Concepts to Understand
Short Selling:
Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own. Short sellers assume the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which they sold short.

Holding Long Position:


Investors are legally owning a security. Investors are the legal owners of a security.

Future Contracts (I)


Futures Scenario:
You are a farmer and you know that you will harvest corn in three months from today on. How can you protect yourself from loosing if corn price happens to drop until March by using corn forward contracts? The owner of a future contract has the OBLIGATION to sell or buy something in the future at a predetermined price.

t 1/1 3/1 Harvest

Future Contracts (II)


You lock into a price by holding a short position in a corn future contract with a maturity date a little bit longer than the harvest date.

Suppose the price drops...


You close out the corn contract and the gain in the futures market will offset the loss in the sport market

You either take delivery and lock in a price.

A futures contract makes unfavourable price movements less unfavourable and a favourable price movements less favourable!

Future Contracts (III)


General Rule for Hedgers:
If you are going to sell something in the near future but want to lock in a secured price, you take a short position.

If you are going to receive/buy something in the future but want to lock in a secured price, you take a long position.

Future Contracts (IV)


The Role of Speculators:
As the name implies, speculators are involved in price betting and take the risk of price movements against them.

Assume the following:


You, as hedger, believe that prices will raise. Thus, you are convinced that a long position will benefit you.

Key Word: Zero-Sum-Gain Large gains due to the concept of leverage

Forward Contracts (I)


Forwards
The owner of a forward has the OBLIGATION to sell or buy something in the future at a predetermined price. The difference to a future contract is that forwards are not standardized.

A Forward Contract underlies the same principles as a future contract, besides the aspect of non-standardization. Thus, a detail illustration is not necessary as I already elaborated in the mechanism of the futures contract.

Options (I)
Options
The owner of an options has the OPTION to buy or sell something at a predetermined price and is therefore more costly than a futures.
