I remember speaking to a floor specialist who informed me that he reads the same price charts that most technicians do.

Is There Still Room For A Bullish Run In Natural Gas Futures?

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 08:21 AM PDT

Friday, August 3, 2012
A higher than expected storage build last week (+ 28 bcf vs. + 23 bcf estimate) sent front month futures below $3.

My Focus On Exports Not Employment

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 06:50 AM PDT

The monthly jobs report came out and is viewed as slightly better than expected but provides both sides of the political debate sufficient fodder to spin it to their advantage.
While equity markets want to put a happy face on the report (an increase in non-farm payroll of 163,000 jobs along with an uptick in the unemployment rate to 8.3%), I have little real confidence in the report signaling meaningful improvement in our economy.
