Download or read book The Futures written by Emily Lambert and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Futures, Emily Lambert, senior writer at Forbes magazine, tells us the rich and dramatic history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, which together comprised the original, most bustling futures market in the world. She details the emergence of the futures business as a kind of meeting place for gamblers and farmers and its subsequent transformation into a sophisticated electronic market where contracts are traded at lightning-fast speeds. Lambert also details the disastrous effects of Wall Street's adoption of the futures contract without the rules and close-knit social bonds that had made trading it in Chicago work so well. Ultimately Lambert argues that the futures markets are the real ''free'' markets and that speculators, far from being mere parasites, can serve a vital economic and social function given the right architecture. The traditional futures market, she explains, because of its written and cultural limits, can serve as a useful example for how markets ought to work and become a tonic for our current financial ills.

Book excerpt: In The Futures, Forbes magazine senior writer Emily Lambert tells the rich and dramatic history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, the original futures market. Commodities exchanges have become some of the largest financial markets in our global economic system, yet the exchanges themselves and the speculators who run them remain largely misunderstood, as does their chief instrument: the futures contract. Lambert describes the emergence of the futures business as a kind of meeting place for gamblers and farmers that subsequently transformed into a sophisticated electronic market, one where contracts are traded at lightning-fast speeds. When Wall Street adopted the futures contract without the rules and close-knit social bonds that had made trading it in Chicago work so well, however, the effects were disastrous. But, as Lambert argues, the traditional futures market—with its written and cultural limits—can serve as a useful example of how markets ought to work, thereby becoming a tonic for our current financial ills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1972, this book provides an important critical review on the theory of futures trading. B. A. Goss looks at the work and ideas of Keynes and Hicks on futures, and considers how these have also been developed by Kaldor. He discusses the evolution of the concept of hedging in the context of buying forward into the markets, and considers theories of market and individual equilibrium. Goss draws on the work of other economists in this field, including Stein, Telser, Peston and L. L. Johnson, in order to illustrate the development of theory in futures trading. The book includes fifteen figures that illustrate diagrammatically the concepts involved, and the concluding section contains a series of problems for examination by the student.

Download or read book Trading the International Futures Markets written by Jacob Bernstein and published by Prentice Hall Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these days of global economic upheaval, traders are constantly searching for ways to hedge risk and generate profits from volatile price swings. Savvy insiders have found the answer: futures markets in Europe and Asia. Free of often stifling U.S. regulations, the international futures markets are attracting the attention of top institutional traders as well as the general trading public. Prominent futures trader, Jake Bernstein, skillfully guides serious traders through the maze of trading these burgeoning markets. Beginning with a brief unorthodox history of futures trading, Bernstein reveals why the most mercenary traders thrive and how the European futures markets evolved to their current dynamism. He then focuses on what is traded, where and how, highlighting "up and coming" markets. Backed by detailed charts and graphs, he takes traders through the fundamentals of "traditional" technical analysis, then on to a variety of trading systems, all designed to capture the essence of growing market volatility. He explores questions commonly echoed by traders, including: How can U.S. traders effectively deal with time differences? How do currency rate changes impact trading? Is it realistic for U.S. traders to day-trade the international market? What are the benefits? Trading the International Futures Market gives speculators, traders, and investors powerful tools to help them reclaim the all-important and coveted trading "edge".

Part 1 of the booklet offers a simplified analysis of some of the elementary economics of transactions involving time. Part 2 analyzes the nature of futures and options markets, and discusses the reasons for their existence, their evolution, and some of the basics involved in their operations. Part 3 is an account of the entities subject to futures and options trading, such as commodities, bonds, shares of corporations, and foreign exchange, and describes the most prominent features of the futures and options markets related to such entities. Finally, Part 4 discusses the social usefulness of futures markets, a few of the common criticisms, and the role of government regulation. (IS)
