An age old cliché joke on Wall Street is "how do you make a million dollars in futures?" Start with three. A fundamental problem with derivatives in general and futures in particular is that they suffer from an image problem. A sad fact is that too many people have entered this market without the proper education or mindset. Letting your ego make trading decisions is a very bad and often humbling experience.
It’s Not News if it isn’t Bad News
The press loves a scandal and the financial community has had more than its fair share. The public often equates derivatives with Long Term Capital Management, Enron and Orange County with executives being led away in handcuffs. Now there are $50 billion Ponzi schemes. How much all this bad publicity contributes to investor apathy is open to speculation of course. No pun intended.
There are several factors that contribute to this investor apathy: The old adage in the news business "if it isn’t bad news, it’s not news", the public at large having misguided perceptions and uninformed opinions regarding futures and options, improper suitability given an investor's financial resources and temperament and a lack of investor education.
