The Plain Bagel I enjoyed this. Also, I wanted to ask you, can you do a video on stock buybacks and how that affects share prices and how corporate boards are incentivized to do this than invest in infrastructure. It was illegal for a while till the 80s. You’ll probably have to go back a while, to the last depression.
@@tekziotonzi3248 futures are real world REAL USE things in the markets of the PHYSICAL goods. My dad knew a farmer who lived near us, HUGE acres and he would buy futures contracts for his grain to lock in his prices so he knew exactly what his profits would be and had worked out his expenses in advance, often fertiliser and diesel. If his yield wasn't great, he'd buy some off another on if the local farmers to get the exact right tonnage.
As a starting, the best advice I can offer is to conduct due diligence on each and every trading system, platform, educational course, account manager, and brokerage firm you are considering. And I'd recommend Yuril Zubong and the SQB AMAC strategy for anyone who is still trying to find an edge in the market. If you are still losing money then you need this strategy
Incredible, thanks for the video. Been a sub for some time and I really appreciate your videos. It's really difficult to find a good quality video with an explanation coming form someone that knows his stuff. Thanks dude.
First time I listened to a vid on futures felt like I was watching a bit of Greek mixed with English. Wanted to cry. Let's see now. Just watched, hallelujah! I now understand futures! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not both? I'm a finance major with a computer science minor and I love it, especially knowing that both things can work together so well in the real world.
Richard, thank you for your hard work and educational content that you provide. This channel is the only "Plain Bagel" I've come across so far and your narration style as well as information is invaluable. Your channel can be easily compared to TheFutur (business of design), Like Stories of Old (philosophy), or PiXimperfect (photoshop) by the depth of your content. Should you care about the overhyped useless channels like Tai Lopez's one, please, focus on what you do best and you'll beat them easily. Like you said, investors can't wait for 10 years to ripe the fruits and quit holding their assets for 4 years only. Keep it up!
Love this. Short and easy to follow. When explained this way it expands your knowledge further more easily. 🙏 I am an OAP woman getting to grips with this 😂
You can have a spot price for a given point in the future, which is what implied volatility dictates at a given period in time, correct? Does it work for commodities and bonds the exact same?
Here's something I don't understand about futures that I hope somebody can answer me. When stocks are bought and sold, every share that is bought comes out of the account of the seller and goes to the account of the buyer. But in the futures market, for every contract that is bought there must be a corresponding seller, and both long and short positions must be held either until the contract expires, or until both sides net out their positions. This means that in every big market move (where due to leverage "big" could be only 1% on the underlying) there is of necessity the fact that half the contracts in the market are losers. And these losses can be spread out a bit by the losers netting their transactions during the move, but this only shifts part of the losses to somebody else. Who is willingly taking these positions? In some markets like commodities there are producers and consumers of the underlying which imply some natural supply and demand, but in something like index futures why does it seem there is an inexhaustible supply of traders willing to take a loss? Are there really a lot of people constantly hedging their portfolios? Are new futures traders starting out as fast as existing unlucky ones are getting washed out of the market? Are there market makers who can somehow effectively arbitrage between the spot market and the futures market so as to effectively provide liquidity to either side of the transaction without delta risk even when it would seem that a simple buyer or seller would be losing money? Is there some other explanation?
If you've ever traded futures on a volatile day, or during periods of low volume, you may have encouraged "slippage", where your entry or exit actually slips past your target price. This is because for you to sell a contract, someone has to be willing to buy it, and if there isn't enough buying volume at your sell price, it will slip past it until a buyer is found. Your order can also be rejected if it cannot be filled. As for why someone would be willing to buy on a downtrend or sell during a pump: Everyone wants to buy the dip, and no one can perfectly time the exact bottom (or top) of a move. And for the most part, if you have the margin required to survive drawdown, such as a hedge fund, you can wait it out and exit in profit eventually. That being said, there absolutely are days where price runs away; Tuesday and Wednesday this week when Powell talked to Senate committees, just before the broadcast started there were huge sell offs on the ES with very little resistance from buyers to slow it down. No one wants to jump in front of a moving train. Trying to find a buyer during that move would have likely resulted in massive slippage, though in this case that would have been beneficial to someone who shorted.
The fact that futures deal with prices in the future that nobody is 100 percent sure because of a lot of elements driving a price of an asset is in itself a risk already, adding a component of being able to lever a future position makes one party be tempted to borrow that money so he or she can magnify the gain he or she is hoping to get and when things don't happen to wat hey expect, it also magnifies their losses on their equity or margin. If you put your fate on Future + Leverage you are pretty much risking it all
Bagel many thanks. Two requests can you cover 1) how to trade Futures perhaps using a live/demo trade and 2) cover LEAPS how to trade those also, are they accessible to retail traders and if so on comparable terms to professional traders etc... Thanks Mr Bagel!
Hi there, many people these days are analyzing like about the economy, in stock market, their own future, other peoples minds. Expecting that their analyzed will happen. Many it turned out didn’t happen.
nice video! Could you do a video explaining how certain types of risks, like an executive involved in a scandal or a company doing something stupid, can affect a stock's price? I know you went over it in 'Understanding Investment Uncertainty', but it was brief. I want to know why certain things (that aren't so obvious) drives the stock price up or down. Thanks!
It's called tail risk. When a black swan event happens, it increases the implied volatility of the stock. This increased volatility drives wide swings in both directions.
Thanks for the video! I have the following question, could you give me an example for a deal on the commodity market in the future and one for the spot market?
Thank you so much for this amazing video! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Sophisticated form of gambling masquerading as economics for a lamean such as me.
Should've done a Ron Burgundy when you had the tickers on screen.

