[UPDATE] I hope you caught the rally in natural gas prices that I alerted you to in August! A change in trader sentiment drove the trade through my target price, just like I thought it would. You could have made a lot of money with the exchange-traded fund I recommended, the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (NYSE: BOIL).
However, the price of natural gas has since dropped. It looks like a new buying opportunity.
Real Wealth Strategist analyst Anthony Planas just unveiled his natural gas forecast for the winter, and it harkens back to the substantial profit opportunity he gave his readers just one year ago. I think you should check it out!

Natural gas is trading at record lows!
I’ve never seen the price this low. Ever.
It’s 23% lower year to date. And it’s down 53% from its high of $4.79 last November.
Money managers are the most bearish they’ve been on natural gas since December 2017.
And that’s good news for us.
Because the price of natural gas is due for a rebound.
The last time an opportunity like this surfaced, the price of natural gas jumped 43% in five weeks!
A similar jump is set to happen again. And there’s an easy way you can bet on it.

Natural Gas Stocks Are Too Cheap — It’s Time to Buy
Watch my video below to learn more about how you can turn small moves into triple-digit gains.
The price of natural gas is dropping lower and lower.
My colleague Matt Badiali had this to say about natural gas earlier this year:
The fact is, natural gas is just too cheap right now. This is one of the most important fuels in the U.S. today … because it’s the backstop for all the alternative energy in the U.S.
That’s because neither wind nor solar can produce power 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And there are no commercially viable batteries large enough to store enough power to get through the night.
Instead, there are natural gas turbines.
Natural gas will remain an important fuel for years to come. Yet, traders are treating it like yesterday’s newspaper.
The following chart shows the price of natural gas futures, a market where traders agree to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price.
I added an indicator to the chart that shows how futures traders feel about natural gas:
The blue line is the futures positioning of producers and processors that use the underlying physical commodity in real life.
They use futures to hedge their hard asset exposure. So, the blue line moves opposite the red line because hedging protects producers against a sudden turn in the prevailing trend.
I’m most interested in the red line running across the bottom.
It is the collective positioning of money managers who are trading natural gas futures. These guys are traders trying to earn profits.
When the red line is below the dotted line, money managers are bearish. The further the red line falls, the more bearish they are.
And their bearishness just reached a new extreme.
When money managers rush into a one-sided bet like this, prices usually experience a sudden change in direction.
This tells me the price of natural gas is about to jump.
BOIL ETF: Quick Returns at a Cost
Independent investors can bet on natural gas without having a futures account.
You can buy a natural gas exchange-traded fund (ETF) just the same way you’d buy and sell a stock.
The ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (NYSE: BOIL) tracks the price of natural gas.
It’s a leveraged ETF, which means it’s designed to move twice as fast as a regular ETF.
When the price of natural gas jumped by 71% from August to November last year, the price of BOIL jumped by 160%!
But leveraged ETFs are not designed for you to buy and hold for a long period of time.
They tend to have an above-average expense ratio and a daily rebalancing cost — a necessary evil to maintain the leverage.
BOIL is a good way to bet on a double-digit rebound in the price of natural gas.
But it’s no different than other leveraged ETFs. If natural gas doesn’t make its move fast, BOIL will eat into your profits while you wait.
If that sounds too risky for you, I have a better approach.
