InvestorIdeas.com - An Introduction to Futures for Investors Interested in Futures Trading
InvestorIdeas.com Announces Expanded Investor Educational Resources – An Ongoing Audio Interview Series with optionsXpress® Building Knowledge on the Futures Market
Point Roberts, WA, June 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry portal specializing in sector investing, announces expanded educational resources for investors with the launch of an ongoing interview series with optionsXpress, Inc., a subsidiary of publicly-traded optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXPS) covering the topic of futures trading.
This first discussion provides investors with the very basics on futures, how they are traded and how investors interested in this market can get started. Each interview in this series will provide information that expands on the previous discussions to allow investors to build on their knowledge of the futures market.
There are several key benefits that can make investing in futures contracts a wise addition to an investment portfolio. According to Mr. Michael Zarembski, a Futures Analyst with optionsXpress, a pioneer in equity options and futures trading, “Financial leverage is one of the biggest benefits to trading any futures contract but it is also one of the biggest risks. Leverage is the ability to buy or sell a commodity with a small fraction of the underlying value of the contract on deposit or margin and, as a result, it can magnify investing profits and losses substantially.”
