He summarized general aspects of using futures such as tax advantages, capital efficiency, and leverage. And in this webinar, Nick focused on financial companies, such as banks and brokerage firms, and how they are subject to fundamentals that also impact financial futures contacts such as Treasury notes or Eurodollars. He said traders trying to play macroeconomic trends are better off using futures because they have a more direct impact on price direction. Futures traders don't need to worry about company-specific events that might affect a particular stock, independent of economic fundamentals. He discussed the impact of rising and falling interest rates on financial shares, financial exchange-traded funds, and futures.

Advantages of Metal Futures vs. Metal Stocks With Nick Kalivas

Oct 12, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

The profit outlooks for many metals companies are influenced by fundamental factors which are tradable and realized in the futures market. Gold, silver, aluminum and copper prices influence the metals companies traded in the equity market. So why not just trade metal futures directly? Explore the benefits of trading metal futures with Nick Kalivas, Vice President, Financial Research and Senior Equity Analyst with Refco Global Research. Futures offer a direct exposure to underlying macroeconomic themes, you can go long or short with ease, and company-specific events that affect cash stock prices don't matter when trading futures. There are also potential tax advantages to trading futures. Nick discusses reasons why the underlying commodity price direction may not parallel the share price of metals companies such as Newmont Mining or Alcoa, and why he thinks you should consider trading your thoughts on the direction of metals prices using futures markets instead of equities.

The Fear of Missing Out With Doug Hirschhorn

Aug 16, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Doug Hirschhorn, CEO of Edge Consulting, tackles a common fear that thwarts many traders - the fear of missing out. The fear of missing out on an opportunity is typically even greater than the fear of losing money while stuck in a bad trade, even though it tends to lead to that exact result. Traders beat themselves up for not being in the market when they feel they should be, and that can lead to overtrading, lack of discipline, and escalating losses.

Doug discusses techniques to help you overcome this fear, which separates the losers from champions. "Champions are the ones who manage to stay focused under pressure. They get fear just like anyone else...but they are able to separate that fear response," he said. Some of his advice? Catch yourself; stop yourself in that moment when negative talk and fear takes over.

Learn more about how you might recognize and overcome your fears in this inspiring webinar with Doug Hirschhorn.

Second Half 2005 Hog Outlook With Jack Weaver

Jul 14, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Tom first gave an overview of the CME's growth in commodities trading this year, and discussed features of the electronic livestock, or e-livestock, market. The CME offers electronic trading in live cattle, feeder cattle, and lean hogs on its Globex platform. They are traded side-by-side with the open-outcry contracts and are completely fungible with those contracts.

Jack then took a look at fundamental factors in the hog market and gave RGR's production estimates. He offered some price targets for this market, and said near-term resistance at current levels is in the low $70s. Prices were seen then moving lower to the mid to upper $50s range by October, and even into the $40s. Watch demand, watch surprises in hog supplies, and watch packer margin management, he said.

Third Quarter Equity Index Outlook With Nick Kalivas

Jul 07, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Nick Kalivas, Senior Equity Analyst at Refco Global Research, discussed his outlook for the equity markets from a fundamental perspective. He noted factors driving equity trading, including earnings estimates, the interest rate environment and equity valuations.

He outlines some factors supporting his view the market is "cheap" and that the longer-term outlook is more bullish than bearish. Nick noted the growing amount of assets flowing into commodities recently - as well as into real estate - and what that implies for the equity markets. He also offers a trading idea for stock index futures, including his price target.

Summer 2005 Outlook for Softs/Metals With James Steel

Jun 16, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Get a fundamental feel for factors impacting softs and metals and how you might position yourself to trade these markets with James Steel, Director of new York Research at Refco Global Research. James first discussed gold market fundamentals, including the historical correlation between gold and the U.S. dollar. Interestingly, gold and the dollar have both rallied together in the past few weeks; typically the two have an inverse relationship. James says what he feels this means, and gives his outlook for the dollar and gold as the year progresses. He said the dollar will likely be vulnerable to declines, and if so, gold is likely to reestablish a bullish trend. Strong physical demand and geopolitical tensions are supporting factors for a revisit to highs seen earlier this year.

In silver, James said the market is starting to respond to higher prices with increased production, although not to a huge degree. He felt silver is historically high and may meet resistance around $8. James said he would consider selling above that level, and said he doesn't favor buying unless it breaks below $6.90.

Turning to softs, James gave his overview of fundamental factors affecting cocoa, sugar and coffee, and what he sees going on in these markets moving forward. View the webinar for further details on these and other market trends in the coming months.

Summer 2005 Outlook for Grains and Oilseeds With James Barnett

Jun 02, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

James Barnett, Senior Grain/Oilseed Analyst at Refco Global Research, gives his outlook for the grain and oilseeds markets this coming summer. He discusses the impact of possible weather factors, as well as import and export and production forecasts.

Wheat: Barnett discusses potentially bullish factors, but discounted most as unlikely and notes demand has been weakening. He expects wheat to be under pressure amid a confluence of factors moving forward, and sees prices below $3 possible in July KCBT wheat at harvest.

Corn: There are several factors pointing toward a bearish outlook, said Barnett. USDA has been overestimating demand, corn ending stocks are projected to be high, and yields have been consistent in the past few years. However, Barnett outlines a few potentially bullish factors, including an historical tendency for the market to see a late-summer rally that could prompt a bounce. He targets $1.90 for December CBOT corn at harvest.

