Subject: [RT] Single Stock Futures vs Stock Trading: not interesting ?

For some time now, I have been day-trading stocks on NYSE and 
Nasdaq. 
Recently, I received an invitation from my broker to attend an 
online conference to trade SSF on NQLX and Chicago ONE exchanges.

But when I checked the live quotes, I was disappointed: while it 
looks interesting because you have no uptick rule with SSF, I was 
hurt when I discovered the bid-ask spread: an ashaming 5 to 7 pts, 
while the same spread on the underlying stock is only 1 pt !!!
Has anyone some experience with Signle Stock Future trading, am I 
missing something, is this really interesting compared to real stock 
trading ?

Thank you for your comments

Carl
