Whew! That's a relief. This is one contract that I would not want to be physically deliverable, for obvious reasons.

Uranium futures -- you get over ten times leverage at the current U3O8 price. Margin is $2750 per contract if your broker is a NYMEX member.

The "price" of UX is a racket its like DeBeers controlling manipulating and once a month saying what the price is.
I looked at these UX futures and the bid ask spread says it all for the July 07 contract is bid 11,500 and ask 15,100.
