The high liquidity of energy futures contracts and relatively low holding costs,
make them an important alternative investment vehicle for the serious investor's portfolio.

Exchange's world reputation for energy price discovery, market transparency,
and financial innovation with the liquidity of the NYMEX ClearPort®
electronic trading platform.
NYMEX miNY™ energy futures are 50% of the size of the Exchange's standard
NYMEX Division energy futures contracts, with two NYMEX miNY™ energy futures
equal to one standard futures contract. NYMEX miNY™ energy futures
offer advantages to investors seeking affordable instruments that provide
portfolio diversification and trading opportunities.
The financial integrity of all trades in the NYMEX miNY™ energy futures is assured by the New York Mercantile Exchange

flow, more efficient use of capital, and reduced costs. |
