  • Nuveen Dumps Its CEF Website [View article]
    I'll second that last comment. I've used etfconnect for well over a year to check premium/discount. Try to do that today. They just had to screw up something that was working very well.

  • Master Limited Partnerships for Your Portfolio: Three Key Questions and Answers [View article]
    FWIW, I have a 5% position in MTP, which is a CEF holding a basket of MLPs. It's one of my best performers with a steady dividend and no Schedule K hassle.

  • Is Demand Response Doomed? [View article]
    Are you serious? There are over 150 utilities in the USA. And each has their own agenda. If anything, I think the demand response niche should consolidate, but it's not going away, especially since it's not just "demand response"...there are ways to play the day ahead and real time markets in which a black box isn't going to help. This industry is in its infancy and it's not looking like buggy whips just yet.

  • The Elusive Smart Meter-Demand Response Combo [View article]
    Based on the above comment, some investors clearly don't understand LMP and the exponential nature of power supply/demand at the end of the curve.

  • Shouldn't the Natural Gas Commodity ETF Catch Up to Its Company Cousin? [View article]
    Past performance does not guarantee future results. The US is bursting with NG supply that is well above the 5-yr average. The only forces that can goose prices are a major Gulf hurricane or serious pickup in industrial demand. Everybody ASSUMES that the price just has to rise because it rose in the past. The missing point is the fundamental supply/demand balance. There is no increased demand. Oil is not gas...oil is not gas...oil is not gas...66% of one commodity comes from overseas while the other is nearly all domestic.

  • EnerNoc: Instant Messenger of the Smart Grid [View article]
    Why does this remind me of the XM v. Sirius battle? They're all chasing the same customers with the same goal...they should consolidate for the greater good.

  • Beaten Down Natural Gas Likely to Stay Down, Making Producers a Short [View article]
    And what happens to all of those shorts if and when we get another Gulf hurricane? All of this silly $2 handle stuff implies no increasing demand, no decreasing drilling, and demand destruction. The greens are out touting sustainability and oil to gas every minute of every day. Do what you want in the short term. I see UNG as an easy 1-2x from here...not today, not tomorrow, not next month, but given ANY recovery, it's bound to recover. The more the CNBC hawkers pimp $2 natural gas, the more I buy right here, right now.

  • 5 Reasons Natural Gas Is Poised to Bounce Back [View article]
    Who wants to bet that the first mention of "Gulf hurricane" will double the UNG? Anyone?
