The First Type Of Dirivities are Futures ( you have publically traded futures and private traded ones also ) – Futures are people entering into contracts on the value of security for a predetermined price and also date ( this is an obligation, not an option ) – So keep in mind this is in a big way a lot of speculation going on here Results: – The Farmer agreed to sell him the Pigs for $100( price ) next year ( time) – Next year comes by: Pig prices have skyrocketed to $500 per pig ( now the investor made a lot of money and the farmer was obligated to sell it at $100) – But in a different timeline, Pig Flue went crazy and the investor was forced to buy them for $100 when they were only selling for $10 Tip: obviously this is speculation – and the investor could have sold it before it got to low to someone else with hopes How this works in the stock Market: Commodities, currencies, and crypto ( profit ) – Now I strongly believe that in 1-year bitcoin will be at $100k – So I buy a futures contract today for a premium and pay $51k ( or whatever the price is when you are watching this video ) – In one year the price is $100k and I just 49k in profit ( but if it goes down to 0 then I lost all my money ) And you can also Short Futures: – When you think the price is going to go down – You can buy today and sell instantly and rebuy at the agreed time hopefully for a discount Tip: the problem with this in the stock market – You have unlimited profit potential and an unlimited risk potential also (it’s crazy) – Crazy leverage – Crazy gambling – Crazy speculation – But everyone thinks they are expert 2. Another type of Derivatives Are Options – Now these are not the obligation to buy or sell but options to ( futures and forward contracts are though ) – These are contracts that just give you the right to sell or Buy – But they do have an expiration date Quick Definitions: – Call options allow you to buy the assets – Put options allow you to sell the assets Here is a simple example: – I work for Apple and they paid me with Call options – Meaning I have the right to buy the asset at a certain price – The option says I have the right to buy it at $100 per share and now the stock is at $200, well I just doubled my money Or for example Put options: – I have the right to sell the stock at certain prices – The options says I can sell it at $100 – And the price went down to $50 ( none of my business I’m going to cash out ) Tip: – However in real life, options are usually issues out for 30 days and then they expire – And they also have premiums you have to pay to own the contracts – So it’s a lot of speculation going on in this game. 3. Swaps (OTC) – Exchanging one security for another but it can also be payments, cash flow, loans, and a lot more other things. Simple Example: ( Loan ) – My business partner took out a variable rate loan and is getting worried because the amount he pays every month is changing (( but if profits are going down because of the pandemic) – SO we enter into a contract where we will swap. I will pay the variable loan and he will pay me a fixed amount of money – Why because if rates go down I make money and rates go up he saves money Finance Example: Credit Default Swap – Bond issuers, bond buyers, and Credit Sqap Default insurance – Giving away some of your interest to guarantee your capital in case things go wrong * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING ????Merch???? https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ ????M1 FINANCE $10????
