I have ,000 to use to trade gold with. Where should I be
looking to be able to trade intraday. What futures, etc
and what brokerage company. Also, does it make any sense
to try to trade hours other than when NY is open?

This is a question that I have in my one college class. Please help if you can.

Let's say, your dad needs money for bills and he recently lost his job due to downsizing. If you would tell him the information about this company that is currently selling stock at a resonable price that will be skyrocketing in the near future you could go to jail.

Would it be illegal if you bought the stock and got the money and gave it to your dad?

Do individuals ‘invest’ in futures, or do they ‘trade’ futures? The nomenclature is a little hazy.

1. Ebgames
2. Future shop (trade in games for store credit)
3. _______?

Where will I get the most out of my used games?

Iwould like to know more about futures. I read the specs on the Gasoline contract at this web site >> (www.nymex.com/QU1_spec.aspx) and am still confused about the price of a future If NYMEX miNY Gasoline Futures closed today at .86 How much money would I need to trade one contract? What are the limitations on margin? Do futures in general (including Gas futures) depreciate in value as they get closer to the settlement date?

Can you trade futures as an asset and just take physical delivery of your product, sit on it, then sell it for more in the future?

For instance. Lets say copper prices will rise by 2015. As such, I buy (1) Contract of Copper and request delivery of it. I then stick my copper delivery in a warehouse for safe keeping. Then in 2015 when prices have sky rocketed, I then sell that copper on the NYMEX through a broker, just like a copper mining company might.

Does this sound plausible? The reason I ask, is because I am dead-set against the idea of buying futures contracts on margin which might cost you money if they decline in value or the contact expires.

I have a quant background in hedging, so I'm not asking for guidance on how to learn modeling or developing strategies for trading options. I have work experience doing option valuation and developing dynamic replication strategies, but I have never done the trading.

I want to start relatively small - I'm comfortable putting about K at risk. I would be looking to hedge options against options while trying to limit the amount of dynamic hedging. I expect that I'll need set up some margin in addition to any net option premium. Is K reasonable?

Are there brokers specializing in options? Does anyone recommend CME, CBOE or other tools? (I know that some exchanges offer tools for subscription.)

Thanks!

I don't understand how a stocks value can change if the market is not open. Sorry I'm a rookie.

I am a US citizen. What are my options for trading cattle futures? Hillary didn't get back to me. Thanks.
