Over long periods of gas, there will be a natural decay in net asset value. Short term trading could pay off. Buy high and sell low. Natural gases are doing well right now, but he would prefer to play it through ETFs and equity exposure. Natural gas is a relative winner in the next few years. There has been significant under investments.

PARTIAL BUY
Leverage play for natural gas. Clearly getting a breakout in the short term. Thinks oil is capped out and natural gas should trade relative to oil. Can see front month natural gas contracts going for $5. Forward pricing looks like there is room into next year to move further up. An okay way to do it if you can handle leverage. Not for a long term buy and hold.

The problem with playing these leveraged products is that it is basically a gamble. You are anticipating a short-term move, and in terms of the double leveraged Bull, you are hoping that is going to be positive. This is really a gambling tool, and not something he would like to play. Natural gas has been struggling at its 200-day moving average and is starting to curl lower. The builds in inventory levels over recent weeks have been higher than average. Going forward, we are looking at moderate temperatures in the US, so it doesn’t present that bullish backdrop for a near term rise.
