Next Tuesday, Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI ) will release its latest quarterly results. The key to making smart investment decisions on stocks reporting earnings is to anticipate how they'll do before they announce results, leaving you fully prepared to respond quickly to whatever inevitable surprises arise. That way, you'll be less likely to make an uninformed, knee-jerk reaction to news that turns out to be exactly the wrong move.
Arch Coal has suffered along with the rest of the coal industry as low prices have made it extremely difficult for coal miners to remain profitable. But will rising prices elsewhere in the energy industry finally help the company rebound? Let's take an early look at what's been happening with Arch Coal over the past quarter and what we're likely to see in its quarterly report.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alyce Lomax]
Solazyme is more than a biofuels play like fellow biofuels upstarts like Amyris (NASDAQ: AMRS ) and Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO ) . I purchased shares of Solazyme for the Prosocial Portfolio (I hold shares in my personal portfolio, too) not only for its impressive foray into a nascent field, but also because it had already inked some impressive partnerships. Meanwhile, its alternative oils go much further than simply trying to provide alternatives to fossil fuels. Its microalgae-derived oils can also be used in skin care and food.

I imagine the company has made headway since its initial press release, especially with commissioning for its Moema, Brazil, biorefinery looming. When updates are given on commercial achievements in the months ahead, will you be able to digest the important information that affects your investments? Heading into the homestretch of the first wave of commercial buildout, it is crucially important to understand what Solazyme, Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO ) , and�Amyris� (NASDAQ: AMRS ) spill in press releases -- and the greater detail given in SEC filings.

Acknowledge the future
When thinking about biotechnology I like to encourage investors to take a big-picture approach that goes beyond pharma. Dozens of industrial biotech companies will produce commercial quantities of chemicals, fuels, fragrances, personal-care products, nutritionals, and more by the end of the decade. Two of the more promising investments currently within reach of investors are Solazyme (NASDAQ: SZYM ) and Amyris (NASDAQ: AMRS )
