An interesting note for those who are following the EMini's progress
as it relates to the electronic vs. pit debate. This year for the
first half of the year, for every 1 EMini contract traded there were 3
big S&P contracts traded. Last year, the ratio was 1 to 8. For the
month of July, EMini volume was just under half that of the big S&P.
And all of this with limits on Max # of EMini contracts traded.
Imagine what would have happened if there were no contract limits.

BTW: Overall, big S&P volume is down about 2.4 million cars from the
first half of last year to the first half of this year. I wonder if
that correlates with the Dow futures release.
