FCG vs. ETF Alternatives
FCG Description
The First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield, before fees and expenses, of an equity index called the ISE-Revere Natural Gas Index. The ISE-Revere Natural Gas IndexTM is an equal-weighted index comprised of exchange-listed companies that derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the exploration and production of natural gas. The Index is constructed by establishing the total population of stocks listed in the U.S. of companies involved in the exploration and production of natural gas and then eliminates stocks whose natural gas proved reserves do not meet certain requirements.

- Friday, July 6, 2012, 4:49 PM While natural gas futures sold off today (like many other commodities), Henry Hub gas spot prices rose 1%. That helped some natural gas names rally on a down day. CHK +2%. APL +1.8%. OKS +1.2%. EROC +1.2%. 4 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 3:28 PM Natural gas flies higher, moving to $2.43. Chatter is centered around DHS advising that gas pipeline companies have been under cyberattack for several months. UNG +4.1%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, May 7, 2012, 10:07 AM "You have stretched the rubber band ... as much as you can," says an analyst, not expecting utilities to switch from coal to natural gas much more after coal accounted for just 37% of electricity production in February (46% a year ago). Cheap gas can actually hurt some power producers as it drives down wholesale prices faster than costs. 16 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 9:02 PM Maybe another sign the long slide in natural gas is nearing its end, legendary trader John Arnold is hanging up his spurs after a couple of years of unsatisfactory returns, according to sources. Gas prices dove by a nickel on the news as some believe Arnold's Centaurus Fund will need to unwind positions, while others say his departure just reinforces poor market sentiment. 5 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 3:19 PM Natural gas is flying higher, +4.7%, perhaps encouraged by the fact that producers are cutting back on drilling. "The Jeff Gundlach trade is having an insanely good day today," writes Joe Weisenthal. The bond man said last week he would like to go long natty/short Apple with 100X leverage. Apple -3.1%. 7 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Monday, April 30, 2012, 7:38 AM The number of rigs drilling for natural gas in the U.S. falls to 613, the lowest level in 10 years as low prices force producers to cut back. Perhaps anticipating slowed production, gas prices last week pulled back from their free fall. The number of rigs drilling for oil was off a hair, but remains near a 25-year high. Comment! [Energy]
- Thursday, April 26, 2012, 12:51 PM Jeff Gundlach stirs things up at the New York Yacht Club, the bond man telling a luncheon if he were master of the universe (isn't he?), he would be short Apple and long natural gas with 100X leverage (prev. on NG). On the Fed: There's no inflation only if you look at house prices and wages, and yesterday "added another dose of confusion" to the mix. 34 Comments
- Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 5:18 PM "It's like investing in gold in 1997," says bond man Jeff Gundlach of his favorite investing idea - natural gas - which DoubleLine is accumulating in one of its funds. On the question of QE3, he says we're already doing it - it's called Operation Twist - and when it's over he expects equities to struggle. Stock valuation in general right now? The PE on major indices should be in the single digits. Q&A here. Blog here. 12 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas, U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 4:31 PM The nominal price of natural gas dipped below $2 to the lowest price in 10 years, but adjusted for inflation, the price has fallen below its 1994 level. It might be the lowest price ever, suggests Mark Perry, but the EIA's price series only goes back to 1994. 14 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 3:31 PM Canadian lenders are doing their part to slow the glut of natural gas by pulling in loans to producers. "Anybody that's at 50% gas-weighted is in some jeopardy here," says an analyst. Compton Petroleum (CMZPF.PK) plummeted 40% this week after its lenders reduced a facility by $30M to $110M. Comment! [Energy]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 2:44 PM Natural gas futures drop below $2 for the first time since Jan. 2002, as weak demand and robust production have sent prices sliding 33% YTD. While the number of working U.S. gas rigs has fallen 27% Y/Y, gas output remains high because most wells produce a mix of oil and gas regardless of classification; high oil prices thus often effectively subsidize the cost of continued gas production. 7 Comments [Commodities]
- Thursday, April 5, 2012, 10:37 AM It's another stomach-churning dive in natural gas prices as EIA data shows a larger than expected inventory build (42 bcf vs. 34 bcf). May futures -2% to $2.095. UNG -1.4%. A natural gas producer ETF, however, is in the green, FCG +0.4%. Comment! [Commodities, Energy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 12:49 PM "The worst part has got to be over," says Wilbur Ross of natural gas, conceding his purchase of Exco (XCO) was a bit early. "(It) doesn't give cancer... very cheap per Btu... and is less pollutive than oil or coal." Not only will it become a bigger portion of domestic energy supply, but the export possibilities are outstanding. 5 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 10:05 AM A deceleration in the growth of natural gas supply over coming years may be in the cards, posits Robert Sinn, noting the price has now fallen below the all-in production cost for Ultra Petroleum (UPL), one of the industry's lowest-cost operators. Combined with the potential for increased demand, "it's possible to see some light at the end of today's dark tunnel." 4 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, March 29, 2012, 8:58 AM With warm weather about to allow for even higher natural gas inventories, the country's 4T cubic foot storage capacity could get hit by mid-August, literally causing the price to go negative as operators like Kinder Morgan (KMI) turn away product. Low prices are at work increasing gas usage, but it may not come in time to prevent red prices this summer. 13 Comments [Energy]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 8:36 AM "The idea that inflation is gone forever ... (and) these artificially low rates can last, is silly," says Wilbur Ross, calling long-term Treasurys the greatest bubble. Turning to natural gas, where his big investment in XCO is sucking wind, he says he's buying more. "We like very much to invest in companies during time-limited problems." Comment!
