Indeed, Wall Streeters give the copper company high marks for its prescience in getting into the coal industry ahead of everyone else. Yet that obviously was a mistake on Kennecott's part too. No other big purchaser of a coal company has been bothered by the FTC, even though some might provide clearer examples of potential antitrust violations than Kennecott.
