6 Natural Investments in Natural Gas

Yes, if anything, NG is closer to its long term average than oil if you eliminate the irrational '07 spike. I can see oil going down to or lower than $35 because of the apparent accumulation of supplies on tankers that has been hinted at. We may well discover that, as after the '70s spike, the world is awash in oil.

I would add WTU and DOM, smaller gas trusts, as high payout ideas. DOM has been relatively stable and WTU still has a three years left with a long record of stable payouts and then the possibility of a substantial final payout once the remaining assets are auctioned off. Both are low volume but seem to have some staunch holders and a low turnover rate.
