CME Group had a very strong 2017; reaching record highs in our stock price, a record ADV of 16.3 mil contracts reflecting a 4.1 % increase from 2015 and with options on futures seeing an 11% increase. Since 1985, I have owned three companies specializing in options on futures — this is a key area of my expertise.
