Has anyone used these? I've bought the normal ones and not had too many problems apart from the sometimes closing at an obscure prices that doesn't reflect the actual commodity but then corrects itself the following day. Also do any of you use the short ones as these look interesting also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
