The mentality of the herd be it long or short is overwhelming. Watch the discover channel sometime. You will see stories of herd animals running through the most hunted grounds for thousands of years. Seeing their kin and likeness get brutally savaged time and again. There are alternative...

Thank you for your reply, again read my statement and do some research. You are not long an sp or are short an sp, you are entered into a financially settled contract with a counterparty against the underlying index on expiration. For every short, there is a long. Good trading and have a...

Futures constitute a contract with a notional value, terms like long and short are misleading. Buying and selling represent taking opposing sides of the contract, as opposed to an equity transaction where there is delivery of a security, or an actual securitized asset. I suggest you...
