OK, I am a Johnny-Come-Lately with this one.

Fracking is causing an enormous supply gut here in the US. It will be quite awhile before demand catches up. That means low prices as far as the eye can see.

In addition, because this ETF trades futures it cannot track the actual price of natural gas. Rather, it will have to trade out of futures when they are near, and into futures that are farther out. Contango can kill their returns.
