Re: h/j

agree guys are short h/j. hard to see a big move with cash/futures trading
flat. agree that it has some squeeze potential though. Started moving today
as, simultaneously, march started running up and j aron won a big customer
deal. customer, maybe a hedge fund, bot 1000+ jv 450 puts. weather
frustrating me too. a little long but it's in the backs so I haven't been
hurt. Sure would be nice to get some more weather and have this thing start
going crazy again. Seen liquids processing come back on at these levels.
Would guess more than 50% has from peak. Industrial demand different story.
industrial economy just so weak that many petchems and others are burning
less because of their markets, not fuel costs. Chrystler is a prime
example. Any switching back to gas from industrial or switching back to
domestic production from overseas muted by weak economy.
