Over the past three years, a number of the natural gas trusts have tanked over the summer and then made strong comebacks in the winter and spring (all the while paying monthly dividends). Interestingly, this summer these trusts have held their ground or gone up. I am hoping this means that a cold winter will see a real explosion in price, and perhaps even dividend increases. Note that PGH just increased its monthly dividend .02 (Canadian), just under 10%. Others may or may not follow.
