Whao. I had no idea that was how owning FUTURES is. From what I read, here on Steemit too, owning FUTURES mean that you have agreed that so-so will be bought at a certain amount of time at a fixed price, so regardless of price fluctuations you'll be fine in the future, and also if it gets cheaper, well, you're kinda screwed. I had no idea it can also be employed to some nefarious ends. Thanks!