Soybeans: Poor crops out of Brazil amid increasing demand makes this market outlook more bullish, said Barnett. USDA has been underestimating demand, he said, and yields have been erratic. November soybeans have in the past also seen a summer rally in mid-to-late June and July as weather issues crop up. He said technical charts show an upside breakout likely with a price target of $7.15 and possibly up to $7.80; he recommends traders look to buy on breaks.

Spring Outlook for Financial Futures With Mike Malpede, Tom Pawlicki & Lara Akin

May 26, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Join three outstanding Refco Global Research analysts for their outlook on financial markets in the coming months. Hear more of their views on stocks, interest rates and the dollar from technical and fundamental perspectives in this timely event.

Tom Pawlicki gave his technical outlook for Treasury bonds, the S&P 500 and the U.S. dollar. He said current chart patterns show all three looking positive and gave his summer and year-end targets.

Mike Malpede agreed the short-term outlook for the U.S. dollar appeared bullish, given a recent breakout from technical resistance and supportive fundamental factors such as strengthening U.S. growth, a measured pace of rate increases from the Federal Reserve and a surprise improvement in the U.S. budget and trade balance. However, he outlined some risks that are likely to result in a longer-term bearish trend. He offered a trading idea in September dollar index futures, including an entry point and price objective.

Lara Akin turned to factors affecting the interest rate markets, particularly the Fed. She sees the federal funds rate at 3.75% to 4.0% by year-end, with a possibility it could be even higher. She advised investors to listen closely to what the Fed says in coming months for clues. Lara said she's bearish bond prices long term, but said there's a little room for a "trading market" and more favorable near-term outlook.

Advantages of Stock Index Futures Over ETFs With Nick Kalivas

May 10, 2005 12:00 p.m. CDT

Many investors looking for broad exposure to the equity markets are familiar with Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) but haven't considered stock index futures. Nick Kalivas, Assistant Vice President of Financial Research and Senior Equity Analyst at Refco Global Research, tells you why stock index futures may be the better investment choice than ETFs. He offers several compelling reasons to consider including stock index futures in your investment strategy instead of, or in addition to ETFs, if you haven't already. These include the ease of short positions, the potential for greater capital efficiency and tax benefits, the power of leverage, and greater liquidity.

An ETF is basically a portfolio, or basket, of stocks which cover a market index or equity sector. ETFs can be viewed as a substitute for or competitor to mutual funds. The most popular ETFs are the Nasdaq 100® Tracking Stock (QQQQ), S&P 500® Depositary Receipts (SPY), DIAMONDS® (DIA) and iShares Russell 2000® (IWM). You can trade stock index futures products that mirror all four -S&P 500 futures, Nasdaq 100 futures, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures and Russell 2000 futures. Join Kalivas and find out more about these popular vehicles, compare and contrast them -and decide for yourself!

Mind Over Markets: Part Two With Dr. Alexander Elder

Apr 19, 2005 3:30 p.m. CDT

In part two of "Mind Over Markets," Dr. Elder discussed the psychology of crowd behavior, and what you can do to avoid the mistakes of the masses when trading. He emphasized traders should not chase a market top or bottom, but look for signals in the charts to indicate real vs. false breakouts. Analyzing recent moves in markets including the Dow Jones Industrial Average and euro futures, Elder demonstrated when the markets had fooled many with false highs or lows, and how to use MACD analysis to help determine the real underlying trends.

Elder stressed the importance of looking at multiple timeframes when trying to determine real verses false breakouts. He also offered wisdom for traders to avoid making panicky mistakes and recommends formulating a plan during times you aren't trading -then sticking to it when you are. Elder also stressed the importance of taking good notes of all your ideas and trades, even when they didn't go your way. While you may not achieve the goal of making money every time, you will in time become a better trader with this approach. "Learn from your own experience. If you keep improving as a trader, the money will follow," he said.

Mind Over Markets: Part One With Dr. Alexander Elder

Mar 29, 2005 3:30 p.m. CST

Lind-Waldock welcomed renowned author, trader and psychiatrist Dr. Alexander Elder on March 29, 2005, for part one of a two-part webinar, "Mind Over Markets." Elder shared some insights into how he uses technical analysis to make his trading decisions, and gave his views on what he sees for several financial and commodity futures markets. He analyzed daily and weekly charts of corn, wheat and soybeans and indicated what traders might look for to determine whether a new bullish phase was likely to stick--and when to place trades. He also analyzed financial futures markets, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500. For now at least, Elder said the stock market "doesn't look too good for Mr. Bull." He also felt the U.S. dollar may be setting up to take a turn for the better after a longstanding decline. Elder also gave his impressions of crude oil and gave his short-and long-term price predictions for this volatile market.

You'll also get some tips on how Elder approaches trading from a mental standpoint. His best pieces of advice? When you get a trading idea, "take good notes" and "be peaceful when you trade." He says if you are feeling at all nervous, you are probably trading too much and should reduce your size. Hear more from Elder in our webinar archive, including many interesting audience questions.

2.) Why do futures have different months and expirations?
3.) Aren't futures too risky for me?
4.) Don't I have to know about commodities to trade futures?
