DON'T BUY

For most people, he is not sure that speculating on the commodity is the best way to go. Natural gas prices are very unpredictable. Because of shale gas is not sure there will be much of an increase in gas prices.

DON'T BUY

Natural gas is one of the most volatile commodity out there. A very difficult area to play. This ETF may not necessarily track the actual movement of the commodity perfectly. Would prefer one of the natural gas trusts.

TOP PICK

Tracks physical gas. We are way past the shoulder season. The air conditioners are really humming. There should be a real peak in demand.

SELL

That gas is settled out at a reasonable range and downside is fairly limited. Most of the ETFs go to the market and buy future delivery of the commodity so rebalancing is sometimes monthly, sometimes daily. Given the shape of the curve, he would be a seller.

DON'T BUY

Natural gas ETF. Trades like a commodity and he has gotten rid of about three quarters of his holdings. Can't see where the bottom is on gas.

DON'T BUY

Natural gas ETF. Natural gas and currency are 2 of the most difficult things to predict. If he were going to own natural gas, he would rather own the companies that produce it.

SELL

Natural gas ETF. He does not expect gas to go back up. Recent storage numbers indicated a draw down but injections are going to start relatively soon and we’ll be back into the excess storage situation again.

DON'T BUY

Natural gas. One of the problems with all commodity ETF's is that they tend to trade off the futures market, which tends to give a rollover effect. Would rather hold a basket of commodities within a portfolio.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 19/09. Down 31.6%.) Got stopped out at about 10% down.

DON'T BUY

Natural gas ETF. Unless you are extremely nimble, such as a day trader, this is a hard way to make money as an investor.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 19/09. Down 26.4%.) Got stopped out with a 10%-11% loss.

BUY

Better ETF for longer term holds on Nat Gas.

COMMENT

Very volatile. When you are dealing with any kind of futures contract, you have to anticipate volatility. Treat this as a trading vehicle.

DON'T BUY

Tracks price of the forward contract of natural gas. Things are starting to normalize. To own this you hope for a cold winter and that the manufacturing sector comes back strongly. There are tones of storage out there. Be careful. Would prefer stocks that drill for Nat Gas.
