Re: Short Selling Tick Test-- Bye Bye!
Look for the Merc to make a push for their mini S&P MidCap400 contract (same tick/point value as the current Russell 2000 mini). Keep in mind that the real money is in the large RL pit-traded Russell 2000 contract, so this is the contract that the "big boys" will be really concerned about.

Also, you'll be able to trade the mini-Russell on the ICE platform from the NYBOT - although most brokers probably aren't setup for trading on it yet electronically. This is another reason to give FCMs a reason to use the ICE to trade electronically.
