I'm a visual learner... something like this?

OK, so can someone explain this expiration date thing in layman's terms? Also what are the pro's and con's of trading the Jun versus the Sept?

SS 600 CCCG @ 22.05 9:45 AM CVR 600 CCCG @ 21.58 11:00AM +$280 Since Start of Journal: $555 (4% gain)

When looking at the quotes for the E-Mini's on the CME website, which one is the one that is traded by E*Trade, the pit-traded, or GLOBEX? I guess a better way to ask this would be, what is the difference between the pit traded, and GLOBEX E-Mini?

Entered: SS POWI @ 23.42 at 9:35 AM Cvr POWI @ 22.90 at ~2:30 Had 550 shares on it so took a $275 profit. Got this one from the downgrade list. It lost about 5% overnight, but then as soon as it opened it shot up to about 1% down. This seemed ripe for the picking. Since start of...
