Nat-Gas Stocks Must Know Something By Jim Cramer About this article: What the heck is going on with natural gas? Where are the actual industrial users? Is there any company out there, a big chemical company, that can lock in these prices? They are totally breaking down, in part, I believe, because of the artificially high level that the U.S. Natural Gas Fund propelled it to, and in part because we learned that a major fund has taken a long position down that is leveraged, and others seem to be shooting against him. What I don't understand is, what are the firms like Owens-Illinois and Dow Chemical and DuPont and PPG doing to lock in these prices? Surely they aren't waiting for them to get to $2. And what are the utilities that burn natural gas doing? They can lock in some profits here vs. their sale prices that could make for bountiful profits if it ever gets cold...
