I doubt anyone who has actually traded these, or even looked at the charts, 
would make that statement. You will frequently see more ticks (and trades) 
in the NQ in a minute than many of the others see in an hour. The ES and the 
bonds are liquid too, but the rest are not even close. I really don't care 
about the stats from TASC.

That's not to say I would not trade the other markets mentioned, but I would 
expect more slippage on a relative basis.
