For many people who use existing assets for secondary investment and enter the futures market, too many technical terms are also a problem. Let's learn what spots are. How can we call it a spot? What is a spot? What is a spot? Question: what is spot? Who can explain it to me, thank you. Spot refers to the real thing that can be traded immediately, and the money and goods are liquidated at the same time. Corresponding futures, buying and selling future commodities, and trading contracts at a certain point in time. What is futures? For retail investors, speculating in futures is speculation and gambling, and it is nothing more than buying low and selling high to earn the difference profit in time. Theoretically, this is a zero-sum game. Every day, half people lose money and half people make money. Whether it goes up or down, if you buy it right, you win. Every year, there are many myths in the market, and there are also tragedies of random blood. Futures is the battlefield of world economy and wisdom. Controlling futures controls the blood of the economy. What is futures? The future in English is the future, which evolved from the word "future". It means that both parties to the transaction don't have to deliver the physical object at the initial stage of buying and selling, but agree to deliver the physical object at some time in the future, so China people call it "futures". The original futures trading developed from spot forward trading. The initial spot forward transaction is a verbal commitment by both parties to deliver a certain amount of goods at a certain time. Later, with the expansion of the scope of transactions, oral promises were gradually replaced by sales contracts. This kind of contract behavior is becoming more and more complicated, and it needs intermediary guarantee to supervise the timely delivery and payment of goods, so the Royal Exchange, the world's first commodity forward contract exchange opened by 1570 in London, appeared. In order to adapt to the continuous development of commodity economy, Chicago Grain Exchange introduced a standardized agreement called "futures contract" at 1985, which replaced the old forward contract. With this standardized contract, manual trading can be carried out, and the margin system is gradually improved, so a futures market specializing in standardized contract trading has been formed, and futures has become an investment and financial management tool for investors. The characteristics of futures are small and wide, short-selling, two-way money-making, and high risk. Therefore, China is very cautious about the opening of futures trading. Futures speculation is very similar to the stock market, but there are also obvious differences. What is the scene? Futures are relative to spot. They are delivered in different ways. Spot is cash spot, and futures are contract transactions, that is, mutual transfer of contracts. There is a time limit for futures delivery. Before the expiration, it is a contract transaction, but the expiration date is to cash the contract for spot delivery. Therefore, large futures institutions often do both spot and futures, which can be used for hedging and speculation. Ordinary investors often can't deliver in time, so they have to speculate purely, and the speculative value of commodities is often related to factors such as spot trend and duration of commodities. What is a stock? A stock is a written certificate of the ownership of the share capital issued by a joint-stock company to its investors. Shareholders are shareholders of joint-stock companies. The stock elaborates the agreed relationship between the company and shareholders, and expounds the risks, benefits, responsibilities and rights of enterprise management. It is not only a way of financing, but also an existing form of enterprise property rights, which represents asset ownership. The main characteristics of stocks are shown in three aspects: first, they are non-refundable. As a legal equity certificate, stock holders have the right to participate in dividend distribution and exercise shareholders' rights according to regulations, but they can't withdraw their shares halfway to get back their principal, that is, they only pay interest and dividends without returning the principal. Second, there are risks. Buying stocks is a kind of venture capital. Investors have the right to get profits according to regulations, but also bear risks and be responsible for the company's debts, that is, "bear risks and enjoy profits". Third, they are liquids. As a kind of capital security, stock is a flexible and effective fund-raising tool and valuable securities. Although it cannot be returned halfway, it can be transferred, mortgaged and traded. This liquidity and flexibility are the advantages of the stock and its vitality. Internet hot search words: spot? What do you mean, Spot? What do you mean, Spot?
