Original June 21 Article sent to Kelly Letter subscribers We've spent a lot of time looking at oil this year, and have put money on both the long and short side of the fluctuating price. We're currently betting on lower prices ahead, and I still think we'll get them in the short term. A related commodity that we've discussed much less is natural gas.
