Today in Commodities: Whole Lotta Nuthin'

Amaranth went all in on a futures calendar spread so what they were doing was much more risky than what I'm attempting to do. In terms of a hedge fund ..that is speculation?? Who knows. I expect natural gas prices to be higher within the next 30/90 days and then potentially $6/7 1 yr from now.

Today in Commodities: Fasten Your Seat Belt

You may want to re-read our comments...we still like natural gas. We're buying clients out til' November currently and have suggested to buy back their top leg on their October $1 call spreads. We are giving the trade til' the end of September before we claim we are right or you claim we are wrong.

Today in Commodities: The Rubber-Band Effect

I run a commodity brokerage firm "MB Wealth" and these clients are investors that trade through us. I have no cousin Ed and I go to a barber not a hair stylist.
