7. CONCLUSION

As Peter Bernstein was famous for saying, “we simply do not know what the future holds.” For me, the art of investing and trading is a constant reminder that I can only guess at what the future holds and that I am always reliant to a large degree on chance (or something greater) for my trade ideas to work. However, to quote another famous man “in the fields of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind.” While Louis Pasteur was speaking about microbiology, I believe the same principle applies to investing. While there is no guarantee that the natural gas prices will rise in the next few months, I have laid out a case for why they might, and I stand ready to profit if I get my chance.
