    Why is the e-mini dow so thinly traded?

    Read all about it. I used to trade the hourly and end of day close on the dow on tradesports following the underlying movers, did very well. http://usmarket.seekingalpha.com/article/18041

    Why is the e-mini dow so thinly traded?

    True, and it is conversly price weighted on only 30 stocks. Easier to see the tail wagging the dog. I quit trading the ym for a couple of months but have seen some good things the last week and may step back up. Seeing opportunities to trade it side by side with the es like I haven't seen...

    Why is the e-mini dow so thinly traded?

    When the es started trading the cme gave greatly reduced exchange fees for a very low annual fee to drive volume. The best you can do with the ym is buy an IDEM seat for $33,000 to save about $.80/side. They probably waved fees for a few months when they introduced the product...

    What will it take to spark a contagion?

    Hedge fund collapse like like late last year, no. Asian meltdown ala one month ago? Rising tensions in Middle East? Subprime and housing woes? Have you forgot about the US auto manufacturers? I smell liquidity woes. I think we will start to catch it now, with the religious holidays...

    Less than 20% fall in home prices will destroy the banking system?

    This is Saving and Loan 2.0. Happened before. By the end of May there will be bailout bills floating around, passed by the end of the year. It is early in the primary season. Big bargains to be had in real estate coming up, again. Still not as bad as Japan in the 80's from which they have...

    Buying an IDEM seat.

    True, you could of bought a mge seat for $30,000 just over a year ago presently selling for $115,000. A hedge fund trader would obviously see the upside with limited dowside.

    Crude !!!

    Iran is in a world of hurt. Entitlements are overwhelming and no investment in exploration in their biggest source of revenue. They will collapse within 18 months if egged on like the USSR. Care to play cold war II anyone? Especially with a fatalist with a nuclear weapon?

    Buying an IDEM seat.

    Did not buy one yet, bid and ask raised quickly, I always miss it by a tick or a day. Speculation is better access to ice products I am sure. If not, provision in takeover deal to enhance value of existing holders. They will not piss off the most active market participants, what's a couple...

    Let's see, 25% over risk free rate of return in one year if I am correct, give me a tip on an unleveraged better use of cash and I will pay you a negotiated commision if you are correct.

    Buying an IDEM seat.

    Even though I no longer trade the ym I am going to bid on a ym seat. Went from mid $30,000's to $27,000 back to $30,000 in the last few months. It's gotta be worth $40,000 once a suitor get the cbot and makes the seatholder whlole or restructuring fees and e-trading product mix. No deal goes...
