Puffygums, How are you so familiar with the MGEX? Are you a trader there? Can you share with us any insight? Thanks
The argument that Pimco will move to Swaptions on the screen it ridiculous. Pimco will use whatever the cheapeast and easiest method of executing...
Familiar with efficient markets? Size affects prices in efficient markets. Also, wasn't Soros' broker to blame for screwing up his order?
In further support of Maverick, were any of you around during the Crash of 87? Because if you were, you'd know that every market maker in New York...
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
CFTC has no jurisdiction on the licenses of the indexes. Dow Jones had license over Dow Jones, Standard & Poors over the S&P, and Nasdaq over the...
I also agree with Maverick on the power of the floor. A friend of mine just began trading on the floor of the Merc. His pit is so crowded he can't...

If you have any other questions on grains, feel free to post them. Once had some experience on the CBOT grain floor, but never did any grain...
Hey Tea, I believe the CME purchased the exclusive rights to the S&P 500 from Standard & Poors. Therefore, I don't think anyone else could...
