Trading Natural Gas
- Thread starter unconventional wisdom
- Start date
My thought process is simply that natural gas prices are currently high and will likely go down at some point in the future. I don’t want to short outright in case there’s a supply-crunch and price surge. And correct me if I’m wrong, but all things being equal, doesn’t UNG naturally decline in value due to rolling options forward?
UNG is a basket of the front NG contracts. Not sure about the compositions now. If NG contracts stay backward and keep rolling back up, then UNG is bullish.
But NG and UNG are entirely trading vehicles. They are not good for investing. You really never know where they should stay at. One month hot or cold weather can move price by $1, either way or both ways.

The rolled futures volume in NG is far greater than the rolled options volume. So much so that ETF's and big Commercials use the Swaps markets more and more.

Seldom/\ but kept long tern NG charts so ETFs every now + then.
I gave away my Billionaire Book by Pickens. Good thing for me i took a hint also how he went bankruot on NG, even though he was in that business all his life.
And in fairness, could blamegame part of it on his female banker\like the wolverine, T Boone said=she liked to piss on everything she did not eat
