NG

adrr

I am just parroting what the experts and their peer reviewed papers. Happy to look at studies or experts that say solar/wind/battery can’t replace 90% of generation. Also i was being nice to nuclear, nuclear plants don’t run 100% of time, they are taken off line for week(s) at a time refuel/change control rods and their operating costs is inline in NG power plant when factoring in fuel,waste disposal, depreciation etc. Nice thing NG power plants they can be onlined in hours and not a week from a cold start.

Jagged_Tide

Strait of Hormuz closure and regional conflict in Middle East will create reliance on alternative sources of crude/NG, additionally ExxonMobil owns the largest portion of total acreage. Some guy did a deep financial analysis thesis on it 2 day ago highly recommend taking a look.

katrav86

bought more /MNG at 2.915. this time playing /NG with the micros. lost my a$$ with the full contracts last time. going to be an adult this time

BarbellPadawan

/NG, The Widow Maker

SwitchedOnNow

Sure and those schemes will fail over time. Often dramatically. OP suggests that NG is being manipulated but has no proof other than feels. That sounds more like he lost money because he was wrong than anything is being manipulated.

SwitchedOnNow

Yet NG futures are falling. Hmm.

AntoniaFauci

One place I did e suite they introduced me to their hedging department. The traders there did natural gas exclusively even though our business had nothing to do with NG. I thought they might be smoothing us out on our actual lines of business but no, it was just there to ensure our heating and fuel costs were optimized. I guess at some point someone made the case that the cost of having this one off department was worth its weight in savings.

NG ON cme UP ON AVG. 4.5% APR through February 2027

JanMarsalek

i know what OP means. It's just not true. I posted the public data where you can check which source of energy provided how much energy at any given point throughout the years. 2023 was the last year with running NPPs. You can see that NG use remained pretty much the same - but what is really interesting is when you check solar and wind output growing massively, especially comparing 2023/24 and 2025

Puffdotbusiness

I think the point is that any country that is now having to pay 40% more for NG (in whatever quantity) is regretting shutting down nuclear plants. But to be honest I don’t know if the point is actually correct it just sounds correct.

botella36

NG is used for power generation

botella36

NG is also used for Power Generation and as input to chemical processes.

katrav86

I was the one talking shit about /NG in here last week and calling it "evil shit" I am sorry. I will never shit talk /NG

katrav86

# got jacked to the tits in /NG and shit's taking off # natural gas... such a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL THING

Kappa_Bera_0000

Crude futures are up more than 1%. China can outspend Europe because the have the price margins that are simply not present in the EU and UK. DPRK isn't a blip in the world economy. Except for Chinese and Russian tankers no one else is currently transiting the Straits of Hormuz. Two LNG tankers in the upper Persian Gulf have been spotted venting their NG into the air because they Das Island won't allow them to offload and they're worried about catching a drone. Another tanker has been spotted redirecting to Al-Zour for an unplanned offload of UAE to EU gas. And now we're seeing this: [https://nypost.com/2026/03/02/us-news/trump-wont-rule-out-sending-us-troops-into-iran-if-necessary-tells-the-post-i-dont-care-about-polling/](https://nypost.com/2026/03/02/us-news/trump-wont-rule-out-sending-us-troops-into-iran-if-necessary-tells-the-post-i-dont-care-about-polling/) It sounds like this will be drawn out affair.

Crazy_Donkies

Well, we are much further away, our energy costs are lower overall, and we get relatively little oil and almost no NG from the mideast.

katrav86

why ? /NG is still cheap

iYoloNDX0DTEs

My NG futures are saved(maybe)

CreepyBoysenberry281

NG right? Already going crazy but if this doesn’t taco, be like Ukraine invasion price.

Bluesquare9

Massive /NG candle did y’all see that?!

OneOfAKind2

It's one big scam. I bought a used EV and burn NG for home heating. It shouldn't affect me, unless this turns into WW III.

Californiawatchman

Raytheon , NG, DFNS especially since it's Israeli based and iron drome

No-Cable9274

They can/have launched missiles at ships crossing the straight. They don’t have to physically ’close’ it. They just have to increase the danger to crossing it that no insurer will cover cargo/tankers who do make the crossing NG.

Interesting-Play-489

Thanks for sharing. Thoughts on their renewables division taking all the revenue from NG production for capex near term?

