Congrats Bill, an invaluable resource to stay on top of things OTC… Keep the news coming!!! Btw, I think the biggest white spot is Greenland – you should do something about this!
I may do a post or two in Icelandic or whatever they speak in Greenland.
Impressive statistics there Bill considering the relatively young age of the site, very impressive indeed. I wonder if by the time the second anniversary arrives the CFTC will have finalised its substituted compliance rule.
Keep up the good work. Loved the Mars landing vid the other day.
