Going to toss $5k into PNA.

Hoping it goes crazy.

I would wait it out of I were you, mind you I don't hold anything in NG but have been tempted to get into it at such low levels, thinking its really hard for it to go much lower...

Anyone hold any airlines? I have quite a bit of WJA, and have been very happy with the recent returns. It is being projected as high as $20, but I'm not to sure it will make it that high with oil looking the way it does... I wanted to get into AC wayy back when it was trading around 1.50, both still look good to me though.

I can not belive people are still messing with NG. So volatile! How many times on this board have people taken huge losses due to HNU/HND?

hahaha.

I thought this last year... and it WOULD go lower. I mean, everything turns around eventually but how long do you want to hold it before you get back to black? I learned the hard way. Then you get back to black and sell because you're just happy to get your money out.

I'm not saying avoid NG, like how others preach... not for the faint of heart. But it can give you good profit and good losses too.

Yup totally agree.
I hesitate playing venture stocks (only got 3 in my portfolio of 20+ stocks).
I see the massive gains/losses on NG and even these potash plays that are all the rage and think fk I should just go with the flow. Then I rmb how much I lost on hnd a while ago and decide the risk is not worth it.

There goes the profit taking on AAA lol

20+ Stocks in your portfolio? How do you effectively manage that?

Decided to jump on the Potash bandwagon. Purchased June 220 Calls of POT at 3.45 up to 4.85 today. 40% On something that I know cannot get sold down to zero value! I love options pricing!

Cheers!

Wow potash companys dropping hard last couple days
