Also there is a $25,000 minimum, I see. A noticeable amount for me, anyway.

Russ, the interest on the bond accrues against you, if they use bonds instead of futures (in which case the coupon is embedded in the discount, so same difference). However, you do receive the short rebate on the cash from the short, so it isn't as much as you might expect.
