Lease or Buy.

Just wondering why people lease instead of buying? For example would it not be better to buy a seat on the CME instead of leasing? I'm not in the position to do such a thing just yet but I want to start gathering some information.

Thanks in Advance.

addtion: I'm guessing the seat price would increase year over year. Is this not the case?
 
I think the last seat sale was approx 370K. I think if you have an office with multiple traders than its the way to go. Any other comments regarding seats/leasing?

Thanks

1mm vs. 1500/mo, these are just guesses, that million aint no mortgage either, ie you need the cash.
 
Ozz.. If memory serves me right, you would need an IOM membership to trade the electronically traded globex products.
 
lease is around $600 for the $375k seat

for starters, I'd definately lease maybe half a year
$3k ,
if I make much more money, maybe $100k off that $3k, of course I'd go and buy the seats and making my commission even lower,

but as always

try before you buy
$600 a month is spectacular to do just that :)
