Basically: The promise to buy something in the future with a certain price determined right now.

I’m drunk. He sounds smart. Gonna short gold tomorrow right?

This dude deserves so much more attention on YouTube. I've been subbed for along time. And his videos always bring value. And it's free!

[bluryourfaceoff]

I think a deeper dive into the math behind the finance would be very interesting.

[carlosveritas]

Incredible, thanks for the video. Been a sub for some time and I really appreciate your videos. It's really difficult to find a good quality video with an explanation coming form someone that knows his stuff. Thanks dude.

Futures are something I wasted.
Am sad now.

After reading multiple articles and getting lost in the jargon, thanks for having this make sense in as simple and concise a way as possible.

Always love seeing a plain bagel video pop up in my feed.

[GenExDividendInvestor]

Helpful, thanks. Don't think I've seen anyone tackle futures on YouTube :)

[shantoo]

I rarely comment on videos, but this guy has explained it very well that I will make an exception here. You deserve more recognition and subscribers.

[pmanija]

Can you cover Mini Futures, Turbo Warrants, Tracker and Leverage Certificates

Your videos are amazing, you know how to teach with just enough detail but not making it simplistic.
