DGAZ tracks three times the inverse of the S&P GSCI Natural Gas Index Excess Return. For those complaining about the 3 times short ratio, you will see that yesterday the S&P GSCI Natural Gas Index Excess Return was down almost exactly one-third of the drop in DGAZ, so the 3X correlation is in place.
GSCI roll date starts on the 5th business day of the month and lasts 5 days (Say March 7 to March 13 will be the roll days). DGAZ will be in the April nat gas futures contract until March 14th, when it will have completely rolled into the May contract. DGAZ has nothing to do with the current March futures contract that is trading over $6.