TrashPanda_924

Impact is that US oil and NG companies spike.

TetonHiker

I hopped into AG and NG recently. Both hitting new highs right now but I understand the big guys are NEM, B, AEM, KGC and the like. As well as PAAS, HL, WPM, etc. You are probably right that an ETF might be reasonable for big guys and one focussed on the juniors. I just hate paying their fees, so I'll keep evaluating. Always interested in learning from others. Just starting my research. Been invested in uranium for years and it's paid off well (with much more upside to come) but I think the explosion in silver and gold miners, as they get repriced relative to the run-ups in silver and gold, is much closer at hand. Plan to get better invested for that run up shortly. Any advice on good ways to get better educated welcome!

Tay_Tay86

Time for NG+

ahopye

Comex website says metals and natural gas halted due to technical issues. I was wondering why my NG stopped bleeding

tri-pug

Metals and natural has are indeed halted on CME. I have /GC, /MGC, and /NG contracts that are just frozen

katrav86

/NG taking off again :) got in around 2.8 this time. Target = next spike. Building a position using /MNG instead of scalping the bitch this time

katrav86

typical /NG shenanigans. do nothing for days then gape someone's asshole reeeeal good

14mmwrench

So CAT, GE, SIEGY? They can put megawatts on station in a short period of time in containerized generator sets. Can be run on diesel, or whatever cheap fuel oil is handy until you can plumb in NG or get a larger permanent plant.

katrav86

# day 6 of not trading /NG . the road to recovery is treacherous and fraught with traps. already getting shakes

katrav86

for something that has no future, it's amusing that /NG exists... what a joke. shittiest fuel ever

katrav86

# have you lost $$$ trading /NG ? # join Levy and Korinsky, LLP - led lawsuit that accuses /NG of (among other things) crimes against humanity

katrav86

i have overcome my addiction to trading /NG. five full days clean. anyone wants to form a support group of ex-/NG traders who have lost their ass doing it?

katrav86

day 5 of NOT trading /NG feels good man.. the shit's evil

katrav86

# how do I get on with life? i remind myself that at least i am not one of those who trade sincerely evil shit like /NG. # fuck /NG

katrav86

gotcha. agreed but they should remove that ticker /NG it has no purpose and is a piece of shit.

katrav86

heh... with so many more convenient, more energy-rich fuels available why the fuck would anyone bother with natural gas. that shit is blended with a stink agent LOL if that says something. they need to remove the ticker /NG it serves no purpose

katrav86

# natty gas "future" /NG KEKEKEKEW # natty gas will unalive soon there's no "future" to it

katrav86

/NG not /NQ natty gas...

katrav86

piece of shit thief ass /NG i hope you die a leprosy infected sloooow painful death

katrav86

# y does /NG have such dogshit liquidity in the last two weeks

katrav86

50% of plan: using micros to slowly leg into full positions in /ES and /NQ over many weeks or even months, hedged from time to time with long or short full /VX contracts. the other 50%: NOT going to trade fucking natty gas /NG this time.

rampagepete

I don’t think you missed it. To me a deal with Iran is semi-irrelevant. Obvi a strike on Iran is a huge oil price surge, but a deal might present a buying opportunity. I still think we see $100/barrel this summer, and that won’t be that high, it’s just that $80/b oil is the new $60/b oil. What original lead me to energy is the AI trade obvi, we’re a decade behind China on every type of energy other than NG. When the President is referring to US energy as a national security concern (it is, first to AGI rules the world) I don’t think energy of any kind is overvalued. Anywho, we’re def on the same wave length with commodities being the only area with possible value right now

Marston_vc

Blue inarguably ahead of RKLb. I’m long RKLB and got in around $3. I’m very happy with them and think SPB is a great CEO. But from a pure hardware perspective, BO has launched their Falcon 9 competitor, New Glenn, twice and landed the second. Comparatively, RL hasn’t launched their Neutron once yet. I’ve long been a BO hater but it’s a fact that they are ahead of RL regarding reusables as of right now and that won’t be debatable until RL lands its first Neutron rocket and even then it looks like BO is already trying to *reuse* its NG2 booster *this month*. If I had to say, BO is easily a year ahead of RL right now unless RL radically increases their tempo.

