new WSJ article NatGas a Flaming Buy?
Those of us hopeful of a bottom in natgas might take heart from this WSJ article. It's mostly just old fashioned value investing, but that's mostly worked for a long, long time. The comments are also quite interesting. Here is the link and the first couple of paragraphs from the opinion piece.

There are two kinds of investors: those who run away from a fire and those who run toward it. To invest in natural-gas stocks, you had better be the kind who runs toward a fire.
Prices have collapsed—for natural gas and for the shares of companies that produce it. Every day, the U.S. natural-gas market is flooded with an average of 3 billion cubic feet more than the nation consumes. Shares of gas companies are down—in a rising stock market—by an average of 22% over the past year. Even Warren Buffett lost money when natural-gas prices fell further and faster than he expected.
In short, the news about natural gas is awful—exactly the type of conflagration that growth investors hate, but value investors love. "Everyone who has a brain should be thinking of how to make money on this in the longer term," the renowned investor Jeremy Grantham of GMO wrote recently.

Just for the record, the little box on the left side of the GHS front page shows natgas as $2.19

Sesport, let me be the first to congratulate you. You posted your FLAME ON buy signal when natgas was $2.19 on our official GHS price meter. As of right now it's up to $2.32. That's a nice bounce. Does Aubrey have your phone number? You should send it to him.

Natgas is far older than the Greeks. The Zoroastrians in Iraq and Iran were using natgas for thousands of years in their fire temples. They have the ruins of several where the priests made early pipes to control the natgas flame. I learned about this from friends who were debating the use of natural gas in modern day Zoroastrian fire temples. Priests in India said no to its use, but priests from Iran pointed to ancient ruins showing that natgas was used in crude pipes to make an "eternal" flame in the temples. Some of the oldest temple ruins show this use.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
