a bet on metallurgical coal.

“Walter Energy is clearly best positioned right now in the met space,” he said at the time. “And that's what the story is. That's what the demand is about, who has met coal.”

Walter Energy may have it but over the past few weeks investors haven’t wanted it - their stock, we mean. Since Terranova said to go long shares of Walter Energy are down almost 10%.

So what does he think now? Find out in this web extra. Watch the video now!
