Hello, Jack,

I wanted the flexabilty of the e-mini
compared to the big S&P future (great for money management) but I may have
to go that way if SPDR doesn't work out.  Any advice would be gratefully
welcomed.
Regards,  Jack.

When looking at the difference between SPDRs and SP or E-mini futures,
don't  forget  about the tax benefit of futures contracts (60/40 LT/ST
capital  gains)  compared to the SPDRS.  Of course if you have elected
traders  status  and  mark  to  market  for tax purposes this wouldn't
apply.
