Toby, I run a Trading firm and I have seen quite a few very large Arb guys moving into the Dow or looking into the a move. It looks like it may start to hop.
Also, I have been working with the CBOT and they are spending a fortune to market it to the Retail crowd. I believe their marketing budget was over $5 million, so they are getting aggressive. I think that it is good advice to take a Good Look. Also, I haven't seen too many guys knocking it out in the ES and NQ, so I am encouraging my folks to look at the MiniDOW. Basically, the costs are so low that I think it is a no brainer for struggling ES and NQ traders. A scratch doesn't hurt as much when it only costs a Buck a round turn. Maybe I better tone it down a bit, but Good Luck anyway.
