E-Mini Nasdaq 100

As the U.S. economy evolves due to technology and industry, many of the leading companies involved in the revolution are part of the NASDAQ 100 Index. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has made available an electronic mini (e-mini) version of the NASDAQ 100 futures at a mere one-fifth the size of the NASDAQ 100. These new contracts offer investors an exciting and more affordable new way to invest.
