      This is just superb, I've been looking for "trade mispricing transfer pricing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Genubrey Mispriced Infiltration - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.

    A simple yet elegant, precise and understandable treatise on forward contracts which are the basis of futures commodity contracts and why the maligned "speculators" actually provide an extremely valuable service to producers and consumers.

    So essentially the forward contract is just a delayed purchase/sell agreement.

    @2:30 You said Forward Contract (FC) is an obligation for both parties. On Investopedia, it says "...there may be a chance that one party will default." because it's a private agreement.

    • @SidKolli
      @SidKolli 6 років тому +6

      To my understanding, a futures contract is traded on a regulated exchange, while a forwards contract is usually between two private companies. Also, futures are standardized to a contract size, so they can be more easily traded.

    question. so if the pie chain and farmer agree to a certain price, shouldn't that be the market price? why is there a price discrepancy between the supply and demand when they agree at a specified date? why the disequilibrium?

    • @hamzakim605
      @hamzakim605 10 років тому +3

      Because the market is much, much more bigger than one farmer and one pie chain. The price is determined by the aggregate supply and aggregate demand of one good :)

    • @lesleymatipedza2726
      @lesleymatipedza2726 Рік тому

      Prices change especially in farming, there's a huge price risk and price tends to differ in terms of availability. Beans is more expensive in my country during off season and considerably cheaper when it's in season. So when you have a forward contract with off season price the farmer tends to benefit more from such a deal when bean season comes

  • @ektrules

    So... Forward contracts were invented to protect against volatility. But, all traded commodity futures are extremely volatile. Irony?

  • @nobrick321
    @nobrick321 7 років тому

    Really? Is the farmer obligated to sell his apples even though the contract does not say he must sell it to the chain? I mean, if prices have risen then naturally he can sell it to someone else at the higher market price. Genuine doubt.

    • @benjaminaw6703
      @benjaminaw6703 7 років тому

      thats an option. not a forward contract

    • @JorgeReyesF
      @JorgeReyesF 7 років тому

      In this example, its main purpose is to eliminate the risk of the price being unnatractive for both parties. They are basically protecting themselves against the every day volatility.

    • @baharsyah5738
      @baharsyah5738 7 років тому

      For some reasons, someone who made forward contract would not put the all quantity into the contract but just half of all quantity so the other half could be sold to other buyers with higher price if the price goes up.

    Is this really correct? If so, what is the difference between "Futures" and "Forward" contracts?

    • @mihailopolenak8039
      @mihailopolenak8039 9 років тому +4

      +Tyler Gage pretty correct. It's simple: Futures are exchange traded - backed by a clearinghouse, while Forwards are "over-the-counter" custom contracts between two parties, not traded on an exchange. Futures are pretty much free of counterparty risk being on an exchange, while fwd contracts are not regulated.
