Stock investors create ownership in a company, which can be short term or long
and take advantage of price appreciation and avoid paying taxes until the
stocks are sold, whereas futures expire in the short term and often the
contracts expire worthless, but a profit can be made with the proper analysis
and timing of entry and exit points. Stock prices fall and rise just like
futures, but stocks can split and appreciate even futher. CSCO for example, a
1991 IPO, has split six times since
the company went public. I've been in the market since 1990 trading stocks and
I've never heard of a future splitting, although I am studying the futures
arena and follow certain commodities, but I have no intention of trading this
arena until I finish 12 months of paper trading. But I can sayone thing I
dislike about the futures market is that insider information is somewhat legal
and that is totally unethical behavior where money is concerned !
