Here is what Horos Asset Management has to say about Ramaco Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:METC) in its Q1 2022 investor letter:

“This quarter we sold our entire stakes in Ramaco Resources. The reason is purely due to their lower upside potential after a very strong performance. In the case of Ramaco Resources, as we mentioned in the previous quarterly letter, its high volatility allowed us to realize high returns on two different occasions (we exited the position and then re-entered it) in a short period of time, demonstrating the importance of rebalancing positions in our portfolio. Meanwhile, although with somewhat different dynamics, our investments in the metallurgical coal companies Ramaco Resources has  strong returns and we sold them during the period.”
