The legendary investor Peter Lynch once mentioned that he made 20 times his money on Philip Morris (now Altria Group), when it was the most hated stock in America. William Thorndike Jr., the author of The Outsiders, did the same thing with the coal and natural gas company Consol Energy.
I remember tracking his insider purchases from 2015 through 2018 both before and after the company split into two separate public companies, one focused on the coal business (which merged with Arch Resources to create Core Natural Resources this year) and another on the natural gas business (CNX Resources). Thorndike at least tripled his money on those purchases.
