NEW LISTINGS

Market Vectors?Coal

Alternative energy is hot, but coal may be the hottest alternative of all.

Van Eck launched a new ETF called the Market Vectors?Coal ETF, which is the first fund to offer focused exposure to the coal markets. The underlying index for the fund was up an astonishing 103% in 2007, as high oil prices pushed up demand for the readily available coal.

The fund launched on NYSE Arca on January 14. It charges 0.65% in annual expenses.
