This is set up similarly to the existing one for crude oil.

It may work the best for short term traders who intend to buy and sell in a period of a month or two or less.

It appears the biggest drawback to these type of funds is that they buy futures contracts on the nearest month. When those futures are about to expire, they buy the next month. However the next month may be at a higher price, which it frequently is for oil. Therefore the fund doesn't capture all the market gain sometimes.

However if month to month futures contract prices stay close together, it may be suitable for investors with a longer trading horizon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')atural Gas Week (Monday, April 23, 2007)

There's a new way for investors and hedgers to manage their exposure in natural gas, called the United States Natural Gas Fund, which entered the equities marketplace last week. Gas futures traders said the new fund could be a bullish driver for natural gas futures, possibly increasing liquidity, and ultimately enticing new players into the market.

Should we have a Natural Gas record thread like the Gasoline and Oil threads? I purchased my new efficient furnace two years ago because Natural Gas hit $11/ccf and I was loosing too much money in winter, however since then things have settled into the 5-8 range and seem fairly steady depending on the season. WHen do you think Natural Gas will spike way up again? Dante? Pupp? Shortonoil? Anyone?
