    Briefing.com Good enough for 10/month. I only trade futures so I don't need much other than economic news.

    questions about T-Bills

    T Bill futures trade at the CME but volume has dried up. close to 0, and been replaced by the ED. You can't take delivery, cash settlement, and they are sold in the cash market at a discount and you receive par at maturity only. Hope that answers all.

    Completion of Investigation of mini-sized Dow trading on July 3

    Waggie Gee, really. Trading has always been a bit of a war with people of all sorts involved. I just enjoy commenting when I visit this place and read the wishes of those who want pits to disappear so the game won't be so difficult I guess. Jealousy is a horrible thing.

    Eurex, Chicago Exchanges get ready to rumble

    You petty, pathetic wimps who couldn't make it at the exchanges would just love to get your revenge. No such luck, I'm afraid. Liquidity is what its all about, you geniuses, and market makers fill the floors in Chicago. I suppose you will all step forward and do the same for Eurex. Good luck

    Do you pay Health Insurance out of your profits?

    I was told the way to go is set up a corporation, which I did, and channel your income through the corp and pay all your medical expenses through it. This allows you to deduct 100% of your expenses from profits as opposed to the limits placed on individuals. Works for me.

    CME SP futures electronic soon ?

    Right, notice the ED volume last week. Huge. Electronic traders going to take down size in volatile markets? Nope. Market making function provided in pits allows me to trade large numbers, no chance that can be done electronically unless you feel like selling down or bidding up to get filled. As...

    ES- more 100+ contract trades today?

    The system is only as good as those who use it. Can't happen in pit trades so I would imagine having both will go on for the forseeable future.

    Can a Graduate Degree from Oxford U help me get a salaried position in trading?

    Your background will get you interviews, after that I'm told by a few people I called you will be battling it out with a lousy market in terms of many graduates for few jobs. But I've seen that before and good people succeeded. Good luck to you.

    Chicago Mercantile Exchange Eurodollar Locals Dazed and Confused

    I trade in that pit. I have no mortgage. I own no stock, other than CME stock which I wouldn't sell at any price because of the dividends the CME pays. I trade all 40 ED contracts in packs, bundles, spreads, butterflies, condors, and on and on. I'm still waiting for the on line trading crowd to...

    Here is the CME's complete explanation

    Anyone who makes a statement like "we all know the guys on the floor are a bunch of crooks" and implies a conspiracy was somehow hatched to get the off floor traders knows nothing about the CME . As I mentioned, the Merc makes $ being in operation, not being down. As for the crooks, I know a lot...

    Here is the CME's complete explanation

    Why don't you idiots stop complaining about the evil people at the CME who have it in for you. The floor is not going away. The Merc didn't intentionally go down to screw anyone. They make $ being open you know. That explanation of the evil pit guy and his friend, brother, etc buying or selling...
