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, April 5, 10:32 AM Bill Barrett (BBG +5.2%) is upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Goldman Sachs, which believes the surplus in natural gas is over and prices should rise to the upper end of $4.00-$4.50 per MMBtu. Goldman says BBG is "in the early stages of an improving resource base trading at an attractive valuation likely to be supported by rising gas prices." COG +2.5%, SWN +2%. Comment!

The week's ETF movers - Gainers: VNM +4.3%. FCG +2.3%. BNO +1.7%. UUP +1.4%. TLT +1.4%.
ETF Losers: FXI -4.7%. EPI -4.2%. GDXJ -3.3%. KOL -3.3%. DBA -2.7%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, July 20, 2012, 2:25 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK -6.5%) is sliding on heavy volume. Reuters reports the SEC's Texas office has been demanding documents from Chesapeake as part of the agency's probe into the company's deals with CEO Aubrey McClendon. Meanwhile, Baker Hughes (BHI +9.4% - previous) reports the rig count for U.S. natural gas wells has fallen to 518 thanks to weak prices. That figure is down 45% from October's high, and represents a 13-year low. 10 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- 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]
- 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]
- Monday, March 12, 2012, 3:05 PM "Forget about $5 natural gas. When can we get back to $3," asks Raymond James after hosting a conference in which the consensus sees only weak prices for the next 12 to 24 months. Prices are off again today, touching a multi-year low as forecasts for unseasonably warm temperatures continue. UNG -2.1%. 1 Comment [Commodities, Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, January 23, 2012, 8:53 AM Natural gas producers are sharply higher premarket in the wake of Chesapeake's (CHK +5.4%) production cutback and a spike in prices. Quicksilver (KWK +4.9%), EXCO (XCO +4.3%), Range Resources (RRC +2.7%), Cabot (COG +2.9%). 5 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, January 23, 2012, 8:25 AM After sinking anew overnight to nearly $2.20, natural gas futures have reversed, spiking violently in the past few minutes, now +6.4% at $2.55. There's no specific news at the moment, but earlier word Chesapeake Energy (CHK) is cutting production may have been enough of a catalyst to toast some greedy shorts. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Thursday, January 19, 2012, 12:16 PM The slide in natural gas is relentless, off another 5.3% today as the latest supply report shows inventory levels 20.8% above the 5-year average. Supportive of prices over the longer term, producers are lining up for government permission to begin exporting gas. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 10:46 AM The continuing decline in natural gas (off 6.9% today) and resultant fall in electricity prices is shelving alternative energy projects from NextEra (NEE), Exelon (EXC), and CMS, but Michael Morris of American Electric Power (AEP) warns about becoming too dependent on gas. "The way to make $4 gas, $8 gas is for everyone to go out and build ... natural-gas plants." 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 3:57 PM Relentlessly mild winter weather in the Northeast and the shale production boom combine to send natural gas tumbling 7.8% today to $2.77, its lowest price in a decade. Natural gas producers: RRC -6.3%, CHK -3.1%, EQT -5%. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, December 16, 2011, 11:27 AM Natural gas futures hit their lowest level in more than two years in early trading before recovering a bit, as a near-term forecast for mild weather looks set to continue. Analysts say the $3 barrier could be breached with production still strong and demand tepid. "It's winter and we're not seeing winter-like temperatures." The NAGS natural gas ETF is -0.7%, extending its 3-month 36% decline. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move, Quick Ideas]

Justin M. Hall: HB09, adjust your trailing stop up as shares climb higher. Example: Set your stop at $11. If you get stopped out, you protect your profits. -

Justin M. Hall: I think FCG will do well this year. Nevertheless, FCG should also be viewed as a long-term play.
