<If I open up a commod-account to trade a spoo contract will you stay?>

It's not my intention to do a Maynard G. Krebs. I'm half asleep, but Tom was looking for more active traders, as I recall. Rightfully so.

So, I just suggested we should look elsewhere.

I would prefer not to expend the effort.

I think the average margin for intraday is about 10 each and 12 overnight each. I don't have a link, to tell the truth. Without looking at the Jack Carl link you provided I would think it's a little lower than I just said, at Carl.

I'll look at it in a moment and if I'm wrong I'll rush back with an edit.

EDIT. Wow, Carl is a bit high.

Coupled with what I have been told I would not use them. Try Zap Futures or Man or LTG or J. Aron or just about anyone. Flip a coin. Don't rely on Carl. Just my thoughts.

I suppose I'll get crap about this now as well.
