Quote from PAPA ROACH:

Not alone, it does provide buying and is a good sentiment indicator for public investment into commodities again as an asset class. It's kind of funny actually, watching dumb money poor into natty without regard of what will transpire in the very near term. I am riding along with some bull spreads at the moment, but make no mistake that this new new length will provide the puking to finally push us under $3. I can't tell you how high we go and for how long, but the longest time period would be the first week of June. On price, I am getting hammered by producers over the last few days wanting to add shorts to their hedging. Just yesterday, I had a producer sell the balance of may swap at 4.07 and bring gas back online that he had shut in late last month. My point is, as price deviates from fundamentals, producer selling will accelerate, providing stronger resistance.
You have an authentic background in NG and write good stuff.
