[@workwithnature]

great explanation. So basically the counter party risk regarding derivatives are that underlying assets can be worth a lot less at a later date.

[@nikon800]

That's not counter party risk. If somehow when the time comes and the seller of the future/forward cannot deliver the product, that is counter party risk.

finally found a true comment, instead of attention seeking dandies, in a vain effort of trying to spark off wit and sarcasm .

[@sargedessy]

@Ben Dreis Derivatives are supposed to give people a way to hedge against fluctuations of prices. For eg; the turkey may cost less than $15 in the future, and the forward contract they agreed upon would benefit the farmer, while Terry secures the turkeys for thanksgiving. Of course, using an options contract in this case would benefit Terry more, since he may choose not to accept the delivery of the turkey in the future if supply is plentiful and prices of turkey in the markets are below $15; in which case he forfeits the $50 he paid for the option and purchase the turkey from the market instead. Although useful as a tool for risk management, it can be used for speculation as well. Why the need for complication? Such contracts exists since the birth of capitalism, and many businesses are able to benefit from it. For example, if you run a restaurant, you would usually place orders for your inventory in advance at a slated price. This is similar to a forward contract. The only difference is that people discovered they can strike gold by gambling with these contracts.

University is nice if you want structure and to be spoon-fed, but not at US prices. UK is borderline, getting shittier by the year (in terms of quality and in terms of the tuition hike that happened about a decade back). Germany is nice to leech in term of value and they'll happily bend over and subvention you with their insane taxes. US college is borderline fraud, I wouldn't even consider it.

[@samreagan6292]

70,000x undervalued

[@samreagan6292]

@Harry Lagom Quickly, think about a prison economy. Cigarettes, snacks, com money, time. Their is a value to everything in prison that is scarce and people are not using gold to facilitate those transactions. Golds value is historic, because historically you can't make something scarce, someone will find a way to make a forgery or it ends up not really a scarce thing. The things that have value to different people are based strictly on their scarcity. and if nothing else was scarce: US dollars, Euros, Yuan, Bitcoin. If they ALL lost their scarcity, then yes I believe that Gold would be 700,000 times it's current value; because of it's incredible scarcity globally. But that's not going to happen unless we get another Carrington event, so I would not worry about it. Even if we had such an event look at the prison economy; would we be trading gold coins or would we be trading food and weapons? The ultra elite of a new world order would work with gold, we would not.

This is very clear thank you. Question: is a normal purchase also a technically a derivative - I give you £1 and you write a note promising to give me a turkey, not in a year, but right now, not very useful but is it still a derivative? Is a loan a derivative - I give you £1, you promise to give me £1.50, in a year's time?

[@benzonabendo1301]

Does anyone know what is the managerial discipling theory of hostile takeovers? thanks

[@ryanlynch290]

In this example, how would the option be a hedge against the $300 loss? If Farmer Bailey can't produce the turkeys or absconds, Terry is still out $300. He's spent $50 on the option, but still has to pay $350 to Farmer Jones. So he's lost $350, in this example. Is some detail missing?

[@robd.153]

Just spitballing… but I think Terry loses his “$50” option if he doesn’t exercise it (if he doesn’t spend a second $300 to get Turkeys from Jones). As far as Bailey goes… Terry has to file a lawsuit against Bailey for breach of contract and $300 in damages … and if Bailey is out of business, he is likely in line with many other creditors and may only collection 10 cents of every dollar in bankruptcy situation (if that!).

@kajtova yes. he paid 50 bucks for the option to buy 20 turkeys at 15 dollars before november 23. To execute the option he pays 20*15= 300 dollars and will receive 20 turkeys in return. Do realize that the contract for 300 dollars to Bailey's farm, was a futures contract. The difference between the options and futures contract is that buyer has already paid for the turkeys. In the options contract the buyer, has the option to buy the turkeys.

It appears that problems can also include a person that sells many contracts for the same underlying commodity- just as often happens with gold backed currency or gold certificates for gold that does not exist.

[@nicolasbouyiouclis4726]

Very good and simple explanation! Thanks bod...

[@bdawg56kg]

The thing is you have to pay a premium for the option. Say a stock is trading at $50. Clearly an option to purchase the stock (call option) at $45 will have a higher premium than an option with strike price $60. So if you pay $3 for a $45 call, and the stock is at $46 at the expiration date, you would exercise the option, but stil lose $2. Options are basically used either to hedge risk or to speculate. The speculation part can be potentially dangerous, especially when bought on margin.

[@robd.153]

Question: If Mr Bailey’s farm goes out of business and Terry is stuck with a contract that cost him $300 (20 turkeys @ $15 = $300)…. does Terry “generally” have any viable recourse like getting a judgment/lien against Bailey Farms (I.E. the farm land & turkey farm houses etc. ect)? I’m presuming Terry can sue Bailey Farms but the expense of bringing suit doesn’t mean there is collection… So I guess my question is how “collateralized” are Derivative contracts in general for the person, in this case Terry putting up the $300.00? Awesome - video, great illustration

[@remidanvin4057]

Great clear explanation as usual

[@1220MrCool]

Question: At 3:49, what do you mean by "hedge" the contract? Are you saying Terry is choosing to pay an additional $50 to Mr. Jones to ensure that the outcome of interest (or the underlying asset which is having 20 turkeys) will in fact occur? That is, he is reducing (or in this case, eliminating) the risk of not having the turkeys prior to Thanksigiving because he will get it from Mr. Bailey (without certainty) or from Mr. Jones (with certainty and additional cost of $50)? That is the way I am understanding this term. Is there something I misconnecting?

[@zachb1706]

A hedge protects against certain risks of your position. A common form of “hedge” is insurance. Taking out car insurance hedges against the risk of losing your car. You’ve probably heard of hedge funds, they are a specific type of mutual fund that tries to hedge against a form of risk, often risks associated with the market as a whole. A good hedge fund will stay stable or even grow while the market as a whole declines.

[@fajriahmad4747]

Hello Mr Hirsch, I have a question: you stated that, when trading the contract, people aren't interested on what's underlying it. Yet, isn't it what's underlying it that actually set the value of the contract? Say if there was a bird flu disease, something that, in the village Mr. Bailey lives, never had experienced in 30 years. Suddenly everyone thinks it was a certainty that Mr. Bailey could not deliver all 30 turkeys at all (either the turkeys are sick or put to death) why would anyone trade a contract if what's underlying it was next to nonexistent?
