Futures Market Explained
A three dollar box of corn cereal stays at roughly the same price day-to-day and week-to-week but corn prices can change daily sometimes by a few cents sometimes by a lot more why does the cost of processed foods generally stay quite stable even though the crops that go into them have prices that fluctuate it's partly thanks to the futures market the futures market allows the people who sell and buy large quantities of corn to insulate you the consumer from those changes without going out of business themselves let's meet our corn producer this farmer of course she is always looking to sell her corn at a high price and on the other side our corn user this cereal company is always looking to buy corn at a low price now the farmer has a little bit of a problem because her whole crop gets harvested at once lots and lots of farmers will be harvesting at the same time and the huge supply can send the price falling and even though that price might be appealing to the company that makes cereal from corn it doesn't want to purchase all of its corn at once because among other reasons it would have to pay to store it but it's fortunate that corn can be stored because that means it can be sold and bought throughout the year and this is where the futures market fits in buyers and sellers move bushels around in the market though actual corn rarely changes hands instead of buying and selling corn the farmer and cereal maker buy and sell contracts now we're getting closer to peace of mind for both sides because a futures contract provides a hedge against a change in the price this way neither side is stuck with only whatever the market price is when they want to buy or sell these contracts can be made at any time even before the farmer plants the corn she'll use the futures market to sell some of her anticipated crop on a certain date in the future of course she's not going to sell all of her corn on that contract just enough corn to reassure her that a low price at harvest won't ruin her business the contract provides that security the cereal company uses the same market to buy bushels their contract protects against a high price later contracts will gain or lose money in the futures market if the price goes high the farmer loses money on that futures contract because she's stuck with it but that's okay because now she can sell the rest of her corn what wasn't in that contract at the higher price that offsets her loss in the futures market if at harvest time the price of corn is low well that's exactly why she entered the futures market the low price means her contract makes money so that profit shields her from the sting of the low price she'll get for the bushels she sells now the corn cereal company doesn't like those higher prices and that's why they have a futures contract they make money on it and can use that profit to cover the higher price of the corn they now need to buy the futures market serves as a risk management tool it doesn't maximize profit instead it focuses on balance and in this way it keeps your cereal from breaking your weekly shopping budget

Stocks, Indexes & ETFs - What's The Difference?
Stocks, Indexes & ETFs - What's The Difference?
Hey everyone. This is Kirk, here again from optionalpha.com. In this video tutorial, I want to talk about stocks, indexes and ETFs. We know there’s three main types of underlying securities that we will trade options on. Regardless of your trading experience, it's important that you really understand the benefits and drawbacks of each of these three different types, stocks, indexes and ETFs. That’s what we’re going to go over in this video. With stocks, here are the main benefits. First, there’s thousands of possible companies to trade and I think the keyword here is “possible companies to trade.” That doesn’t mean that they’re all great trading opportunities, but there are so, so many different securities out there that we can trade when it comes to stocks, so there’s a lot of choice. Earnings trading opportunities are huge with stock because they don’t happen on ETFs and indexes, so the ability to trade a stock every quarter around earnings and profit from that implied volatility crush is actually a huge benefit to trading stocks.
Number three is that there always are new players to trade, so there’s always new companies that are coming out and they’re going to be hot stocks and they’re going to have a lot of open interest and volume and liquidity and they’re going to be really great trading vehicles. Things like right now that are new and still hot are still Twitter and GoPro. Tesla is relatively new to the market, still a very hot stock. These new stocks and companies that come out, they give us more trading opportunities in the market. Obviously, some of the big drawbacks to trading stocks is the unsystematic risk, so that risk of immediate bankruptcy overnight or a company getting bought out in an M&A deal, something like that that might cause the stock to make a huge gap in one direction.
