What is a derivatives future?
future is a commitment to receive or deliver a specified quantity and quality of a commodity by a specified future date. A future can be used to insure a transaction price at a date prior to the actual exchange.
Explain the difference between a put option and a short position in a futures contract?
Well, the first difference is the root difference between a futures contract and an option contract: in a futures contract you MUST complete the sale at the end of the contract (if you didn't buy it back before the settlement date) but in an option you CAN.Once we're past that, the short position in a futures contract--the person who has the item the contract is derived from, such as a thousand bushels of wheat--is the same as the buyer of a put. Both of them have the thing now, and will transfer title to it after settlement or exercise.
How long should a second date be from the first date?
It depends on your situation. A week or two is normal, but make sure you make phone calls/texts in between so the other person knows your are still interested!
How do you find expiry date of the products using maths?
If the label says, 'This product expires 30 days from the date you read this,' then you add 30 days to that date, and you will have the expiry date. If you want to delay the expiry date, then all you have to do is come back on a later, more convenient date and re-read the label.
What is the date posterior to today's date?
