Hallador Energy Co (HNRG) is a good buy for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy and $50,000-$100,000 available for investment. The company's recent capacity contracts, which lock in favorable pricing through 2028, provide strong revenue visibility and growth potential. While technical indicators show mixed signals, the long-term outlook and analyst upgrades support a buy decision.