The lack of liquidity in most cases is actually a really big problem. Like I said before, there's a lot of companies out there, but they’re not all great trading opportunities. In fact, probably less than 1% of the market has enough liquidity that we would even be interested in trading that stock and the options on it. Fewer trading opportunities because generally, there’s just less companies out there that have options and of those companies that have options available, even less of those companies have options that are really liquid and highly traded, so there’s a lot fewer opportunities in stocks. Then we also do have earnings to contend with, so that throws things through a loop every quarter when we go through that earning cycle. When we talk about index benefits, I think the biggest benefit to trading indexes is that they’re usually huge and liquid markets.
Everybody trades them, they have a lot of liquidity because they’re used from with institutions and hedge funds and private equity shops, so there’s a lot of market players in there which creates a very deep market. They’re easy because most of them settle to cash. Indexes like SPX and RUT and NDX all settle to cash, so there’s not a lot of trouble that you have to go through at expiration if your position is in the money or out of the money. It’s just all settled to cash, so there’s no underlying stock to trade hence. The other major benefit is that it gives us a lot of hedging potential. We often will use in our own portfolio the SPY or SPX as a hedge against some of our other positions. If we get a little bit too overbalanced in one area or another, a little bit too bullish or too bearish, we’ll come in and use one of the major indexes as a way to hedge some of our positions because it’s very liquid, easy to get in and out of and it’s settled to cash.
Some of the major index drawbacks are that option contracts are just larger in value. On the SPX we know this is true, on the RUT we know this is true, NDX we know this is true. Those are just larger valued contracts, so they tend to scare away some of the smaller retail traders. We also tend to see lower implied volatility because these are index options and they’re baskets of securities. They’re not making dramatic moves up and down every single day, we’re not seeing 5% or 10% moves every other day, so they tend to have overall lower implied volatility which just makes it a little bit harder to trade with regard to getting an edge in the market. They don’t have the ability to trade earnings on and that can sometimes be a good thing, but if markets are really calm and implied volatility is really low, then it's really bad because we can’t trade a lot of stocks, we also can’t trade indexes because implied volatility is low.
We don’t have that potential to trade earnings throughout that low implied volatility market. When we talk about ETF benefits, the first and major benefit of trading an ETF or a basket of securities is that it has less tail risk compared to a single stock. When we talk about tail risk, that’s the risk that we mentioned earlier in this video, the risk that a stock just has a huge move up or down because of a bankruptcy or an M&A deal. With ETFs, since they’re baskets of securities, they don't tend to see huge moves in one direction or another and that's why people like to trade them and that's also a really big benefit.
They’re mostly liquid and have deep markets because if you focus on some of the bigger ETFs, (and there are bigger ETF markets than others) they’re pretty liquid and they have pretty deep markets, meaning there’s a lot of participants at different strike prices, it makes it really beneficial for options traders. Number three is you can have focused risk across different industries. If we wanted to go in to say financials and just trade financials, instead of doing it in 10 different securities, we could go into an ETF like XLF and trade just focused in the financial sector. I think that's a really big benefit, is you can target different industries and sectors in your portfolio. Obviously, some of the major drawbacks to ETFs are some of the double and triple inverse choices. Some of those securities aren’t priced well and most people don't understand how they're actually priced, we’ve got a video tutorial inside the membership area that goes through how some of those are priced and the errors that are made in pricing that people don’t understand and I think that’s a huge drawback if you trade just those double or triple inverse choices.
In most cases, there’s too many illiquid options. Like we said, the ones that are really popular have great liquidity, but the ones that are not so popular because there’s a lot of choices, don't have good liquidity at all. Number three is that re-pricing often occurs and what we tend to see is that in some of these double or triple inverse ETFs, when the security gets so low that it becomes almost non-tradable, they’ll re-price it back up to a higher level, reset the clock all over again and that just creates a lot of confusion with some of your positions and some of the strike prices that you have and definitely creates a lot of capital requirement issues because now you’re trading a stock that’s 10 or 5 times higher than where it was before. That's a major drawback that you don't see with stocks or indexes.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video just going through these three different categories of underlyings that we can trade, both the benefits and the drawbacks. As always, if you have any comments or questions, please ask them right below this video on the lesson page. Happy trading! .

