Any thoughts on natural gas for this summer? Natural gas companys have been lagging the oil companys and could catch up(I'm thinking 20%)and if a heat wave hits the USA and they have another bad hurricane season the natural gas companys could go much higher.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?
or does anybody know a better natural gas play?

A options gives you the right buy, but not the obligation to buy(call option) or short(put option) 100 shares of stock. Options increases volatility dramatically.
I would go into more detail, but I think I would confuse you more than I would help you.


You should look at "Jim Cramer's Real money" if your just looking for an overview in options.


If you want to know everthing about stock options you should read "Getting Started in Options 5th edition" by Michael C. Thomsett.


Another options book is "Options as A Strategic Investment" by Lawrence McMillan gives you a comprehensive, scholarly detailed explanation of most option plays. It also introduces you to Futures trading, arbitrage...etc.

Back on the original topic [Smile] I'm no commodities expert but right now natural gas stores are extremely high. I'd wait for stores to go down or a hurricane to come before investing in them. Plus the market is in a downtrend which doesn't help any.
