>>With oil at $72 per barrel, natural gas should be around $8.47... Many experts believe that oil is fairly priced right now, given the costs of exploration and extraction<<
And other experts (and even "non-experts" such as myself) think that oil prices should currently be much lower due to still-falling demand, but that instead a new (and temporary) bubble has formed there. In that case, nat gas, too, will soon be falling again.(Please keep in mind that these are relatively short-term predictions; I have no doubt that five years from now could be a very different story.)
