RRman; I got you so after june that 8m will change..and they will look to sept . like this is the futures contract ? I'v never traded futures and the only one I'v tracked is the S&P500 & GOLD , SILVER, but not to trade them. Trading futures I'm sure is over my head , and beyond my risk level. On the one hand it fascinates me, however I'm not blind to the fact that the way they are leveraged this will in time lead to some extream inflation or a collapse. It does no good to argue the point as they have built all the check and balance into their arguments, but live in denial that for the checks and balances to work, some body will have to have the "real" money to cover the positions at some point and time, and that real money might not be there when the time comes or it can get devalued so much that along with debt not being servised, the future contract may not get serviced. ( don't forget what happen to copper not long go )..the Banks in Japan that have had huge problems say bad loans, but beyound that was holding future contracts on their books they also could not collect on, they don't want to talk about taht. In effect most of it is just a way to conterfit money that is for the time being legal. Inflate , Inflate per chance to dream, but what dreams we fly off unto we know not of.. Jim