SangoProductions213 bingo buddy 👍
Or sell
@@user-ss6pf8ld2l ...That's implied by the word buy. You can't really buy something that isn't being sold.
SangoProductions213 that makes sense
Thanks, this helped me understand better.
This dude deserves so much more attention on TH-cam. I've been subbed for along time. And his videos always bring value. And it's free!

Well he's at 217k now, doubled them. Hope you went long.
I've heard of the Swedish invester.
I used to watch Graham but I think he was only talking his opinions. No value.
I found this guy and his stuff is informative.
I’m drunk. He sounds smart. Gonna short gold tomorrow right?
lmfaoooo I hope you didn't end up doing that xD
Well he's drunk so probably can't remember or maybe went long for gold lol
@Joshua Lister I'll pay you for the price you shorted lol
@Joshua Lister geez didn't know your grandmother was the queen lol
I rarely comment on videos, but this guy has explained it very well that I will make an exception here. You deserve more recognition and subscribers.
After reading multiple articles and getting lost in the jargon, thanks for having this make sense in as simple and concise a way as possible.
Futures are something I wasted.
Am sad now.
You still have present. Don't squander that
Still sad or did you recover?
@@Lizini I didn't recover, I just learned to live with it - kinda like how my generation is coping with the world we're getting.
Incredible, thanks for the video. Been a sub for some time and I really appreciate your videos. It's really difficult to find a good quality video with an explanation coming form someone that knows his stuff. Thanks dude.
Always love seeing a plain bagel video pop up in my feed.
9:05 "Hit the bell icon if you want notifications about future videos" ... lol
Free investment
Can you cover Mini Futures, Turbo Warrants, Tracker and Leverage Certificates
Omg yes
First time I listened to a vid on futures felt like I was watching a bit of Greek mixed with English. Wanted to cry. Let's see now.
Just watched, hallelujah! I now understand futures! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man, got an exam on the topic tomorrow you Saved me an hour
Helpful, thanks. Don't think I've seen anyone tackle futures on TH-cam :)
Your videos are amazing, you know how to teach with just enough detail but not making it simplistic.
This video is packed with valuable information! The explanation at [7:15] about managing risk is spot on. Looking forward to more content like this!
Reading books about Futures and having a headache already coz I can't understand. Now you explained it in just 10 minutes. Amazing! Thank you!
Another great explanation video from my favourite business channel
Impresive! I am preparing for the CFA Level 3 exam and this video just helped me put a lot of stuff into perspective.
Because of you I am learning and loving finances so much! I will probably study finances instead of computer science in university!
Study both
Fintech dudes make bank, do both.
k Koko study mathematics, take all statistics and optimization courses, then make a master in financial engineering or mathematical finance
Why not both? I'm a finance major with a computer science minor and I love it, especially knowing that both things can work together so well in the real world.

now i finally know how the one guy in squid game got reallly broke really fast
Thanks for making this video. I work doing oil hedging using futures on a daily basis so it's cool to see you guys cover what I do.
you sir should definitely open a channel with deep explanations of these concepts :0
I just happened to be drinking orange juice while watching this.
Excellent. I have an inside tip that owing to a poor harvest the frozen concentrated orange market is going to fly.
I like how this lad coordinated his glasses, shirt, and pants.

I have a hundred questions after this
Love your channel :)
Great video. Would you also explain what is macroprudential policy tools in your future videos. Thanks.
Very well explained👍🏻
keep up the good work nd keep making these informative videos....appreciate it mate :)
Do a video on the complicated stuff, with formulas. "Could fill a video on its own" so ...make it plz?
Conan is good at this, too!
Great presentation, as always, Richard! :)

So futures essentially is a speculation, gamble. Not to be confused with investing.
Do you need to know the finer details on a futures contract before you bid on it?
"subscribe for future videos"
*me, an intellectual* : I thought this was the future video
Interesting topic and thanks for sharing this!👍
So basically something like options for commodities?
I promise to look up the definition of Futures in a year’s time, when I’ve forgotten how they work, yet again.
Futures are for insiders to trade after hours the exchanges are closed
Thanks for the video! I have the following question, could you give me an example for a deal on the commodity market in the future and one for the spot market?
Sounds like the same as options with stocks
Thank you so much for this amazing video! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
