Sorry,sorry, sorry.
Havent had internet access at home for past 5 weeks. Much easier to write these at home as when I'm done trading I don't want to look at my computer.
For november, very neutral. Cash is impressive. Agree shutins, switching, and some weather are making market look more like equilibrium. Think with cash/futures at 20 cents, x/z looks crazy. As soon as z becomes prompt, the fear factor/risk premium of it will decrease and the whole winter will come off. Like your h/j trade. Hard to see it really being worth 9 cents at settlement. Been buying a lot of y/y cantango as I think next summer will be a piece but longer term gas story still very real and customers know it. Wouldnt be surprised to see 2/3 go to 50+. I think x has some room to go up, but not a lot. Dont want to play the market from the long side as been burned before trying to get long a market that is still in a downtrend. Seems like the curve will just keep rolling down with each expiry. All the winter months might settle 2.25. As such, the best thing to be short is jan.
