We need numbers Triff. I've already got 72 for the peak. But I didn't specify a date for that which is another contract we could establish.

There aren't any regulations for Sun-Spot futures that I'm aware of so we can set our own margin requirements. I suppose counterparties would set their individual requirements. At present we don't even have a broker/market maker/trading desk established. <I'll go long sunspots now and
plan to hold until 2011 ..

BTW .. whats' the margin requirement ??

This could be the next bubble after the Biotelecosmictechdot.com Y2K bubble and the housing bubble. People thought commodities would be the bubble but that went bust before it got going in a big way, though oil did go from $10 in 1999 to $140 not long ago, so that's a bubble any way you look at it. Gold also went up by a factor of over 3 which is bubblish.

I might zip over to Australia/Death Valley/Sahara and buy a huge chunk of desert so units of that could be a glaciation "human migration" futures play. Neo would obviously take the opposite bet and buy up huge amounts of Siberia and northern Manitoba/Quebec in preparation for global warming.
