here is a chart of settlement prices to settle hedges written using NYMEX as the index

Note: Feb NG closed at 6.26!!!! It's not the average of the month, it's point in time! So CRK and others will have to write a huge check for what they "hedged" difference between 6.26 less the swap price 2 say 2.56 (6.26-2.56)= 3.70 per MBTU.. If they only averaged 3.76 for the month they got ZERO FOR THEIR PRODUCTION.

Maybe you faced this problem in February, where losses on NYMEX hedges caused you to write a big check to the bank, but you will not receive an equivalently higher cash price for your gas during February.

The key is to have basis swaps. Without them, writers of hedges were screwed blue and tattooed
The fact that AEGIS took time to do a special report says someone said WTF and has a problem.
