Grow Your Stock Exchange with Futures and Options: a Guide to Understanding These Financial Instruments Charlie Rubin

Financial and commodity futures and options can greatly enhance and grow stock exchange activity. Likewise, these products improve the overall condition of a country's financial community and economy. 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.
