Derivative Market - Financial weapons of mass destruction!!
2008-05-17 05:50:00 Yesterday I made a decent 40% profit on the CALL option which I had bought a couple of days back. I started getting interest in option trading last year and followed market religiously. Index option of NIFTY has got decent volume and a volatile market like this could get fair return in the derivative side. The foray in derivative market was a good learning for me. Option market is good for those who have fair idea of economics, who do not get tempted and most important who trades in a market which follows logic. In case of Indian derivative market, the volume is really thin as compared to equity market. The inflation reported to 42 month?s high at 7.61 on May 9th 2008, but the market did not move down for ?some time?.

Explaining the massive derivatives market and why the Bear Stearns bailout
2008-05-04 17:36:00 With the markets looking a little more rosier these days, we can only remind ourselves of the ghost of Bear Stearns' bail out only 48 days ago. It's still being interpreted. On Saturday, Warren Buffett talked about the bailout, the problems with the derivatives market, and the declining risk of a financial meltdown, and mentioned an incredible statistic that I thought was a typo: If Bear had failed, one or two other investment banks would probably have collapsed within a few days, he said, adding that Bear had roughly $14.5 trillion of derivative contracts outstanding the day after it was bailed out. "The parties that had those contracts would have had to establish the damages that they could claim against that estate very quickly," he said. "Imagine the damage of everyone trying to unwind those contracts," Buffett said. "That would have been a spectacle of unprecedented proportions. It would have resulted in another one or two investment banks going down in a few days." ...

The Basic Types of Derivatives Explained
2008-04-07 04:27:00 Many investors are familiar with mutual funds, stocks and bonds to a certain extent. I think a less well understood category of investments are derivatives which get their name because they are "derived from other underlying investments" or because the value of the specific derivative investment fluctuates in value based on changes in value of something else (investment values, interest rates, exchange rates, etc). There are actually only two main types of derivatives: option-based and forward-based. Either type can be traded on a recognized exchange or OTC (Over The Counter). The exchanges are public and provide for standardized, liquid contracts whereas the OTC market is private and allows for much more customization of the individual contracts between parties.Option Based Derivatives Option-based derivatives represent the right, but not the obligation, to engage in a transaction within a set period of time. In other words, an option is exactly that: an option. Just...

Credit Derivatives- Part I

Derivative is a risk shifting agreement, the value of which is derived from the underlying asset. The underlying asset can be anything you value, which could be physical commodity, an interest rate, a company's stock, a stock index, a currency, or virtually any other tradable instrument.The reason we go about analyzing this is because of the credit concerns now extend beyond the subprime crisis. One way this is becoming increasingly evident is through the pressure on the balance sheets of financial institutions. What began as deterioration in credit quality altered the market liquidity and this altered v...

Derivatives ? Boon or Bane
2008-02-17 08:51:00 Before analyzing whether Derivative is a boon or bane. Let us start with the definition of Derivatives. Derivatives are financial instruments which derives its value from the underlying. This underlying can be anything as bullion, commodity, stock, or a stock index. Derivatives can be divided into Forwards, Futures, Options and Swaps broadly based on the purpose for which they are going to be used. Derivatives can either be traded over the Counter (OTC) or on an exchange. OTC?s are the one?s which are customized as per the requirements of the two parties and are not tradable in free market while exchange traded are the standardised one?s and are capable of being traded in an exchange. Now let us take an example and look at a simple derivative forward contract. In this one party is the seller of the contract and the other is the buyer. Let us say the seller is selling gold at a price of Rupees 600. The seller agrees to buy gold 3 months from now at Rupees 610 and both of them get ...
