to the part where you say futures speculation is a zero sum game.. technically you’re right but that doesn’t mean the person or institution on the other side of your trade is your competition and that therefore you should be assuaged from competing against them. Because the other side of the trade is also the hedgers! They are seeking to offset risk on a speculator, without regard on where that price might go, only that it stabilizes their profit margin for their own business enterprise.. like you said, they purposefully enter this trade to cap off their losses knowing that it also caps off their gains, and those gains they cap off are shifted over to the speculator (which is the “loss” you speak of on the other side of a winning speculator)! That’s not half the people in futures trading losing, that’s everyone winning because the hedgers make money off their ability to plan from stable commodities prices to build their enterprise while the speculator makes money on the prices moving according to how they predicted. Of course a speculator can be wrong, but that’s not due to any competition he is in with the hedger.

In 2024, I am taking finance classes. Today is my third day practicing with the calculator, and I didn't understand anything. I watched three one-hour videos and still didn't understand. Thank God I found this video; it helped me a lot in just 30 minutes. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Blessings!!

i dont understand why we are calculating it as semi anuually?can anyone help me please?

@kevinbracker 3 ай бұрын

Bond's pay interest semi-annually, so we are adjusting for that. For example, a 10-year 6% coupon bond will pay $30 every 6 months. Therefore, to get the correct answer, you need to adjust the calculator to semi-annual (2 P/Y) and the number of periods to 20 (which at 2 P/Y is 10 years). The coupon then becomes $30. It doesn't make much difference, but will typically change the answer a little bit.

Hi, Really loved this. Thanks. I want to calculate the options price on a future date, well before the expiry date. Say, I have purchased an option, which will expire on June 27, 2024. I want to calculate its price on May 30, 2024. Could you please help? If you can upload a video, it will be even better. Thanks.

@kevinbracker 10 ай бұрын

The book should still be available, but I don't know if it is downloadable (it's better in the online format due to embedded youtube videos, etc. anyway). You can find it here -- pressbooks.pub/businessfinanceessentials/. Pressbooks changed their terms right as I retired and it would cost more to make it available to download (it was free and now it would be $400 per year). You can download a copy from here -- digitalcommons.pittstate.edu/oer-business/1/ (Click on download)

It is unclear where does the volatility comes from. I believe it is calculated from the market value of the option contract.

@kevinbracker 10 ай бұрын

Volatility refers to the volatility of the underlying stock (or other asset) that the option is based on. For example, if I was buying a call option on TSLA, it would be the volatility of Tesla that I would use. The key though is that it is based on implied volatility (which may be very different than past volatility). There are multiple reasons (including earnings announcements between the time the option is purchased and expires) where implied volatility is your "best guess" as to what the actual volatility will be. That said, it is often close to what it has been over the past few weeks.
