    Hi,

    Does anyone know where to find current lease prices for NYMEX memberships? CME site shows current buy/sell prices, but I couldn't find lease rates.

    Thanks! I found it shortly after I posted... go figure.

    I'm probably going to have to punt the membership idea even further down the road. I just realized corporate memberships (which is what I'd need for my commodity pool) requires me to lease *two* memberships. So, the break-even point is just that much further off.
     
  3. you mean for a CPO?

    Yes, I just registered and started trading a CPO. I'm the only investor, and doing enough volume that I thought memership may make sense. Two memberships, however, is a different story.

    Do you have any experience with ICE membership? I was about to get excited after seeing a bid/offer price of $10k on ICE membership... then I saw this:

    "The bidder must have 3,162 shares of ICE common stock in an unrestricted account at Computershare in order to place the bid."

    With ICE trading ~$100/share, that means I have to put up $300k in order to become an equity owner in ICE...? But I assume these shares can be sold if/when I ever relinquish membership?
     
  6. heech I have zero experience with ICE membership. I do lease a CME seat, but I really don't do any trading on ICE.

    TX, how much do you pay on exchange fees per contract on your markets? For some reason, I can't find it back on CME website.

    Thanks a lot.
