  1. no kidding, I have no opinion on BAS, but after trying to figure out a way to do it, I finally came to the conclusion that the only sensible way to take a position in energy was to buy individual stocks.

    It aint easy. I don't advise any amateur (which is what I am) who can't spend 14 hours a day reading and understanding balance sheets and fundamental reports to do it on his own.

    these analysts don't come cheap. And a good one won't tell you whether to buy or sell. Just the facts.

    like the man told me over there in CL, "I don't buy oil. I buy oil wells."

    I regularly trade NG. Anyone else know about the flash crash at the beginning of the year? I was short but didnt exit since it was overnight. Still exited well though.

    Currently short NG at 3260, looking for new lows around 3000.

  3. I bought some NGJ3-NGV3 spreads today. I'll try to buy some NGH3 tonight, tomorrow. I'm looking for 3.33-3.35.

  4. Ok now NGH3 has reached 3.31. Barring a monster reversal to close out the day, I am increasing my target to 3.4.

  7. Yeah as NG kept falling, I noticed the spreads kept creeping up so I decided to buy the NGJ3-NGV3 spreads as opposed to NGH3 outright.

    It paid off today as I was able to get out of my spreads without loss even though NG broke down pretty badly.

    At any rate, I was wrong about NG heading to 3.4 so I'm done going long NG for now.

  8. are their ways to play NG with a smaller nominal investment then in the futures..

    can you play beneficiaries of NG's higher future price..

  9. you are playing the changing demand between the two contracts as well as a direction..
