Amaranth is to NatGas as ...

Note: I AM NOT calling a bottom here. Not yet, not now.
I think a parellel may be drawn between the Amaranth collapse and the Barings collapse? Both led to the collapse in prices in the markets of the securities the firms were respectively active in, but after that, the market jumped sharply, though the bottoming took the Nikkei a while before it surged.
Perhaps some similar opportunity may present itself in the energy market, we'll see.

That whole situation was just nuts. A multi-billion dollar spread, and it the fund wasn't even based around futures, but it surely was the death of them.

Jack Haddad wrote a great article summarizing it.

Yeah well I was wrong about it, a bit over 10% lost on it. Exiting oil and commodities.
