Guy,
I am such a greenhorn about commodities that now since I opened my mouth Ill
try not to stick my feet in, but here is what I understand from talking to
Primate. Example: SP500. The months used to create the continuous contract
are Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec. The rollover day is the 9th over the delivery
month. They do not shift prices on the rolloverday. That's left up to the
user. Probably a good thing. But you make your own continuous dataset from
the lead month anyway don't you?
I would like to understand more about continuous contracts. How they're
used, adjusted, why, how traded etc.?
Can you give me some suggestions as I have not seen this topic covered in
any of the books I've read so far.
Regards,
Chuck
