His theory is it is the "Weak Hands Report". A theoretically sure-fire way for the larger players to run off the smaller ones by driving the market contrary to the action in the E-Mini. I had some plans for trades today, but unfortunately just got an urgent call to play golf at 11:30, my time. I also lost my train of thought with regard to this E-Mini stuff. So I'm afraid I can't stay and play with you good people today, I have to attend to priorities first.

I believe I read somewhere that if you have the right number (equivalent) of mini contracts, you can close it out as the large contract. Now this doesn't make sense as the mini 1 point is $50, and the large one point is $250. This would seem to indicate a 5 to 1 ratio, however, I also read that the contract value on the mini is 1/10 the size of the large. This is confusing, but if there is a reasonable explanation, you could make money somewhere in there I bet.... Ack...too much to do today to think about it for now....maybe this weekend I can get the answers.... -Scott
