Natural Gas (UNG): Here is Some More Long Bias Ammo

With factories apparently kicking up as seen from the Philly and Empire State eco reports there is some reason to believe that it is possible for natural gas pricing to start to stabilize. Just the fact that it may be done crashing through lows may be enough to make pricing climb.

The weather has also been factor of late and that bodes well too. Of course there is an abundance of the energy source and there is no end in sight globally. Even so, the opportunity that has recently opened up in China of LNG along with a heavy exposure of speculator’s to the SHORT side, still gives UNG an upward bias for now. (Note: We believe that UNG is not a the best play but provides adequate short-term exposure)
