i actually started writing this on thursday. got distracted and left late
morning to go to Vail. Apparently I missed a little craziness. My point
on v/x is that forward spreads, months 3/4 and back, don't necessarily
trade on value, they trade on drawing a forward curve that makes
equilibrium between hedging and spec demand. Look at k/m... do you think k
cash will average 3 cents above m. i don't really see that scenario. yet
that's what it is worth because the market says jv is worth $x and to get
there k/m=3. The same argument applies to v/x. i think this summer will
be exceptionally strong as we try to inject 2 bcf/d more gas than last
year. But cal 2 will lag the move. It's the main thing customers are
selling right now because every equity analyst and even Pira are telling
their customers that cal 2 will average 3.50. so either the v/x and x/z
spreads come in or f/g g/h h/j blow out. After this winter, who in there
right mind wants to buy f/g or g/h again. my thought is that the primary
juice will be h/j but v/x and x/z will be under some pressure. i'm a
seller at 9 and buyer at 5-6. Not much in it either way though.

you got me wrong-i wanna sell oct buy nov forward. look-two scenarios med
longer
term. we inject like mad early summer-economy stays crappy the frot of the
curve
gets slaughtered.-oct/nov goes to 3 cts sometime between now and end sep
scenario 2-they dont enject what they want-oct /nov wil stay tite
between say
3-and 10 cts like this year but man after this winter they will panic at
some
point and buy the hell out of the winter strip and blow out oct /nov to 30
cts
cuz they panic. to me if that one was to ever backwardate it was this
summer-low
low stx and injections and they still blew out cuz they panicked about
winter-as
we see this winter now for good reason..?? capeche? i thinkit a win win

you still in the damn mar/apr-i only sold a little prenumber-cant beleive
how
this got killed after-what changed?? from 1:30 to 2:05
