概要

TLDRThis video illustrates how derivatives function using a simple scenario where Jon sells oranges to George. George wishes to purchase oranges in the future at today's price of $1 per pound, despite not needing them immediately. Derivatives allow George to lock in this price through a contract, ensuring he pays $1 regardless of market fluctuations. Both parties can benefit depending on how the market changes. If the price increases, George wins; if it decreases, Jon wins. The video emphasizes that derivatives are tools that can enhance market efficiency or, if misused, lead to financial instability.

タイムライン

  • 00:00:00 - 00:01:29

    Jon sells oranges to George, who needs 500 lb for juice production. Instead of a regular sale at $1 per pound, George wants to lock in today's price for next year. This scenario introduces derivatives, which are contracts allowing George to agree to buy the oranges at a set price in the future regardless of market fluctuations. If prices rise, George benefits; if they fall, Jon benefits. Derivatives vary in complexity and can involve additional agreements, such as a fee for the option to purchase at a specified price. They serve as tools that can enhance market efficiency when used wisely, but if mismanaged, they risk destabilizing the financial system.

  • 00:00:00
    let's assume Jon sells oranges to George
  • 00:00:03
    who produces orange juice a regular sale
  • 00:00:06
    would involve George simply buying 500
  • 00:00:08
    lb of oranges at the current market
  • 00:00:10
    price of let's say $1 per pound today
  • 00:00:14
    but what if George doesn't need those
  • 00:00:16
    500 lb today and instead needs them next
  • 00:00:19
    year but wants to pay today's price
  • 00:00:22
    that's where derivatives come in which
  • 00:00:24
    are basically contracts maybe George
  • 00:00:27
    will commit to buying 500 lb of oranges
  • 00:00:29
    at a c certain date next year at an
  • 00:00:31
    agreed upon price of a dollar per pound
  • 00:00:33
    so regardless of what happens to the
  • 00:00:36
    price of oranges George promises John
  • 00:00:38
    he'll buy at today's price of a dollar
  • 00:00:40
    per pound if the price of oranges
  • 00:00:42
    doubles next year George will be very
  • 00:00:45
    happy if it drops by 50% John will be
  • 00:00:48
    happier instead this is just one example
  • 00:00:52
    derivatives can be a lot more complex
  • 00:00:54
    George can perhaps pay JN $100 for the
  • 00:00:57
    right to choose whether or not he buys
  • 00:00:59
    at a per pound next year maybe they'll
  • 00:01:02
    work something else out through
  • 00:01:04
    derivatives these instruments aren't
  • 00:01:06
    good or bad they're just tools you can
  • 00:01:09
    call them contracts you can even call
  • 00:01:11
    them bets because each party is
  • 00:01:13
    practically betting on a certain outcome
  • 00:01:16
    it all depends on how they're used if
  • 00:01:18
    used properly they can make the world
  • 00:01:20
    more efficient if used recklessly
  • 00:01:22
    however they can turn our financial
  • 00:01:24
    system into a glorified casino and
  • 00:01:27
    ultimately make it collapse
