I picked this as a long on July 22, 2009, and it's my worst recommendation on this site. UNG is flawed security. On July 22, 2009 when this recommendation was issued, reasoning was Natural Gas spot prices were pushing new unwarranted lows, the October 2009 contract traded for $4.00 and the November contract traded for $4.65. Oct contract is closed now, but Nov still trades. Oct 2009 contract closed around $4.00 even. Nov 2009 contract now trades around $5.00. So had I bought futures, I'd have done a little better than break even. Instead UNG lost money, big time. I won't bothe...

So NG is so cheap on the spot market right now, you can buy a bunch of it, store it, sell the long-dated futures, and pocket the margin. Got a tank in the back yard? It really doesn't matter for longer term investors whether we have a warm winter this year, or how much gas in the storage tanks overflowing. What matters is, a cheap commodity automatically sparks demand. Whether this comes from utilities building more gas-turbine plants, or people using NG cooking grilles and golf carts. At some point, the market corrects. This commodity has the capability of really spiking hard. ...

I have been looking to go bullish on Natural Gas for quite some time. I have read some intriguing articles on how the "ratio" of Oil to Nat. Gas is at an all time high a.k.a. Unit Price of Oil : Unit Price of Nat. Gas *> * than what is historic. I just looked to see if there is a recent article. Here's an excerpt of one from http://www.cnbc.com/id/31174107: "The divergence of these energy commodities has some investors believing a price correction could be in place. Indeed, the average price for natural gas in the past twelve months was $6.511 / million BTU, while the average ...

Here Comes the Triple Whammy If you pull up a crude oil chart (or USO, the popular oil ETF), you will quickly see that oil has already worked its way through a multi-month bottoming process.

Despite attracting little in the way of investor interest in terms of trading volume and net assets, the iPath Global Carbon ETN (GRN) has outpaced the S&P 500 Index, U.S. Oil Fund (USO), U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG), and Central Appalachian Coal Futures (QL) (down 28.5%) over the past three months. Since diverging from oil and natural gas in late July, the global price of carbon is still trading above its low point at that time despite a global unwind of leverage which has hit commodities especially hard.
