Hi Tim, cool beans moving the NAT and Natural Gas discussions over here. thanks for all of your thoughts on NAT , VLCCF and the other tanker stocks. You've got an excellent handle on them. I was looking at the 3 year Natural Gas Futures strip tonight. The whole strip is higher than Nov which is the nearby month. The spring and summer contracts in 2002 are around 2.80, and all of the 2003 and 2004 contracts are over 3.00. So the market is pricing in higher prices going forward. So the current lower NG prices are very likely a combination of decreased demand due to the global slowdown. (especailly the US slowdown) the Gas rig count is in the process of coming down, and The market is also looking at a pick up in NG power plant construction, as well as a rebound in electricity demand when the economy turns. John ------------ (the closing prices of each contract month has an s by it, I have put 3 months in bold. So the closing price for May of 2003 today was 3.122.) interactive.wsj.com Contr.
