Overview
Futures
Futures are derivative financial contracts that obligate the parties to transact an asset at a predetermined future date and price. Here, the buyer must purchase or the seller must sell the underlying asset at the set price, regardless of the current market price at the expiration date.
Underlying assets include physical commodities or other financial instruments. Futures contracts detail the quantity of the underlying asset and are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Futures can be used for hedging or trade speculation.
Futures are financial contracts obligating the buyer to purchase an asset or the seller to sell an asset and have a predetermined future date and price.
A futures contract allows an investor to speculate on the direction of a security, commodity, or a financial instrument.
Futures are used to hedge the price movement of the underlying asset to help prevent losses from unfavorable price changes.
Forex
Forex is the marketplace where various currencies are traded. The forex market is the largest, most liquid market in the world, with trillions of dollars changing hands every day. There is no centralized location, rather the forex market is an electronic network of banks, brokers, institutions, and individual traders.
The forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week, except for holidays. Currencies may still trade on a holiday if at least the
country/global market is open for business.
The forex market is a network of institutions, allowing for trading 24 hours a day, five days per week, with the exception of when all markets are closed because of a holiday.
Retail traders can open a forex account and then buy and sell currencies. A profit or loss results from the difference in price the currency pair was bought and sold at.
The forex market is the largest financial market in the world.
Corporate stocks are all of the shares into which ownership of the corporation is divided. A single share of the stock represents fractional ownership of the corporation, in proportion to the total number of shares. This typically entitles the stockholder to that fraction of the company's earnings; proceeds from liquidation of assets; or voting power, often dividing these up in proportion to the amount of money each stockholder has
invested. Not all stock is necessarily equal, as certain classes of stock may be issued for example without voting rights, with enhanced voting rights, or with a certain priority to receive profits or liquidation proceeds before or after other classes of shareholders.
Stock can be bought and sold privately or on stock exchanges, and such transactions are typically heavily regulated by governments to prevent fraud, protect investors, and benefit the larger economy.
Stock Options are a derivative of a stock, they are financial instruments that allow the option holder the right to buy or sell shares of a certain stock, at a specified price, for a specified period of time.
Stock options are traded on exchanges much like the stocks (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.) themselves. The price of the option itself can be higher or lower than the original price when it was first listed. Most listed options conform to an options calendar and typically expire a specific date. Prior to this expiration date, the option holder has to decide whether to exercise the option by buying or selling the number of shares associated with the option, selling the option, or simply letting it expire.
ETF stands for Exchange-Traded Funds. They are a basket of securities that trades on an exchange, just like a stock. They are a type of security that involves a collection of securities that often tracks an underlying index, although they can invest in any number of industry sectors or use various strategies. ETFs are in many ways similar to mutual funds, however, they are listed on exchanges, and ETF shares trade throughout the day, just like ordinary stock.
ETF share prices fluctuate all day as the ETF is bought and sold; this is different from mutual funds that only trade once a day after the market closes.
ETFs can contain all types of investments including stocks, commodities, or bonds.
ETFs offer low expense ratios and fewer broker commissions than buying the stocks individually.
Some well-known examples are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500 Index.
