with 25k margins comming on copper it's tempting to assume comex wants retail and small spec out as opposed to in i made my first few trades via access recently, kind of similar to using a telegraph
funny,cause i just read that the ecbot has 40% of the gold trades i would think that maybe comex would wake up. Month-to-date, the CBOT Gold futures complex accounted for nearly 40 percent of listed Gold futures contracts traded in North America didn't i read that you used to work there? (nymex)how come they are so stubborn and won't adjust? oris the leadership so arrogant.
