Very helpful, thank you
Nice vid
Excellent
thank you for this
So for example if I wanted to invest in silver I would have to look up silver futures? Silver is trading 25.00 an ounce right now so do I buy 25.00 worth of one stock?
You would purchase a silver futures contract, not a stock. One would want to get schooled on futures trading first of course. ^CH
@@CharlesSchwab me and my wife just opened up a brokerage account with you guys yesterday LOL have an invested in anything yeah but at least we're getting started. Thanks for the response I really appreciate it.
@@justinsmitley7619 for sure do a lot of research on futures and options. Stocks are simpler and don't require margin. The benefit of futures is the leverage versus that of a stock. A stock purchase is a purchase of that stock, but a futures contract of whatever you are buying - for example crude oil futures contract might be 100 barrels.
Can I allowed to allowed to hold future trading position upto 1 year

Isn’t there any concept of future price in here?
Future price is unpredictable, and thus margin is based on spot markets and risk. ^BW
if the margin requirment for micro is $50, And i have $50 in my account , i bought the contract and value goes 5% down which is sign to get margin call. However my question is why i get the margin call, $50 is my money not from broker. Why do u get call, i did not borrow any money. Can you make this concept clear .
