As I learned about 'contango' just last week, here is what I can tell you -

Contango is when the futures price of a commodity is higher than the expected spot price of the commodity at the contract maturity.

This is illustrated today by the ~.20 cent 'upside down' difference between the next two NatGas futures contracts.

UGAZ/DGAZ has already rolled out of Nov and into Dec contracts (scroll to the bottom)
