Because the backwardation in index futures comes from dividends combined with near zero interest rates, and nothing else.

This isn't cotton.

whoever posted that has 'priced himself to irrelevence.'
 
bingo.

this is something even a newbie should know.

how they post crap like that on ZH and at the same time mix it in with real insight is amazing.

Real insight from ZH? I haven't yet witnessed anything of the sort... Most of the crap they post is just that, crap.

Thank you,
