Futures Market Explained

Farmers use various tools to control the many risks in agriculture. Watching the weather influences when they plant or harvest. Buying crop insurance and selecting farm bill safety net programs helps protect them from crop devastation. But they can also manage some of the threat posed by volatile market prices by participating in the futures market. Farmers can get a feel for how that works if they play Commodity Classic, an online teaching tool that uses fictitious bushels of grain in a fake futures market.
But here at Harvest Public Media, we wanted to better understand how the futures market helps both producers and users of a major commodity, such as corn. And how the benefits trickle down to regular food consumers. Here’s what we learned.

[@confluenceinfinance8881]

This is how finance should be explained. Like to a child, and then that child goes and explores the subject because now the basic understanding is strong, making it easier to understand the complexity of it all.

[@chawgreens]

I learn finance, stock, crypto, trading and investing... and found the best explanation about futures market in a agriculture youtube channel hahaha,,, that's funny, ironic, but that's a good thing to found this!

[@ziggytonumaa]

but i still don't understand. she has corn + futures contract. price goes up, she sells her regular corn, because she makes more profit price goes down, she uses futures contract, because this protects her from selling at a loss but what happens with the futures contract when price goes up? she just holds on to it? maybe a "toddler" version would help me understand....

[@yorionenthusiast170]

And then gambles it all on calls and options.

[@regulareverydayhalfbirdguy]

@@ziggytonumaa Futures contracts have a specific delivery date. They are a contractual _obligation_ to sell or buy at the agreed-upon price. When the time comes, she _has_ to sell her corn at that price, and the cereal company _has_ to buy it - regardless of what the current market price of corn is at the time. This is the whole point of futures: to hedge against unpredictable and unfavorable moves in market price, by locking down a price for a delivery date ahead of time.

[@MHKhan]

What happens if the sellers production did not meet the quantity specified in the contract?

[@kd-bv4my]

Amazing , I should sign this contract with my gf.. She can't leave me when my value goes down.. Amazing 😅

[@remzimericceylan6812]

This is called marriage... If there would be no marriage, you would leave her easier when you don't like her

Just wonderful, I've been looking for "most successful options traders" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Winoorfa Option Olegroson - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got cool results with it.

THIS VIDEO DESERVES MORE THAN A MILLION VIEWS FOR THE CLARITY AND FOR THE EFFORTS THAT WENT INTO IT. SUBBED.

[@asmafiver6422]

Can I just say, I love who ever created this! Like holy heck, this is the way finance needs to be explained. Break it down, don't complicate, be mindful the users ay not be hip to industry jargon. I love it. Wish you could make more videos.

[@boredonatuesday8793]

Totally agreed. This was great

[@Thyago2420]

Congrats on your growth, I started trading in January on a 10 k account which has grown to 48 k, the broker I use offers Ai and bots for trading which I took advantage of by contacting their live support. I have been taking advantage of it so far. Your channel is also an inspiration

[@riviera9383]

Wow, that's good What broker do you use and how much is the minimum I can start with

[@Thyago2420]

Pathstonesecurities I think with as low as 200 you can get started but I advice higher capital for proper trades

[@finny_]

Nice, I think this is a safer way for people like me who rarely trust other people to trade for them, thanks for sharing I will opt for bots

[@riviera9383]

Thank you, I looked them up, registered and just funded my account so I will start trading after Easter

[@olivia4182]

Amazing to see someone else talking about this broker, I have been trading with them for 2 years plus and I even introduced most of my friends and close ones to it

[@nsbalaji2012]

i was thinking why would a person risk of sticking with only one price when he can be ultimately facing huge losses. after this video i understood how this really works . This was absolutely brilliant

[@jackieonate3439]

so easy to understand , sometime is easier to understand than a sophisticate college lecture. thank you.

[@tommili4970]

futures are standardized and exchange traded contracts, what you explained in your video is a forward contract

[@lkhjb8y]

Excellent video. I also enjoyed the attention to detail, like when the farmer got upset the moment low corn prices was bought up @0:51

[@myle6749]

Six years later I've finally found this video. I love it with all my ❤. Thank you.

[@KoalaTacticalMilsim]

just started college and this was one of the first things in my text book and i got lost really quick. This video REALLY helped me understand what was going on. Thanks!!!

[@janvdam]

Thnx for making me understand this. Great video!

[@TraeBaldwin]

This was both really adorable and incredibly helpful for helping me understand Futures. I thought it was to maximize profit but I now understand that is a risk management tool for both parties

[@joerobert1801]

I think it is important to spread funds in channels that are poised to do well in recession. I'm currently finishing my 6th duplex and retired from the rat race at 35 and what funded all these were strategic investing in stocks and consistent trading crypto. I'm exceptionally well positioned for what's to come because my portfolio is solid enough to withstand and outperform irrespective of the market trends.

[@rahultoggi4672]

Way to go buddy! The only people who are going to make great impact in their investment portfolio are those who see the 2022 recession as the biggest opportunity to get rich.

[@joerobert1801]

Gregg plot your course bud, I am personally invested 80% in stocks, 20% in crypto and of course with the guidance of my investment coach Frost Hilda, this yields an annual return of $400k. Frost focus on leading stocks in top industry groups, and aim for stocks with strong institutional support. He plots good entry point and has greatly enhanced my earnings and portfolio performance over the years.

[@seanroger6954]

I guess the market doesn't look bad, Its me who just don't see the opportunity it's providing right nOw.

[@joerobert1801]

Follow my lead ma'am, using a coach with extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field on. I advise researching his credentials further for his business memos. he has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial markets.

[@geraldbenzinger9703]

Market action has been challenging so far since 2022, milking the market for massive gains is no easy feat. I'm taking advantage of small price moves, it can be a lucrative game if played correctly.

[@mohamedalibouchhioua9734]

I can't believe that I'm able to understand futures. Thank you very much for this amazing video.

[@user-uj6oi6bg9z]

[@suhasm3544]

wow..!! Amazing explanation. saves a lot of time reading texts.

[@CheeseMan1391]

Soo much better then I guy with a whiteboard

[@rezivillehulgado2497]

This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "price trends" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piyatthew Forexify Trends - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my colleague got great success with it.

[@gwho]

uh, no? this video just says "contract. there for profit" The whiteboard video actually explains the steps and terminology. A good video needs to show each step when a price changes. And it needs to explain how a contract is sold or bought to a third party without the other end of the contract changing. Talking really slow, and empahsizing words like "BUY", and "CORN" and pretty pictures don't actually explain the underlying concept. The biggest confusion can be that the buying and selling of the underlying asset is separate from buying and selling the contract. And the contract has two sides, a buyer and seller of the asset. Also, while when a futures contract is sold, simply saying a contract is sold is incomplete. It needs to be specified whether the buying side or the selling side of the contract is sold. Both sides of the contract aren't sold. If you want to learn the actual inner workings of how things work, instead of just thinking you understand something when all you know is the concept at a superficial level (and thus won't be able to explain it properly yourself), watch the "whiteboard" video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKi1ZpVsepWLpZY

The people teaching finance want to teach it in ambiguous manner to allow them to hold the secrets. Many of the “sophisticated schemes” on Wall Street are not sophisticated at all. It’s just a different vocabulary and built in hurdle to keep others from truly understanding what is going on. Great video
