Financial and commodity futures and options can greatly enhance and grow stock exchange activity.

The material in this book is both introductory and comprehensive, starting with the basics and expanding into the many practical and business applications for futures and options. Growing Your Stock Exchange with Futures and Options illustrates how these exchange-traded financial instruments benefit all customers: speculators and hedgers, portfolio managers, corporations, farmers, food wholesalers, oil producers, and others who deal in buying or selling securities and other commodities. It also discusses the risks and concerns associated with these derivatives. Drawing on his broad professional experience, Mr. Rubin is available for consultation and implementation of these financial products tailored to the specific needs of stock and commodity exchanges.

The Futures
Author: Emily LambertPublisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465022979
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In The Futures, Emily Lambert, senior writer at Forbes magazine, tells us the rich and dramatic history of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade, which together comprised the original, most bustling futures market in the world. She details the emergence of the futures business as a kind of meeting place for gamblers and farmers and its subsequent transformation into a sophisticated electronic market where contracts are traded at lightning-fast speeds. Lambert also details the disastrous effects of Wall Street's adoption of the futures contract without the rules and close-knit social bonds that had made trading it in Chicago work so well. Ultimately Lambert argues that the futures markets are the real "free" markets and that speculators, far from being mere parasites, can serve a vital economic and social function given the right architecture. The traditional futures market, she explains, because of its written and cultural limits, can serve as a useful example for how markets ought to work and become a tonic for our current financial ills.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined aspects of the October 19, 1987, market crash, focusing on: (1) market evolution and interrelationships; (2) operating structure; (3) market regulation; (4) market internationalization; (5) the availability of adequate capital and liquidity; and (6) abusive sales and trading practices. GAO found that: (1) a confluence of macroeconomic, political, psychological, and trading factors caused the crash; (2) the futures and securities markets have developed broad new trading interests and strategies, as well as intermarket and international links; (3) the market and regulatory systems performed relatively well in the face of unprecedented volumes and price changes; (4) backlogs in the New York Stock Exchange's automated system adversely affected trade executions and pricing information; (5) federal regulators and the exchanges responded to high volatility in the markets without the benefit of any formal intermarket contingency planning; and (6) no agency currently has responsibility for intermarket decisionmaking. GAO believes that: (1) the markets should reevaluate and improve their trading and information systems to ensure that they are capable of handling trading pressures; (2) regulatory agencies should develop integrated intermarket contingency plans to deal with market breaks; (3) federal agencies should develop an appropriate intermarket regulatory structure encompassing intermarket products and strategies, provision of adequate liquidity, and growth of international financial market links; and (4) congressional repeal of the Banking Act of 1933 could allow the merging of the securities and banking industries and emphasize the need for an appropriate regulatory structure for linked markets and industries.
