I took him at his word.My team were young, hungry
.....and they didn't have a clue.
A futures contract allows you to buy
or sell a specified amount of a commodity
.....at a specified price at a future date.
Right. Um... It's like, if I agree to sell you this cup of cappuccino,
which I don't yet own,.....at 45 cents a month from now
... If I can buy the cappuccino at, say, 43 cents, I make a profit.
If the price goes the other way. I have to pay more, and I lose.
It's timing - buying and selling at the right moment.
Sometimes espresso might be the best deal, or salt, or pepper.
So, we're running a supermarket?
We're not buying and selling anything real.
It's just numbers - contracts based on the value of the Nikkei,
.....the Tokyo stock market.
Er, we do this for the bank?
No, no, We do this for the customers.
We are not allowed to trade on behalf of the bank.
Be sure you remember that, all right?

这么说吧，恩，就象，
如果我同意将这杯cappuccino卖给你们，
但我自己现在还没有这个货，
我可以在一个月后以45美分的价格售出，
如果我能以，比如说43美分的价格买到cappuccino的话，
我就赚到利润了。

但如果价格往反方向走的话，
那我得付出更多钱才能买到这杯cappuccino，那我就亏损了。
那是取决于时机的把握-买卖都要适时。
有时espresso咖啡有可能是最佳交易，或者是盐，或是辣椒。
