I fully appreciate that the CBOT is a business and has a right to generate a
profit. However I don't find the Dow a dull market.
But the point/question being proposed was whether this contract is even
remotely viable and will it generate any interest at all...which of course
would make it a very poor business decision if it doesn't.
I just wanted to get some feedback from others on how they view this
contract as a trading vehicle.
