Oil Futures, or Any Other Futures For That Matter
I'm far from an expert in these areas so maybe somebody here can answer this. Is there some (any) advantage to the country from the futures market. It seems to me that it is a combination of speculation and an attempt to manipulate markets, to the detriment of both the general public and the producers of the product. Am I missing something here or would all but the speculators be better off if this practice was not allowed?
