I am teaching very similar material (undergrad though) and I am watching him to learn how to teach better. Great service to share these videos, thank you.
excellent... his lectures tells a whole new perspective... This is very different from the book reading of what futures and forwards are... Infact he cleared my year long doubts :) BTW thanks MIT for sharing
@55:40 this happened during covid-19 pandemic during march 2020, demand for oil dropped suddenly, and they were ready to supply to fill the contract. As the no body had storage solution oil price went negative at that time.
Honestly that visual of "If you're sales report is one currency, it's basically the opposite of selling in this other currency" really made things click for me.
Trading is a business ,who understand that they will succeed,off course you need a system to give you an edge and discipline.What a system does ,it will show you entry ,exit,how much you can risk,if you stick to the system you will be disciplined.But saying that only your risk to reward ratio will bail you out at the end of the day.
14:54 - I was listening to a podcast recently from Robert Kiwosaki, and he indicated his involvement in investing in Uranium and other commodities. Does anyone know why he would be interested in this venture? He was also speaking about Warren Buffet buying Gold miner and how he's buying other commodities like agriculture. It's interesting that during this pandemic, he would buy Uranium. He didn't explicitly say why. Does anyone know?
18:36 - This is also very interesting because American Barrick is considered a safe-haven in gold mining and market volatility. During the pandemic, Warren Buffet, who had an aurophobia, decided to invest in this gold mining company. According to my research, gold mining is a good way to hedge against concerns about rising inflation and is a safe-haven in very volatile markets. Does anyone agree or have additional information?
To hedge against Inflation, you are better off buying Gold ETFs. Get exposed to Gold as an asset and remove the company specific risks with American Barrick.
@@sgpleasure well i heard buffet doesnt like anything that doesnt have cash flow so cant say i would be surprised that he invesst in mining company rather than buying gold or gold etf :) also he probably know the company well enough to bet on it so he can get extra earnings from growth of the company in addition to rising(if) gold price.
How would the changing future contract prices relate to the strategic pricing of Soy bean product by the manufacturer who buying the soybeans from the farmer?
As a person with substantial science/arts of finance and statistics background, he explains it extremely well patiently. I’m surprised this is a MIT fin402 course; students are asking weak questions. Then again, im 36 years old and have been a Wall Street junky since I was 14. Cheers 🥂 folks, hope you’ll succeed.
I think it's because it's an mba course; not everyone is coming into the program with prior finance or business education. I'm undergraduate and just getting into finance and this is really simple to follow even without the supplemental textbook readings.
I don't understand; professor derides people who want to suspend mark to market but then goes ahead and say that prices are wrong when there is no liquidity. But that's exactly the problem with some interest rate products at the time; there were no liquidity therefore the prices are not valid and therefore should not be used for marking to market.
Although the price is not valid, theoretically it is still the best guess there is, meaning that you should take that price as valid for the time being I guess
1:01:00 if forward contract's price is 15$ 1 month into contract, then why the value of contract not 5$ at t=0, when spot price = 160 and forward price = 165$?
Coming here to get the forward contract rule and principles in European style. Yes, got all what I want from the Critical Concept. Yeah. Time changes rapidly compared the time of this lecture esp the prices. But the main principle of finance is THE SAME. HAHAHA
At 3:30 that foreign female student brought up numerous lengthy comments without any point at all but her personality speech show. Come on. What is her point among whole bunch of words?.....STF
“foreign” countries have financial markets that function on the same economic grounds that ours do. She lived through a similar situation that occurred in Argentina and wanted to share her experience. Hope that helps bro

His analogies are always on point. You better understand the concepts when you listen to his analogies. Amazing Professor and intellectual.
he hasn't made any significant breakthroughs so he's not a great intellectual. He's a smart guy and a very good professor.
What a privilege to be able to watch this over and over again with instant replay for free. What a public good this is
Education should be a free, essential resource.
He is such a great professor.

Funny, had he had actually agreed to buy oil at $40/barrel in February 2009 (roughly 6 months from when this was made) he would have profited.
I like how he's explaining current monetary policy at the beginning

funny that today 2020.04.20 oil price is < 1 dollar / barrel
Hopefully you didn't buy puts with that price in mind
That's great. Thanks for sharing.
Long live MIT

Refer back to his lectures on Net Present Value. The forward price $165 is the value in the future. The spot price is NOW.
