Is this article talking about options?

October 31st, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I just read this article and I thought that it was talking about "stock futures" so I asked a question about futures and now everyone is saying that I am actually talking about options.

I sped read the article but I could have sworn it never mentioned the word options and was talking about buying futures contracts for stocks, not commodities.

Heres the article, thanks:

No, it is definitely talking about stock futures, not options.

I don’t know what your previous question was, but perhaps some people got confused because both futures and options use leverage to multiply gains (and losses) and both have expiration dates.