Stock Market Investing Tips : Online Stock Trading Advice
Stock Market Investing Tips : Online Stock Trading Advice
Mark Griffith, and this is a brief introduction to online stock trading. There are a large number of companies whose shares you can buy and sell online, and there are first a few things you're going to have to find out about obtaining a broker, or otherwise trading the shares from your computer. There are plenty of brokers, like E-Trade, Charles Schwab, Bank of America, that perform this service. And when you are shopping around, you want to check out the different brokers and see what kind of deal they offer you.
There are a number of things to look for. Check what the trade is....what the cost of trading is. Generally, there's a charge per lot, and generally there's a charge per trade. You need to look out for trades charges and for lot charges. So, one lot is one share. Three lots is three shares. And typically, if you buy a group of shares, for example, say you buy ten at once, you will be charged ten times for the lot charge, and once for the trade charge. So, look at the different brokers. Some of them have very low lot charges, or none at all. Some of them have low trade charges or none at all.
Some demand that you buy or sell a minimum number of shares at a time, or they demand that you do a trade of a certain size. So look at the restrictions, look at the ways in which you're spending more money, distinguished between these different companies. And then, of course, just as with any investment, you should consider why you want to invest. What purposes you have, long term, short term. Look at the profiles of the different companies. Do you want to day trade, which means closing your position each night. Do you want to have positions that last one or two weeks, or are you very much looking to buy and hold for long term investments. All this is just the same as any other kind of investing. Another thing to look for when you're judging online trading, is what kind of platform the broker has. Platform is usually a screen that opens up, or window that opens up on your computer screen, and some are harder to use than others. And you need to check some out. Some will be confusing, some will be more intuitive, it's a good idea as well if they have a good charting package so that you can see where the prices are going and easily understand things.
Another thing to do before you get into this actively is to paper trade, which means do some imaginary trades, but do them rigorously. So, if you think, "Oh, I would've bought then," write down then what you would've bought, how many, and actually watch during the day. Did you lose imaginary money, or did you make imaginary money? If you can be self-disciplined, and keep track of all that, then you should be able to find that you can trade and invest online successfully.
So be careful, do your research. Good luck. .

Stock Market Investing Tips : Online Stock Trading Tips
Stock Market Investing Tips : Online Stock Trading Tips
Mark Griffith, and this is a short introduction into trading stocks online. Buying and selling shares online is something that naturally you need to do through some kind of online portal, some of which are brokers. Some of which give direct access to shares traded in other ways. The important thing to consider is your own strategy. Why you're doing it. What kind of periods you'll plan to hold the shares for. How quickly you're going to sell them or buy them. Your own strategy, in other words, and the technicalities of what the brokerage offers you. For example, are you paying minimum trade fees? Are you paying fees that vary by how many lots you trade, which means how many shares at a time? Are there other restrictions on what you're doing? Once you're clear, what the deal is that you...that you're with, once you've compared a few people with whom you can trade online, and once you've decided what your own goals are, what your own strategy is, then you should go ahead.
Always start small. Always be careful. Try to watch friends doing this if you can, and always start with some paper trading. The idea of paper trading is that you decide, "Oh, I would make a trade now", and rather than just vaguely imagining it, you write it down. And you actually rigorously keep to this, and you then decide ten minutes later, five minutes later, twenty minutes later, whether you would then close out your position or not.
And you'd write down your profits and loss, your paper profits and loss, your imaginary profits and loss. It's very important to be disciplined about this, because it's easy to fool yourself. It's easy to persuade yourself, "Oh, I would've bought there and sold there and I would have made a profit." So, be disciplined, be careful, because it's very easy to lie to yourself, and when you start trading with actual money, your money, you'll start to feel the same panicky emotions that everybody else feels, and you'll find that your judgment's affected. So, always paper trade, always start small. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and learn as much as you can, both about general strategies, and about the terms that you're doing it on. Also if you're actually trading stocks and shares online, it's good to get some good charting, and different platforms, different online brokerages.