katrav86

can someone turn on the BUY button? my /NG not looking too good

katrav86

double down on /NQ, buy more micro-/NG ... degen stuff

Ok_Loquat_5413

Take over these places and leak the ballots, make them public (somebody's gotta risk their ass) so maybe somebody in the national guard or the military is going to stop them cancelling the elections and calling them non legit. The governor would have to grow some balls, and I mean, bigger balls and call the NG

Luke13-22

Agree. SLV is notoriously more volatile than other commodities, the only other that is as volatile is natural gas (NG) as we also saw very recently

WellAintThatShiny

I get what you’re saying and you’re absolutely right, especially at scale. With OPAL, I’m not trying to pick a NG titan though. They’re a quickly growing company with excellent margins and a positive environmental impact. Eventually they’ll hit a ceiling, buy back a bunch of shares then start issuing dividends, exactly what I’m looking for at this stage of investing. I also think RNG is a little more in line with natural processes than other renewable fuels, especially dairies. All they need to do is collect methane, clean it and compress it, then they plug it right into the NG pipelines.

silverfutes

takes either big nuts or smooth brains to go long on NG at the end of winter

Slow-Information-847

NG lost almost 30% today. One shoe at a time.

Slow-Information-847

Has anyone found that nowadays 20% or 30% drops are everywhere? Today NG lost 20% too.

Function_Initial

Damn, that’s awesome. I looked at your text before and thought you were long lol. Why’d you think it was gonna pullback? I haven’t followed NG at all. The last thing I remember was 2024, when it was down to like 1.8 or something. At that point they were talking about it going down a lot because of warmer weather in the future years. Might sound weird. But I’d still suggest taking a small break, unless you’re gonna open positions with pre defined stuff temporarily and just have all the trades be like that. Some of my worst losses were after huge run ups. Congrats and I sure as hell am happy for you again that it wasn’t the opposite!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrp

What was your /NG position?

Necromancer2k8

Add NG to that list. Everything gained Friday looks to be gone in the 45 minutes of pre futures futures so far

Function_Initial

How much did you get gutted for lol? I saw NG was down like 16%.

danthemagnetman

/NG down 16%, hope you weren't holding long over the weekend

Peli_cz

Aaah fellow NG trader. How’s thats going for you? I’m also in, but on cfd, slowly building short position. What’s your side 🤣

Necromancer2k8

Long NG for a few days then inverse by end of week.

Record low temps everywhere and you're shorting NG?

Necromancer2k8

I shall wait until sunday evening and hope NG pulls another huge jump going into monday so I can get out of the last 25% of my position before it gets warmer. BOIL from roughly 15 to 40 in 10 trading days is a good thing 😀

Necromancer2k8

Todays safe play - NG 😀

deathlyharry

NG made a crazy recovery this past week

ComfortableNo5231

KOLD is not a stock...I saw people saying things like it's never been this low since x y z. It derives its value from NG futures and it rolls to the next one a month before.

NG =🚀 🌕 BOIL up 17% as of this post!

Popular-Row4333

Oh I completely agree with this. But the hedge funds with a lot of money are also the Ciscos caught in this, they go down in flames. Well, and the ones that decide to throw a lot of money into NG on leverage for whatever reason.

Necromancer2k8

I'll agree on the money making. My worry is already seeing the big job cuts and we're still in infancy of implementation. Last 2 days 4 companies announced around 50k total of job cuts. I'll stick to shiny rocks & NG for awhile longer 😁

Confident_Series46

Add NG and boeing

SouldiesButGoodies84

Was a smart move for Walz to take hold and deploy the NG before Trump got a hold of them and did so putting them under his control and orders.

JuanGuillermo

You have finished the game, beaten the final boss. Don't go into NG+. You did good. Stop playing, try to enjoy life now and don't look back. If this is all fake, then fuck you, if not, fuck you too.

Necromancer2k8

Went NG doing the BOIL route at around 16 so around double so far. I'm hoping for a retest of previous high around 45 but if extrene cold outlook rest of week isn't good I'll be out sooner

GlitteringBaseball50

From the OG commie president!!!! OL MISSES Kenya HERSELF started this WHOLE shit show!! Planted the very mustard seeds we are out here chopping down today!!! But WTF DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WSB??? BARCOCK COMMITED MULTIPLE TREASONOUS ACTIONS THAT THE FORE FATHERS WOULD HAVE HÚNG HIM FOR IMMEDIATELY

Vlisa

Shocked I didn't see anyone full port NG futures last week, people def talking about the spike.

