Re: Soybeans

Initially they were pit trade contracts when they first were introduced.

This was before I read that link that the CBOT were gonna trade the mini ags on ecbot.

http://cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail...+47000,00.html

So up until that release, they WERE pit traded, trust me I looked into when they were introduced.

Re: Soybeans

To recap...

First we had someone post that the daily limits on the corn is 5% (WRONG).

Then we had another post that said the mini-Ags were not electronically traded (again WRONG).

Is it really that difficult for folks to check the facts before making supposedly authoritative statements on this board?

Just wanted to keep everyone straight here....

Re: Soybeans

dude, things change, not everyone has the time to be up to date with all these changes.

not like everyone should believe everything they read to begin with.

Margin rates change, nothing stays the same.

if people really wanted to find out, they would just go to the exchange website and LOOK for it themselves, but people are lazy and want to be TOLD what the information is.

Re: Soybeans

Sometimes I can't read the CBOT site's press releases too well with all the marketing mumble jumble that goes with it. I have to reference other sources just to get the fact straight. My name's mud.
