Natural gas will see some gas on gas competition in late September or October. East Coast storage will be full, but west coast won't be. After that things get better-
Nymex NG
Oct 4.60
Nov 5.60
Dec 6.20

I expect some of the October pricing to roll into November, bringing it down. For 2005, pricing should be good unless we have a very warm winter. The heating oil prices of $1.17 will support $6 to $7 NG. Venezuela is a big source of heating oil.

There's divergence in CanRoy prices (up to flat) and NG prices (DOWN) I believe the reason is more and more people are discovering Royalty Trusts, and those that have bought tehm are buying more. There's a big Bush / Kerry factor here - most of the dividend is tax advantaged, so when Bush looks better in the polls, it supports dividend stocks.

I still want to buy a little more - my worry is there will be a big article in WSJ and they'll jump 30% and not look back.

A number of the trusts have hedged some production, so dividends may not fall down as hard as NG prices.

I would not be surprised if we get a sharp spike down in CanRoy prices, but I think it's more likely they won't drop at all...

I want to hold them for over a year, especially in taxable accounts. Longer term, Canada has shut nukes and some coal plants, US nukes have run flat out and will need maintence/re-fuelling, there's not enough water in Western resouivars for hydropower.

California set a new record today for power consumption...
