There isn't a fundamental to support a "long term" investment in NG currently.

Thanks for your advice.

I do not trade natural gas, but have some energy stocks with exposure to oil and natural gas.

Just feel the price of naturall gas is so low currently, much lower than 2008 crisis ...

be careful trade these etf of natural gas like UNG , hnu.to
last year I made a few money on these etf, but you should be cut loss quickly if the position in the wrong trend.
this year I will not trade ETF, but pick some stock, liike chk, eca
some info for you,
from ECA news release last quarter , the  cost last year is @2.8, and this year @2.4 mmbtu
so Natural gas price is very close bottom now
the reason is industry cost will very close, if they can not make money, will reduce the supply, I will load some eca recently.
good luck !

Thank you for your information.

I do not trade ETF of pure NG, such as UNG or GAS.to, HNU.to.

Well, ECA is a great pure natual gas play. But I prefer companies having both crude oil and natural gas, in case if NG down to $2.
If NG goes back up to $6, ECA.to could double?
