...British student facing gloomy prospects, it was refreshing to hear such an accurate and level-headed analysis of the political situation in Britain, especially when MPs are so quick to naively dismiss the BNP's growing popularity as simply protest-voting to punish those whom we hold responsible for the recession. The article should remind MPs that BNP voters are not necessarily neo-Nazis or even racists.

...paint the full picture. As of Aug. 24, the U.S. Natural Gas Fund, an exchange-traded fund listed as UNG on the NYSE, held about 10% of the contracts in the October 2009 futures market traded on NYMEX. Combine that position with its over-the-counter swap holdings, and UNG held the equivalent of more than 50% of the October contract's open interest. In following its plan to buy and hold natural gas, UNG keeps rolling its position into the next futures month.
