Opinion on  United States Natural Gas Fund LP (UNG)

With UNG approaching $10.00 in a free fall (along with natural gas prices) the optimism above was premature, but the facts in the article still remain true. Even as there is FEAR about UNG and possible upcoming regulation of Etf to prevent speculation investing, the fact is that the UNG and NG still follow each other closely.
FEAR is always a good time to take advantage of the panic sellers because NG will go up(after it goes down.) Everything does. Timing is not known. Investing for the long term in a aura of Fear Selling could make for good profits, if you have the stomach for it. NG and UNG "are" really volatile. Just as it spiked down..it can spike up. Hurricanes, a cold winter, disruption in supplies etc. However, we ARE in a recession still and even oil is expected to be in less demand.

This was an idiotic recommendation on my part. UNG is flawed security. Since July 22, 2009 when this recommendation was issued to buy Natural Gas, the October 2009 contract traded from $4.00 to about $4.00 when it closed trading. The November contract traded from $4.65 to about $5.00 today. But UNG lost money, big time. I won't bother explaining how UNG works, but suffice it to say you should NEVER buy this security, there's a better alternative-- ALWAYS. I'm closing this position for a loss, and I deserve the loss for such a dunderheaded pick.