A platform is....is like a window that opens where you actually execute the trades over the internet. Different platforms offer, some of them very good charts, some of them not so good. So decide what you're comfortable with before you actually dive in. And then, once you dive in and you've actually got your money in the account, carry on being careful because there's plenty to learn. There's plenty to learn.
It's a craft, like anything else, and your own emotions are a very big part of the picture, so if you feel panicky, or if you feel nervous, or if you find that you're overreacting, maybe this is not something that you should be doing. Anyway, best of luck, be careful, and do as well as you can. .

Stock Market Investing Tips : Learning How to Trade Stocks
Stock Market Investing Tips : Learning How to Trade Stocks
For Mark Griffith. This is going to be brief introduction into how to learn how to trade stocks or shares. And this is a good idea before you begin to actually trade them because it can be dangerous and you could lose lots of money. So, there are lots of courses available. Some online. Some attached to a local college near you. Some actually through brokerages available through brokerages or through banks. And the first thing you want to do is shop around for these courses. Its a very valuable investment of your time and effort because there's nothing quite like seeing some trading happening, talking to traders, finding out how things can go wrong and how they can go right before you start doing this with your own time and your own money.
When you're checking these courses one of the most important things to do is to check your instructor. The instructor on the course; have they had a background in finance, how much do they know about finance, are they traders themselves. This is the interesting part; check the background of the instructor. You might even want to try and meet the person before you begin the course if its a course in your area if you're taking, for example, evening classes. The second thing is how many visual aids are there.
Is this something you want to think about. Graphs, diagrams, these are very, very useful. And you're going to need to get used to reading graphs. A lot of financial information comes in graph form. And they're not all simple bar charts for example do you know what a candle stick chart looks like. So you need to get used to those and in order to get used to those you need to have them on your course. So try to find out how much visual information there is. Visual and numeric information in the form of graphs and charts.
That's very, very useful to get used to. And the third thing you need to do when you're deciding on where the course is going to be or what kind of course you're going to do, the third thing you need to do is check if they have any live trading. Is there going to be a lesson perhaps toward the end of the course or one or two lessons where you trade live and you see, a little bit more what its really like.
What the unexpected events can be like. How the trading strategies work out not just on the blackboard or the white board. Not just in the power point presentation but actually in real time on a computer screen in the classroom. If at live trading, if you trust your instructor and if there's lots of visual information then you're on to a good thing. Try to get that course. Get on it. Spend some time do it properly and you're much, much better prepared to begin trading in the real world with real money, yours. Good luck.

The instructor on the course; have they had a background in finance, how much do they know about finance, are they traders themselves. This is the interesting part; check the background of the instructor. You might even want to try and meet the person before you begin the course if its a course in your area if you're taking, for example, evening classes. The second thing is how many visual aids are there.
Is this something you want to think about. Graphs, diagrams, these are very, very useful. And you're going to need to get used to reading graphs. A lot of financial information comes in graph form. And they're not all simple bar charts for example do you know what a candle stick chart looks like. So you need to get used to those and in order to get used to those you need to have them on your course. So try to find out how much visual information there is. Visual and numeric information in the form of graphs and charts.
That's very, very useful to get used to. And the third thing you need to do when you're deciding on where the course is going to be or what kind of course you're going to do, the third thing you need to do is check if they have any live trading. Is there going to be a lesson perhaps toward the end of the course or one or two lessons where you trade live and you see, a little bit more what its really like.
What the unexpected events can be like. How the trading strategies work out not just on the blackboard or the white board. Not just in the power point presentation but actually in real time on a computer screen in the classroom. If at live trading, if you trust your instructor and if there's lots of visual information then you're on to a good thing. Try to get that course. Get on it. Spend some time do it properly and you're much, much better prepared to begin trading in the real world with real money, yours. Good luck.
