Written by Jeff Schweitzer, Ph.D.


Continued from page 1

Basic Basics

If a trader is a buyer, he has taken a long position. A long position involvesrepparttar purchase of a futures contracts inrepparttar 112314 hope thatrepparttar 112315 price ofrepparttar 112316 contract will increase inrepparttar 112317 future. Let’s say our friend Trader Bob contracts in March to buy a widget (a long position) in June for $10. June rolls around, andrepparttar 112318 price of a widget is now $13. That means Bob now hasrepparttar 112319 right to buyrepparttar 112320 widget for $10 even thoughrepparttar 112321 going rate is $13. Bob goes ahead and buysrepparttar 112322 widget for $10, then turns around and immediately sells it for $13, pocketingrepparttar 112323 difference.

A trader who is a seller takes a short position, which involvesrepparttar 112324 sale of futures contracts in anticipation of prices falling inrepparttar 112325 future. Trader Bob in this case contracts in June to sell a widget in September for $13. Fall comes around, andrepparttar 112326 going rate for widget in September turns out to be $9. Trader Bob buys a widget for that going rate of $9, then immediately turns around and exercises his right sellrepparttar 112327 widget for $13, profiting fromrepparttar 112328 difference. At first, it might seem odd that Trader Bob is contracting to sell something he does not yet own. But look atrepparttar 112329 situation this way instead: in June, Bob makes a commitment to sell a widget to Sam in September for a guaranteed price of $13. If Bob can buyrepparttar 112330 widget for less than that sometime before September, he will make a profit.

All of this is made simple and easy in a new book: A Simple Guide to Astronomical Wealth:repparttar 112331 STARS Method of Trading Futures. Like Bob, you too can make huge profits by tradingrepparttar 112332 STARS method.
