"Yeah, I don't own any pure play natural gas businesses. If I did, there would only be one on the list for me, and it's EQT. Um, it's absolutely the best in the business, but I have to crib Peter Lynch here. A great business and a mediocre industry is a mediocre business and I'm just afraid eventually that's going to happen. It's just a tough, tough place to make a living. But EQT does it better than anybody. Natural gas prices have been in a basement for a long, long time, and that's really hurt EQT's overall profitability. They're giving a natural gas 10 out of 10 is what I'm hearing."

The speaker emphasizes EQT as the leading pure play in natural gas despite an overall tough industry environment. He highlights that while EQT outperforms its peers, the inherent challenges of a mediocre industry could eventually limit its prospects, underlining the dual nature of strong business fundamentals offset by tough market conditions.
