Its an excellent strategy slider and even though I'm a Natty bear for a while its the smartest trade a bull can make. Kudos

Sorry to be wasting your time but actually I did not ask why UNG. The put strategy seems great. My question was: <Do you think the underperformance of UNG (versus the actual commodity it is supposed to track) will reverse?> Which is not at all the same question. I guess your answer is this: <UNG is transitioning to "Total Return Swaps" to minimize the negative effects of rolling over futures contracts,> Again your put strategy seems valid and a great way to make some money. But the actual performance of UNG to date has been horrendous in relation to the price of NG as demonstrated in the graphs I posted-which for me at least is something important to keep in mind.
