I am confused on the trading of orange juice, or frozen orange juice. I know speculators are there to just trade with no intention with taking delivery. However are large orange juice companies/manufacturers purchasing orange juice? I ask because i may work on a paper that revolves around the the commodity market bringing foods such as oj to areas like where i live (durango,co) year round. Where we have no citrus trees at all, but we constantly have shelves stocked with oj. So is the commodity market responsible for making this juice available year round?|||If you have some free time, I recommend watching Wall Street Warriors (Its on Hulu.com). There's one individual in the show that trades on the orange juice floor in NYC.
To answer your question, yes. Representatives of large companies buy a spot on the floor and look to buy up tranches of orange juice at the lowest price. Let's say Hurricane Bobby is approaching the coast of Florida - a company will want to lock in orange juice now while prices are lower and before supply is cut.
I'm not really sure if any of this helps. I'll see if I can find some other resources for you.|||Here are a few helpful resources re OJ futures.

Is it possible to sign up for ITF events and futures?
I'm a pretty good 14 year old player, and I know that I probably won't be on the tour off the bat, or even at all (just being realisitic) and I found ipin, a tennis membership site. I know I'm not ready to be in itfs yet, but is it possible to sign up for qualifying at an itf event? Or futures? If not, how do you do it? Thanks.|||Just go to the website (http://www.itftennis.com/mens/) and click on the tournament that you want to sign up for and sign up. Once you're on the website you can browse around and do it.

They don't like sending state tax payers money to other states, even if it's California.|||I have Bright futures and if the school accepts, you can have your Bright futures work out of state aswell.|||check out their website

What is the difference between options and futures?
I'm kind of unclear about that. Options supposedly give you the right to buy an asset at a set price, while an owner of a future's contract is obligated to buy or sell. So basically if you have an option it does not seem that you have to buy. So if you don't have to buy or sell, then why is it that 80% of all option traders lose money?|||Most option contracts written are what are called out of the money options. That is the price of the security is say $30. The option is written to buy at $32, for 3 months. If the price does not rise to $32 plus the price of the option then it looses money. Even if it is written in the money it is written at a healthy premium, so it still may loose money.|||One guarantees you will lose money eventually, and the other eventually guarantees you will lose money, I forget which is which...

A futures contract may require you to purchase or take delivery of the underlying asset (such as a bunch of barrels of oil or bushels of wheat). Options, when purchased, give the buyer the right to buy or sell the underlying at the strike price, but when sold short, they obligate the seller to buy/sell the underlying at the strike price.
I'm not sure where the 80% of all options traders figure comes from, but I'd assume it comes more from how often novice traders try to trade options without understanding how they work. There are a lot of different factors that affect an option's value, including the movement of the underlying asset, time remaining, implied volatility, and other factors. One of the most common mistakes in my understanding has to do with how options are "wasting assets," that is, they eventually expire and lose a bit of their value with each passing day. Many novice traders buy short-term options with too little time left to expiration and hope their cheaply-priced option will explode in value as their underlying asset goes up a zillion points, yet they instead lose because their option was so close to expiration that all the time value leaked out of it, leaving them with with worthless options after they'd paid money to get into the position.
Frankly, I'd imagine that statistically, 90%+ of all option traders lose money. Option trading isn't simple, and many novice traders don't want to take the time or effort to understand how they work.
For the record, futures trading is arguably even riskier, since futures contracts often see explosive volatility, and because futures are commonly traded as leveraged instruments, it's often possible to lose more money in a futures trade than one puts into it initially as the underlying asset (oil, wheat, bonds, whatever) continues to move against the trader.
If you're interested in trading either, I would strongly, strongly suggest you get a good education. There are a handful of reputable outfits out there that teach this stuff and many scam operations out there, unfortunately. You can also get some good information reading books from MacMillan (Options as a Strategic Investment) and Teweles/Jones (The Futures Game: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why).
