Shares of Walter Energy (NYSE:WLT) traded down over 17 percent Friday and reached at levels not seen since March 2004. Making matters worse for the beleaguered coal maker are the facts that Walter's decline has been accrued on more than triple the average daily volume and that the stock is currently halted for news pending.Although Walter accounts for just 1.93 percent of the Market Vectors Coal ETF's (NYSE:KOL) weight, the fund is showing it is not immune to Walter's woes. KOL is down 2.7 percent Friday on nearly double its average daily turnover after earlier touching a new 52-week low. Scratch that. This is a new 50-month low for KOL. That is right. If KOL closes below $19 today, which looks poised to do, it will be the first time since April 2009 the ETF has done that.Interestingly, investors have stock by KOL even as it has made a series of new lows and severely lagged the broader market. At the start of trading Friday, KOL was down 24.6 percent year-to-date compared to a 12.4 per...
