dnoyelles how?
kutta2102 I - trader doesn't have to put down 100% value of the asset
II - if you view derivatives as insurance against an asset, the trading cost of any insurance should be less than that of underlying asset
III - all derivatives have a finite life and an active market exists.
bidisha good explanation, kutta2102.
johntan1979 Yes, thank you
