Natural Gas Stocks - Any?

[jackpearson]

What's the purest way to play moves in natural gas thru the stock market? I see there are no ETF's like with oil, gold, or silver.

If you trade futures, you can trade the electronic Natural Gas contracts. However, the emini is sized at a $5000 multiplier (quite a large daily VAR).

Otherwise, Barron's reviewed a stock with a high correlation to NG price ... ticker:

PDC

PDC vs. NG

qg's (nymex mini for gas) multiplier is $2500 per $1 movement, by the way.


Some more diversified picks are DVN and APA. They are heavy nat gas stocks with great earnings numbers.

CNX --Consol Energy Inc.

Not to be confused with CXG-- CNX Gas Corp. as mentioned above.

Natural gas royalty trusts. SJT, HGT for example.
Will be more of a pure NG play than buying an operating company.
