You can sell a "futures contract" that would give the investor a guaranteed price of $1,000 per ounce. Usually a Futures Contract is for a very short period of time 30-120 days.<br /><br />Going Short: If you believe that gold is going to decline in price than you would buy a contract that guarantees a buyer will pay $1,000 per ounce. If it declines to $900 per ounce than your contract gives you a $100.oo per ounce profit.<br /><br />Going Long: If you believe prices are going to increase, then you would go long. This means that if you buy a $1,000 per ounce contract, and gold goes up to $1100 per ounce during the contract period, you would pocket the difference ($100.00 per ounce).<br /><br />Futures have quite a bit of risk if the market goes against your contract. Your broker can do a margin call at any time; sell your contract; and then take the losses from your trading account.<br /><br /><a href='http://metalprices.com/' target='_BLANK'><img src='http://metalprices.com/PubCharts/PublicCharts.aspx?metal=au lon&type=V&weight=&days=1&size=&bg=' border=0></a><br /><br /><a href='http://metalprices.com/' target='_BLANK'><img src='http://metalprices.com/PubCharts/PublicCharts.aspx?metal=au lon&type=V&weight=&days=12&size=&bg=' border=0></a><br /><br /><br /><a href='http://metalprices.com/' target='_BLANK'><img src='http://metalprices.com/PubCharts/PublicCharts.aspx?metal=au lon&type=V&weight=&days=60&size=&bg=' border=0></a><br /><br /><br /><a href='http://metalprices.com/' target='_BLANK'><img src='http://metalprices.com/PubCharts/PublicCharts.aspx?metal=au lon&type=V&weight=&days=12&size=&bg=' border=0></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5641328054672784185-7881215131863014139?l=tradinggoldfutures.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Econwizardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18174310843459712969noreply@blogger.com0
