  As far as natural gas goes and (UNG). We had an incredible late cold winter and 30% rally in prices during March and April, which we caught as well as a 20-25% break in summer prices. At times, the summer has been hot. For now, we may be range bound the next few months, due to more bearish weather coming up, with cooler weather again at times and no hurricanes. On the other hand, lower rig counts and natural gas being the more favored fuel versus coal, when prices fall below $3.30, are the only friendly arguments I see. Longer term, the development of further infrastructure to export LNG could be a bullish development for natural gas, but is still a long ways off. For now, I expect modest rallies in natural gas, if we have them, to be met with selling heading into September.
