I asked if it was time to begin accumulating natural gas in an August 14, 2026, Barchart article, where I concluded with the following:
I believe that the odds favor higher natural gas prices over the coming peak demand season beginning in the fall. Therefore, this could be the perfect time to begin accumulating a long position in futures, call options, UNG, or BOIL, leaving room to add on declines over the coming weeks and months. When considering BOIL, the leverage requires attention to risk, making accumulation dangerous. Tight stops and reentry into risk positions using BOIL as optimizing leveraged products depend on the ability to accept small losses in the quest for oversized gains.
