Notes:
- Positions are as of the open on Monday, Aug. 3.
- Unless otherwise noted, returns on trades are based on my own positions, not the underlying market prices. Returns from closed trades include trading fees. My own return may differ from the return of the underlying index, security or commodity because of variations in how the security I use tracks the market. In some cases, my return is based on a leveraged fund and may also include currency exchange into Canadian dollars.

Hi!

Which ETF do you recommend to trade NGatural Gas? Or do you recommend them at all?

I don't make any recommendations. A good updated ETFs list can be found at the DVTechTalk.com website (under "Education").
