As a sign of commitment, John pays Jack 10 cents each....100k in total.... SCOM declares 30bn profit and demand shoots to 10 bob.....shares are short supply....but Jane wants some, so she goes to Jack and he tells her that he had promised to sell to John....so she goes to John and offers him 50cents for the right to buy from Jack....he pockets the 500k and transfers the rights to Jane Jane rushes to Jack, buys the 1m shares at 7m and then sells them in the open market and makes 2.5m All so fine....until Jane decides to sell the rights to Joe at one bob each instead of executing them [making 500k], and Joe sells them over to Jill at 1.50 [also making 500k] and Jill sells to Jim at 2 bob [another 500k] ...and so on......eventually we have a market for these rights which in reality don't have any hard value...they are just a promise to do something! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

A lot of the banks do indeed bet against their clients however, if an investor set certain thresholds and stuck to them, things may be a little different...granted its a complicated product but, if it is well understood, you'll be loaded...

That said, for derivatives to work, liquidity and depth is paramount. JSE capitalization is close to $1 Trillion, compared to NSE's $ 16Bn

What are the 'penalties' put forward if one cannot fulfil the promise as agreed upon at the agreed time ? Does one lose the paid up fee & the securities holder has the discretion now to sell at the 'open market' at the market rate, or the rights holder has the authority to choose who can buy the securities? Live and learn; and don’t forget, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
