I wonder if there is any significance to open interest levels on CBoT's full-sized gold contract... it's much lower as a proportion/multiple of daily volume than Nymex's equivalent. Does this mean CBoT is getting a speculative/day trader market as opposed to Nymex's institutional one? Could this...

Any update on that? Man/Refco have settled with TT, does that mean TT back at Mac etc?

CBoT seat price has correlated with CME share price since the Merc's IPO, so a whole lot of that growth is already priced in. Also, CME owns its own clearinghouse and its own electronic matching engine. CBoT uses CME's clearinghouse and Euronext Liffe's matching engine. IMO, long term CBoT's...

FIA isn't an FCM, so no.

Mostly old news by now, just one of our weekly round ups on this: http://www.fow.com/articles/foweek_article.asp?storyCode=3949 FCM officials seemed pretty much to be at the consensus that you'd be pretty foolish to keep your money in there. BTW, as a journalist I feel I ought to point...

Btw, feel free to post or PM.

I've heard some things about Curvalue's purchase by VDM - the word "overpriced" featured quite strongly. Anyone trade, or used to trade, at Curvalue and have a view? Also heard that their own front end is quite "TT-alike" - is that accurate? Two points: - I am a journalist but do not...

Thanks for that. I made the original post in order to exchange information with people who have some, shich I have done via PM and other means. I believe there is a story there but unfortunately not one that I can print at the moment, which is why I haven't posted it here. However, I have...

Consider yourself told.

5c a side on top of whatever else they were paying before. In answer to a previous question, TT issue quarterly access codes to all users. The most recent ones issued to Refco users expire on 7 May, after which they will not be able to access TT. Quick straw poll as I've heard differing...

GHCO are widely believed to be paying TT 5c a side. TT have issued termination letters to Refco subsidiaries globally, including London. 7 May is the official shutoff date, but Refco have applied for an injunction to block this.

I am using all avenues available to me. Obviously I am not going to write a story that could cost me my job based on anonymous gossip. It is more a question of trying to find out the right questions to ask. As I said before, once I have anything I think is publishable I will let you know...

If it's any help to anyone, the story that I've heard is about activities that have already happened and, to the best of my knowledge, should not have any effect on current Mac traders in the immmediate future. I should apologise for the aparent trouble/concern that I have caused. It was...

Hmm. Thanks for that. Alternatively, you could use a derivatives news source that is, how can I put this, good.

My sources are not from this site.

Thanks to people who have PMed me. If there is a story here I will post it when it's tight enough. To the previous poster, yes I am a journalist, something which I have never hidden. It's not tabloid stuff though, I am following a lead down as many routes as I can. People who have spoken to...
