dnoyelles | how? |
kutta2102 | I - trader doesn't have to put down 100% value of the asset II - if you view derivatives as insurance against an asset, the trading cost of any insurance should be less than that of underlying asset III - all derivatives have a finite life and an active market exists. |
bidisha | good explanation, kutta2102. |
johntan1979 | Yes, thank you |
angusmyers | lol.. I read III. liquidity as "illiquidity".. I'm like - that can't possibly be right. |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
