Last qtr, it was worth about $2250, today about $2875. 3 months from now maybe $3000. I guess I have to wait much longer to buy my dream car ! or maybe get a used one !

I sensed that politics could affect a local's pnl due to the nature of open outcry although I know that some pits are more fair than others. I also sense that the edge still exist in the pits for 2 reasons. 1. The seat values. THe NYBOT leases around $700-$1,000 for the past 12 years. The NYMEX...
