The CBOT is a business like anyone else. They're trying to generate some
interest in a dull market.

Subject: Mini DJ
: I have wanted a Mini (electronic) version of the DJ futures contract to
: trade for quite awhile. And on 9/30 the CBOT is introducing a Mini DJ
: contract.
:
: But in looking at the specs of this new contract it appears that the old
: saying of "be careful what you wish for you just might get it" may apply
: because this contract is only worth $2 a point or 1/5 the size of the
normal
: DJ futures contract.
:
: Is it just me or does anyone else find this contract a bit on the small
: side, and more of an attempt by the CBOT to generate revenues instead of
: offering a viable contract?
