RE: I don't mind HNU being low right now"I'd rather buy January contracts today at $ 4.90 than $ 5.05. "
It's a moot point, really.....right now, HNU is buying Jan gas for $4.90, but remember they have to sell Dec too, and that is $4.53.....
If Jan gas was higher, say $5.10, then that higher price would be offset by a higher sale price for Dec (prob around $4.75-ish)...
So it all evens out in the end.
