You should have to purchase a contract before you can sell it
Speculators provide market flexibility.

Its this fundamental wrong that traders can sell something short which they dont own.
Imagine if i took 1000 sheep to market on a monday that i didnt own and crash the price?
No, borrowed sheepExcept that means you would have stolen the sheep, what traders does is sell the promise that they will deliver 1000 sheep in a month from now and then they hope they can buy those sheep sometime during that month for less than what they were paid.
So why do some countries ban hedge funds?Speculators provide market flexibility.

To attempt to add credibility to their own flailing fiat currency, mainly.So why do some countries ban hedge funds?
Eh ,going bankrupt?, think the tense is wrong, should be in the past not the current or future.Poor chap, though.
I have taken the odd knock, myself, but not on bitcoin, so I can relate!
I live the other way, myself, I would rather my kids grew up with their feet well planted before I start giving them funny ideas!
But you can do crazy stuff with trading if you understand what all money really is.... that's why I laugh at the absurdity that "bitcoin is just pretend money for computer geeks", nothing could be more ironic!
Every country in the world is going bankrupt, but only a few know they are.
It all comes back to the working man.Eh ,going bankrupt?, think the tense is wrong, should be in the past not the current or future.
Name any country who's not cooking the books?
Who's ulimately going to pay, no the rich or the poor but middle incomes and SME's, the productive taxed to death.
(Sorry ,I don't do "class" society because like bear poo , even if its from grizzly ,black or polar, poo is poo.?)
if commodity markets didn’t exist the wheat markets would have no liquidity and you would not be able to sell your wheat on any day you choose - you would have to find a specific buyer
those people you think should be hung make you significantly better off would you believe !
Nothing wrong with being a working class man....?It all comes back to the working man.
They're the twerps allowing it to happen in many respects, but that comment will land me in a lot of hot water on here.
Working a 40 hour week for "money" which will get them nowhere in life, too busy working to grow enough food to last their family a calendar year in many cases.

so when the music stops, do you load up the Stewart’s and take a couple of loads down to Canary wharf?
Someone can only provide liquidity if they have somewhere to tip wheat. Otherwise they are extracting money out of the system.
Hedging and hedge funds are very different beasts.Hedging is not just buying stocks or options (borrowing/betting). It’s about limiting losses. Usually done by buying and selling at the same time.
If a stick is at 1000. You can hedge by putting a buy order with a stop loss at 900 and a limit at 1500. If you also put a sell order with a stop at 1100 and a limit at 500. In the art you should end up with 400 in your pocket either way.
This is overly simplistic but it gives the idea
Same reason you sell half your grain early and the rest later with the hope the price rises.
That it maybe, much like the sharemarket and probably why most counties are in a financial mess , why work and earn a dollar when you can create a dollar as just numbers on a screen....?It’s all just numbers on a screen!
Some of them do have a place for it. Some commodities traders do buy to send it wherever. Others buy it short term to hold the stock to be basically a middle man. Farmers do the same with cattle/sheep. Who hasn’t taken a punt at a few beasts or sheep and put them in the shed cos they were cheep and you thought it would change over time. Same deal. Same thing with the fert sales men. Granted you don’t need the banker strokers but without them things would be a lot more local unless the farmer in hull knows the guy in Brazil that wants a 1000t of wheat.
