Natural gas (diversified) industry
Article Abstract:
Investments in the natural gas (diversified) industry are untimely and could be affected by the El Nino effect, which could cause a warm winter and result in lower natural gas demand. However, continued consolidation could make individual issues attractive. Additionally, the rise of natural gas spot prices appears to be caused by the perception that supplies are tight. An influx of natural gas supplies should alleviate these fears and cause prices to fall. Spot prices should average $2.20 per MMBtu in 1997 and $2.25 per MMBtu in 1998.

Natural gas (distribution)
Article Abstract:
Gas utilities continue to be regulated by the state, but are expanding their market by doing business as non-regulated brokers selling alternative gas-supply services. Competition amongst utilities establishes the profit levels for these auxiliary activities, which has resulted in strategic alliances aimed at encouraging mergers among utilities. These activities make gas stocks a greater risk than usual, but some income portfolios may still be interested in gas utilities.
