UNG is flying! Breakout of all the resistances!

Too right, had I listend to all those analysts - and gotten fearful - I would have sold and missed the rally!

UNG - Analysts in fear... and gas turn bullish!

Good call! Felt the short covering in action yesterday.

How Will CFTC Hearings Impact Commodity ETFs?

It wasn't too long ago (in 2008) when the CFTC said in no uncertain terms that the Oil price spikes to $147 were not the doing of speculators. They issued a report saying exactly that on their website. How is it credible now that they want to hold hearings to impose limits on speculators trading commodities. I think this is an absolute joke.

The fact there are speculators is the only reason that many of the producers are still in business. Take the liquidity away, you may very well get low priced oil/natgas, but you're destroying the companies that supply the market and reduce investment for future demand.

The problem that seems to consistently emanating from this Obama administration is its short-sightedness on how their policies are harming the free market. Big government in typical fashion blames everybody except themselves for the mess that we're in.

I foresee the unintended consequence of these regulatory policies hurting US companies when investors who provide liquidity to the markets start investing overseas into BRIC and other EMs. When that happens, they'll wish they'd never blamed the so-called speculators.

CFTC is Cleaning House

The more I read your articles the more I'm convinced you're letting personal bias get in the way of objective journalism. You hate speculators, you dislike energy bulls, but you like cheap energy no matter what.

I know the US is hurting bad - and we all would like to see it pull itself out of a hole. But if you think supply and demand doesn't factor into the energy price equation, then your sadly misinformed or just plain biased.

Even if you do lean towards a side, please spare us of the adjectives your use to describe the bulls as the 'bulls' or ' they deserve what they have coming'.... just really put me off your writing. Put some balance into your reports! Or take a refresher course in journalism.

UNG - Analysts are all negative about its future, bottom time?

"Here you can find some article of analyst lost hopes about UNG etf:".... That's a laugh!! 3 analysts all on the SeekingAlpha payroll giving negative commentary on UNG is hardly objective! C'mon, be honest, all you boys are shorting UNG to spook the market.... better cover your shorts when NatGas finally moves to its norm by going upwards. UNG maybe above NAV, but that's only based on NatGas prices staying where they are!

Outrageous! China Detains 4 Rio Tinto Staff as Iron Ore Deal Collapses

What's so outrageous?! Industrial esponiage is serious. Australia or any other country would, and should, react exactly the same way. It wasn't long ago the US caught a Chinese national for stealing trade secrets at an IT firm! The law was applied as it should.

So, please stop all this sanctimonious nonsense and biased commentary, just because its China! Australia's economy would be just as hurt without trade with China. Let the law decide. Keep the politics to one side.

Game Over for USO, UNG?

Yeah, and I'll bet most of the Seeking Alpha authors are in shorting positions... Ask any nat gas producer right now if speculation is a bad thing. Without them nat gas prices would be closer to $2. It's the speculators that's keeping them in business. CTFC isn't thinking about the unintended consequences of killing off speculators. Perhaps, their regret will come when speculators go somewhere else, overseas, where government interference isn't so stringent.

Bad-News Friday Nights

I don't think the Fed made any formal announcement, but there's an oft-used PR tactic known as 'early disclosure' to break the news to the press so as to soften the impact. (Imagine how the market would react otherwise). If you read other news reports, spokespeople from Freddie Mae/Fannie Mac have made comments on this matter.

In any case, with the dire situation that the FMs are in, and the Fed wanting to stave off financial armageddon, and keep confidence in the market -- they'd do anything to lesson the panic. So far, they've been doing a pretty good job at lying to press and themselves!

Nationwide WiMAX: Who Benefits?

Ever use an iPHONE? Now, if only I could access the Internet without having to spend a few bucks for a coffee or staying overnight at a hotel with complimentary WiFi... even then video streaming kind of sucks. I'd like to watch video news now and then. WiMAX is the only wireless broadband that can deliver this -- 3G was an absolute joke. Glad to see someone's getting it right for once. You stick with your pen and paper -- clearly, you know nothing about technology, and here you are advising your readers. Read a book, or talk to people in the industry for a more balanced perspective.

Why Cable and WiMax Shouldn't Mix

Can't stream video with 3G. WiMAX is proven that it can. That's a good enough reason to move from AT&T/Verizon to the carrier who can offer true Internet in your pocket. Pay attention to what the OEMs/ODMs will have coming to market in 2008/2009... WiMAX is happening elsewhere around the world... it's just a matter of time before US carriers play catch up!
