Look for Natural Gas Prices to Double

Stock quotes in this article:CHK 

You can imagine how thrilled North American natural gas producers would be to tap the Eurasia market. And essentially, we're currently in the midst of a telegraph solution away from a North American-Eurasia natural gas market.

But we're not quite there.

In any event, even if North America doesn't start exporting natural gas to Eurasia anytime soon, the oil-natural gas price differential is still out of wack.

Natural gas prices will correct to the upside, and companies that produce natural gas will increase their revenue.

I expect natural gas prices to double sometime in the next 18 months, to put a conservative estimate on it.

My recommendation: Nibble on shares of Chesapeake Energy(CHK) whenever you can.

Happy New Year, Kevin McElroy, editor of Resource Prospector
