>Some of you know that there has been a move afoot by the CFTC to

>discuss matters pertaining to trading and futures.

>Well after many years of watching the wheels of justice grind ever so
>slowly, the case was finally heard this week in federal court and a
>decision will be presented in about two weeks.

>It is hard to understand how the judge will rule on the case but from

>If we don't win, all the facts that were important to the case were

>appeal.

>The Institute for Justice represented us in this case and they have

>They worked for years on this and they didn't charge us. It is hard

>when we were floundering and helped us get the governments attention
>and if we are lucky, will force the CFTC to stop.
