I see that the MCL contract will begin trading in July, and it just so happens, that I have a day trading strategy that I am prepared to implement. As you may know from being a regular reader of ET, this site is populated with big ballers and shot callers. I am neither! However, I fully believe that power is found in purpose which is revealed through passion. Then again I may just be a hopeless gambler. With that in mind, follow at your own risk.
