  1. Why screw around with SPY when you have so much more flexibility and leverage with ES futures ?
    Guys ...what am I missing here ?

  2. The purpose of this thread was *specifically* to talk about shares and *not* futures :) Because there are a plethora of examples on futures I thought it would be nice to do one on actual stocks/ETFs.

    The reason being some people may not want to deal with any level of margin that would ever have them ever concerned about a margin call, which is a lot safer to do with Stocks than Futures.
