Natural Gas Investing, Something Important You Need to Know / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: The_Energy_Report
Shale gas changed everything, according to professional geologist and Pierce Points Newsletter Writer Dave Forest. Using hydraulic fracturing technology, North American gas producers have unlocked trillions of cubic feet of new, unconventional gas reserves from shale over the past decade. "U.S. natural gas output has taken off since 2006," he says, "as shale plays like the Haynesville, Marcellus and Eagle Ford have come online." So, with all this new supply, why has U.S. gas demand remained relatively flat? Obviously, the new world of gas supply and demand has not been kind to prices. What will drive them higher? In this Energy Report exclusive, Dave reveals that Eagle Ford producers could give their gas away and still make a tidy profit on the shale wells selling nat gas liquids.

How to Profit From the Rebound in Natural Gas Prices / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Money_Morning
Jack Barnes writes:
I love autumn. The leaves start to turn color, and the first hint of winter is invigorating. It is also a great time to peruse each of the financial markets for the shorter-term, seasonal trades that are always lurking - if you know where to look, that is.
One place that's worth looking at right now is the global currency markets, where a major war is currently being waged. As part of the so-called "race to the bottom," the U.S. dollar is down 14% since June. This drop in the greenback has come at a time when a major bull market in commodities has broken out everywhere in the world.

Natural Gas Catches a Bid as U.S. Drowns in Supply; Bernanke Cheers / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Trader_Mark
Since commodities have little to do with actual supply and demand in the physical market (as the world swims in oil, and the U.S. in natural gas), and everything to do with the supply of fiat currencies chasing physical assets, let us see if Bernanke can cause natural gas to take off. This has been the one huge laggard of the year, as nat gas is difficult to transport and hence reflects the domestic economic situation more than most other commodities.

Higher Prices Ahead for Natural Gas / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Today's action in natural gas and in the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG) argues for higher prices. Increasingly, the pattern that continues to unfold in the UNG since early October has taken the form of a rounded bottom, which if accurate argues for upward pressure into key near-term resistance plateaus at 6.00/05, and then at 6.20/25, each of which if hurdled will trigger potentially powerful short-covering that will propel prices towards my optimal next target zone of 6.60-.70.

The Liquefied Natural Gas Cartel Idea: On the Road to Another OPEC? / Politics / Natural Gas
By: Global_Intel_Report
As oil sees its image tarnished from the disastrous oil spills that took place off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Dalian, China, and as the most promising oil fields remain off limit to the Western oil majors, gas is gaining in popularity. Gas is present in large quantities and in many countries of less questionable reputation such as in the United States and is also less harmful to the environment than oil. Though gas is not intended to replace oil, some gas-rich countries such as Russia and Iran are strongly advocating for a gas cartel to regulate the industry, which can explain the reluctance of Russia to adopt sanctions towards Iran at the United Nations as both countries heavily rely on the income generated by their natural resources.
