    Two beginner questions about futures:

    Wheat is settled by physical delivery, not in cash:http://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/CBOT/II/14/. That's why we don't hold long positions after first notice day. If you have sold a contract of wheat, you normally notify during this period the longest holding buyer that you will deliver the 5000...

    Two beginner questions about futures:

    Damn, I have a few questions for you: - What will the producer be paid at the end of the contract ?The price they agreed on or the settlement of the futures ( spot price )? - What does the average weighted price during the life of the futures has to do with the settlement of the futures (...

    Two beginner questions about futures:

    A,B,C don't necessarily sell all their crop in advance. Even if they wanted to do so, futures contract implies a quantity and A,B,C don't know exactly what their crop quantity will be, so they can't sell all their crop in advance in the futures market. Yeah that's right, if you got only 3...

    Two beginner questions about futures:

    First,there are multiple grain producers , selling their crops at different times in the futures market. Second, one producer doesn't necessarily sell all his wheat at one expiry and doesn't necessarily sell everything based on a forward contract( but on the cash market too ).It's a market ...

    Two beginner questions about futures:

    It's the same as a plain ticket for example. Just because you were anticipating your travel and got a good price 3 months before the flight doesn't mean people are not buying that plane ticket at a much higher price in the weeks before. Your deal doesn't mean price stop to fluctuate..LOL

    Two beginner questions about futures:

    A transaction at 4$ is a contract between a seller and a buyer to deliver at this price based on what is expected right now to be the price in June. It's the case for every trade. It doesn't mean cash market price will be 4$ in June, just that this seller will sell to this buyer at this price in...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Why? :confused: I am with FTF, I think it is one of the best article on the subject. I don't see where it would make a case for HFT... The only problem here is that not even 1/10th of FTT supporters can understand it.

    More difficult than who? Who wants it apart from old trading unfriendly UE countries? Every country you visit , you get a "NO"... Just like this : "he is aware of opposition to the measure from some countries outside of the EU.". And inside the EU? Everybody is fully backing it ??? You are a(...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Are you sure? In the article I posted, the prime minister says there were positive reactions to the proposal. Same here in fact. Poland has quite an important trading community( some people on ET ) trading the US market for the most part. They only have revenues to lose, nothing to make with...

    LOL.That's right. The biggest mistery to me is when they want to use it "against climate change". What are they planning to do? Giving money to Sahel half dictators so that they can reirrigate a country in desertification? giving subsidies to guano producers in Peru when El Nino is coming...

    why does price tend to fall faster than it rises?

    Some big particpants in the markets( mutual funds for example) and Joe Public are long only. They aren't good traders. They just progressively get in when stocks are already in a uptrend and all get out at the same time when market crashes, creating tremendous pressure on the downside.
