Before explaining electronic spot, let me briefly explain what spot trading is. For example, if you spend 10 thousand yuan to buy ten tons of corn, this transaction is called spot transaction. From here, we can see two shortcomings of spot trading. First, transactions in different regions will bring transportation problems. Second, transactions in different regions will lead to untimely information. To this end, the state has introduced electronic spot.
In fact, electronic spot trading, also known as electronic forward trading of bulk agricultural products, was launched by the state to support agriculture and promote the circulation of agricultural products. It takes electronic spot warehouse receipt as the trading unit, and adopts computer network to organize off-site transactions of the same kind of goods for unified market settlement. In fact, this means that agricultural products on the market are concentrated in some warehouses. We use electronic spot warehouse receipts to represent equivalent agricultural products, such as 5000 yuan corn electronic spot warehouse receipts, which is equivalent to 5000 yuan corn with the same value. We don't buy or sell goods directly. It is more convenient and timely to use spot warehouse receipts for unified transactions. The trading time of each agricultural product is limited, usually six months. Ordinary investors don't need goods, they should sell their spot warehouse receipts before the delivery month 10 to get the difference. Large businesses, such as enterprises, need these goods, so they will hold spot warehouse receipts until the 10 of the delivery month. Because the price of agricultural products is mainly affected by the climate and the relationship between supply and demand, the price is easy to grasp, with certain regularity and low risk.
Comparison between electronic spot and futures: It sounds like futures, but electronic spot is better than futures. First, the delivery method is flexible. Electronic spot trading has physical objects, which can be delivered in advance or immediately. At the same time, the final purchase in electronic spot trading is in kind, and the proportion of physical delivery is large. But futures trading is about future commodities, and whether it exists or not is unknown. Physical delivery can only be carried out after the contract expires, and the weight and proportion of physical delivery in futures contract transactions are very small. Second, the transaction risk is relatively small, and the electronic spot is developed by the state to support agriculture. In order to promote the circulation of bulk products, the speculative atmosphere is not strong, and there is a maximum limit of 6%, while futures encourage speculation, with a fluctuation range of 200%, which is huge. Third, funds are safer. The margin of electronic spot trading is 20% (you only need to pay 20% of the price for buying), and you can invest less money at the same time. The lower margin level (10%) in the futures market means greater risks, but it also means higher returns, so there are higher requirements for investors' opening funds.
Comparison between electronic spot and stock
I From the perspective of trading rules, stocks can only buy up and electronic spot can buy down, while bear market investors can't make money, so it doesn't exist in the electronic spot market.
In terms of II varieties, there are more than 1000 stocks in the domestic stock market, so it is more troublesome to select stocks; Electronic spot agricultural products are few and easy to operate.
Three. Listed companies may be liquidated and wiped out due to poor management; Spot agricultural products will always exist, and there is great room for appreciation in the future.
Four. The stock market is easily manipulated by bookmakers or groups; Electronic spot trading adopts the form of delivery at any time, which is difficult for institutions or large households to manipulate and has little transaction risk.
V stock investment has no leverage and is 100% capital investment; Electronic spot is a leveraged transaction with strong flexibility and low investment threshold, and the daily income space of stocks is smaller than that of electronic spot products.
VI From the time of fund settlement, the stock investment is T+ 1, which can be bought on the same day and sold the next day; E spot is a T+0 transaction, which can be settled many times on the same day and can lock in profits.
Comparison between electronic spot and gold
Gold funds are remitted overseas, and the funds are relatively unsafe. Electronic spot and stock are supervised by the same bank. Safe and reliable. The leverage ratio of gold is 1:600, which is risky and not suitable for ordinary investors, while the leverage ratio of electronic spot is 1: 5, which has a low investment threshold and is suitable for ordinary investors.
Generally speaking, the risk of electronic spot trading is lower and the profitability is stronger than that of stocks. Of course, because there is no risk of gold, the profitability of futures is less than that of gold and futures. Electronic spot is an ideal investment product for investors who speculate in stocks and futures. Friends who speculate in stocks and futures may wish to try. Of course, investors who have no investment experience can choose electronic spot because it is simple and has little risk.
