    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    Buying calls for a living and arguing with derivman

    Theoretic Futures Price = Underlying Price + Financing Cost. Given ceterus parabus conditions, Financing Costs will obviously fall in absolute terms as the contract nears expiry. For index futures, depending on how the underlying is structured, dividends and how the withholding tax regime is...
