Good evening,

Investors are often discouraged from buying the headlines. In fact, selling the news is frequently the proper course of action in making your investment decisions.  

But the energy sector can be a notable outlier. This is a sector that has many integrated parts, but it comes down to supply and demand.  

Natural gas stocks tend to rise in the last quarter of the year as the Northern Hemisphere prepares for higher demand in the cold winter months. And like clockwork, the price of natural gas climbed about 20% in September. 

However, supply and demand can be easily impacted by headline news. 

Like hurricanes. 

As we write this, two hurricanes have impacted the southeastern United States. For many Americans, this is an unimaginable event.  

But if you take the emotion out of it, there’s an opportunity in the natural gas sector.  

On October 8, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) showed that natural gas inventory increased at a lower-than-expected level. That’s likely due, in part, to the impact of Hurricane Helene. With Hurricane Milton now out to sea, you’d expect supply to remain lower for the next several weeks.  

And that presumes that there won’t be more storms to come.  

That’s why it’s a good time to consider investing in natural gas stocks.  

If you’re a long-term investor, you may be thinking that investing based on black swan events is best left for traders. You could be right, but natural gas stocks aren’t just momentum plays. Many long-term investors can find dividend-paying stocks that help you generate income.
