Is it likely down that now the CBOT is a public traded company that commission rates for members will increase in the future? I mean if members no have any "control" shareholders could basically do what the want. Is there any incentive for shareholders not increasing members commissions? Any input on this would be appreciated. Im considering getting a seat for cost issues but Im worrying about the issue stated above in the future.
Almost the entire stock is owned by members, so not very likely. Only a small percentage of the entire company is available to the public.
