Also remember with Cap and trade, BHO is going to bankrupt all coal companies.; 7/18/2009 1:29 PM

A close above 3.75 leads to a push to 4+. NG needs to hold the 3.30-3.20 level to have placed a near term low. Nice; 7/19/2009 2:47 PM

For Wall Street traders who "know" more about the details and timing of the process this kind of thing might be more useful. I might be persuaded otherwise.

On cap n trade, this is fundamental information which again, I'm not smart or confident enough to use.

But yes, I did get "shacked" out of the natural gas market when the pattern I had been watching failed. I agree that a long term bottom is being formed but I suspect that lower prices are in the near future for nat gas.

Good luck to you both though!; 7/19/2009 9:31 PM
