DislikedHell the guys in the meats made the most. You had to have a full to trade the meats. When they listed spooz and the euro$'s, they gave away those IOM's and IMM's for next to nothing, to get people to trade in there. I knew a guy in the bellies that had like 10 seats, lol.Ignored
The only reason they ever got bonds voted up at the Board was because of that stupid physical delivery, which has done nothing but cause an arbitrage that puts a certain bond on special every quarter. At least CME understood that just because you cash settled Eurodollars didn't mean that evildoers would come and use the futures tail to wag the market dog.
Now you've gotten me started on Chicago futures traders. I have to go heat up this coffee and calm down.
