 PROFILE
You "can" buy soybean futures at The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), but the not-for-profit association facilitates more than the agriculture-based trading for which it is famous. Founded in 1848, CBOT is one of the world's largest futures exchanges, allowing businesses to manage risk by locking in commodity prices. Some 3,600 members trade futures and options ranging from precious metals to live hogs to US Treasury bonds. Although most members trade verbally and use an elaborate hand-signal system, CBOT has introduced electronic trading, teaming with European electronic derivatives exchange Eurex. CBOT is demutualizing and may split its traditional and electronic trading segments into two for-profit entities.
