Re: Have you ever used Derivatives and Stocks together?
I have to admit that I am not really a derivatives trader.

The idea of investing in such short term investment instruments, which could disappear overnight, scares me. While I have made many mistakes in my stock investments, at least I have been left with some money to re-invest. With derivatives, this can be a different story.

I appreciate that it is possible to use derivatives as an insurance policy, but again, this does not really appeal to me.
