MoneyWeek videos are designed to help you become a better investor, and to give you a better understanding of the markets. They’re aimed at both beginners and more experienced investors.
In all our videos we explain things in an easy-to-understand way. Some videos are about important ideas and concepts. Others are about investment stories and themes in the news. The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.
We’ve already made over 200 financial videos and we add more each week. You can see the full archive here at MoneyWeek videos.

Really? I did not think that this was that great a job. Eg. Why choose "producer" and "manufacturer" when "buyer" and "seller" could suffice? Produce and manufacture are quite synonymous, and now you have to remember - who is buying who is selling?

I don't think there is a limit to the potential profits in the market and it all depends on your capital. I trade FX with SQB_AMAC which is the best strategy ever developed and I started with a $ 5,000 account and was able to raise more than $ 380,000 in 6 months. Just get the SQB-AMAC strategy and good capital and the stars could be yours.

Remember that the moment you sign a futures contract to buy or sell an asset at a particular price you are locked in to those terms no matter what the market price then does. The only way out of a contract as the buyer is to close your position and make the relevant payment to the seller. The advantage if a futures contract is price certainty but this is also its drawback if you can buy cheaper later on the open market. Tim.
@giannispets
@giannispets 2 года назад
One of my question is how futures are connected with the producer of the real underlying asset... lets say someone shorts the market and drives the price down a miner for example might not willing to sell at this price because at this price he might be unprofitable
@TkankaFotowoltaiczna
@TkankaFotowoltaiczna 2 года назад
@@giannispets did you find the answer? I like how in the video was mentioned many times that this is pure gambling. But does this gambling impacting real market prices? If yes - well, in my opinion we have a problem.
@dragonchr15
@dragonchr15 Год назад
@@giannispets that's the point of a futures contract...it is an OBLIGATION to buy or sell. The miner has no choice but to sell his products to the bearer of the contract for the agreed upon price. The miner can be sued for not executing an agreed upon contract by two parties. Another possibility is if the party that the miner entered into the contract with, maybe an energy company, sells the futures contract to a trader via a broker, the trader, who probably has no use for the miner's products (let's say coal), will just accept a cash payout from the miner for the difference. ie, if the contract was to sell 100 lumps of coal for $10 (made up commodity, lol), then the miner has to provide the 100 lumps of coal for $10 ($1,000 total) to the energy company. If the coal was trading for $15 a lump on the open market, the energy company wins and the coal miner loses. If the price of coal plummets to $5, maybe due to political issues, the energy company may buy the coal for $5 on the open market, and when the time comes to settle the contract with the miner, it might pay $500 cash to the miner ($1,000 (contract) - $500 (market)). On the flip side, if the price of coal rises to $15 because of opposite political issues, the miner might just sell his 100 lumps of coal on the open market and pay the energy company $500 ($1,500 (market) - $1,000 (contract)) to reimburse them for the extra they had to pay.

@pennycarlson1943

As far as risk goes, speculating in futures is akin to gambling. however; futures markets also provide a way for those involved in production of commodities to lock in a price (hedge). The big difference between speculation and gambling is that gambling creates risk. With speculation, the risk of price changes already exists. Futures markets are a way for the risk to be transferred from the hedger, who wants to lock in a price so that they can intelligently plan for production, to the speculator, who wants to accept the risk and hopes to profit from accepting that risk.

Is not gambbling, the market reacts to simple supply, demand and scarcity and base on probabilities and statistics you say "There's gonna be chicken scarcity so prices may go up, i should buy chicken futures contracts to fix a price before it goes up and so if prices rise, i would have my chicken at a lower fixed price not afected by current inflation" Its hedging against risk, not gambbling