Necromancer2k8

My move for tomorrow is to watch tonight as boil doubles to 32 in 5 trading days 😀 Go NG!!!!!

dontslambro

NG futures over 6 dollars now wow

devilwithin305

Not building a trading system or “bet the farm” product. This is risk reporting for people who already have temperature exposure (hedges, structured deals, load/demand exposure). Also, weather risk isn’t only NG. CME lists weather futures/options explicitly as hedging tools, with participation from utilities and other institutions, and CME has publicly said weather derivative activity jumped a lot recently. [link](https://www.cmegroup.com/openmarkets/energy/2024/Weather-Derivatives-Grow-as-Risks-Intensify.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Demo is straightforward: 1. pick 5–10 major cities, 2. run a walk-forward backtest (mid-month “as-of” forecasts for month-end HDD/CDD), 3. generate an “as-of today” memo with intervals + threshold probabilities + audit trail, 4. export JSON/CSV shaped for ETRM ingestion. the product doesn’t depend on Cantor binaries; it’s settlement/index forecasting + reporting. most of the month’s HDD/CDD is already known by mid-month, so this is about quantifying remaining uncertainty, not pretending to forecast weather months out.

FSO88

Very little inst-interest in this market outside of impact to NG. CantorFitz disdontinued their binaries. What’s your intended demo?

DivorcedGremlin1989

Multiple angles show grey guy's right arm twitching and 1 shows very slight muzzle flip. Note the cadence of the shots. 1 shot, pause, then 3 shots in rhythm. Watch Alex's body. Green had his gun pointed at his spine the whole time, yet the first shot has 0 effect. The 2nd shot immediately triggers a neurological response. That's because the first shot was a NG into the ground and the 2nd shot was into his spine. I know ICE is fucking evil, but green guy as the first shot makes no sense. He watched the gun get removed. He knows there's no gun. He has his gun pointed at Alex's spine the whole time. Nothing materially changes at the time he supposedly fired the first shot than when he first unholstered. . . He thought there was another gun that was fired, and that's why he shot. Am I certain? No. But everything I'm seeing makes more sense if you accept that grey guy has a negligent discharge with the victim's gun.

SkylarB02

NG vs ICE shootout god my puts would print

Necromancer2k8

NG & BOIL have been on a week long run. BOIL at 15/16 last week was a steal. Contracts expire next Friday and no sign of a quick warmup so I'll keep riding this horse until next week.

siege342

I’ve been buying up UNG calls. I banking on the price of natural gas spiking during this winter storm as all NG turbine peaker generators kick on.

devereaux

There are always commodities futures, like NG, crude oil, and metals

birdman1972

NG has already ripped. Up 62% since the 19th.

GLDD - Great lakes dredging and docks. They make docks for the big shipbuilders and dredge out for NG companies too.

katrav86

good call, but I am using micros to sloowly leg into a several week hold. trading the full /NG future feels like fucking a rabid dog

MundaneExtension3195

i got no idea... the NG ETFs were going bonkers today which is probably not encouraging for me not wanting to freeze, lol

AntoniaFauci

Late January spike in Feb NG futures is not exactly sustainable. We’re a warm day away from much of this week’s move being reversed, and then we’re looking at the next 10 months being warmer.

Three_of_a_kind3515

Any thinking NovaGold ? NG? Nova means “Don’t go” in Spanish.. I think.. I read a crazy story about the car Nova, didn’t sell in Mexico because of that reason. Calls on NG anyone after the big run on gold stocks?

95Daphne

Yeah, I should've known better when I saw oil soaring this morning. More busy watching something else tbh, but oil up (though it's mostly NG higher due to the eastern US probably going into the ice box) means sell the rip for tech.

TrickyBar9580

What is NG?

jellyfishbeers

NG going parabolic

katrav86

trading the DOW future feels like cuddling a cow trading /NQ feels like riding a healthy horse trading /NG feels like fighting a rabid dog

R1ckMartel

Needing to be fed through an NG tube because you can't produce enough saliva to properly lubricate your throat. Increased risk of aspiration would be likely, along with horrible discomfort (imagine permanent cottonmouth).

Necromancer2k8

Glad I got into NG last week ....checks BOIL... ...up 25+% from Friday close this morning
