You should trade futures. You work in O&G?

I don't really understand futures need a hard lesson..........

I don't work Oil and Gas but my brother has a piece of an Oil well "La Cantera" and I get all my news through him and family of that well. Lets just say it produces MASSIVE NATURAL GAS!

Good day to buy July 2014 puts. In the money puts are priced decently today.

I just bought into KOLD at $55. If it keeps dropping, I'm going to keep buying.

Hurt its basically a simple supply and demand issues.......

Natural Gas has a massive supply from US reserves........super cheap come summer once it's restocked with fracking and shale.


This has just been a bitch of a winter and reserves are 15% below normal since fracking and shale has been tapped and producing from 2011.....

Uncharted territories for the reserve.

So by next thursday after this weeks cold front hits the reserve hard again and EIA reports I'd expect Kold @ 49ish! UNG at 23.80s-24.10s

UNG 23 July puts are selling for $2.27. If you bought one put, you would have the right, but not the obligation to deliver 100 shares of UNG at $23 in July 2014. UNG is trading for about $23 today. You're betting UNG will be at about $20.70 in July. If it isn't, you lose about $235.84, predicated on the option expiring worthless in July. You could sell the option anytime between now and then if you want to limit the loss, or take a profit.

A very cheap and simple way to go short.

Selling the Jul 14 26 calls doesn't look bad.

You'd have to make it to Las Vegas. Actually, if you could make it, the room and $120 per day in food are on the casino. I won't be going anywhere cold anytime soon. Get a cheap ticket and I'll buy you an espresso.

I'm going to ride your coattail if you buy any. Let me know so I can mirror. I'm only going to do about $1,000 worth.

I'm going to wait a week before I do anything. If you only want to tie up $1k, then I would trade UNG.

Gas trading $100+ in NE markets last couple days... huge supply constraints. Midwest and NE are fighting each other for gas.

Solid advice, thanks. 24's appear to be cheaper now?

I bought July $23 puts. $24 puts are .71 higher. You would need an UNG share price of about .15 higher with these puts than the $23 puts. Not worth it to me. I need UNG at $20.51 in a worst case scenario. The $23 puts will be worth more than I bough them for long before the price gets to $20.51 if natty gas goes down in price over the summer months.

I sold UNG July 2014 $18 puts and bought July 2014 $20 puts today at a net debit of $46 per contract. The $2 spread limits maximum profits if it is below $18 in July.

heard that in a couple of years many trucking/shipping fleets will be switching to Natural Gas...thus keeping the NG prices up even through the summer. Any truth?
