Buying futures isn't much different from blowing $10,000 at the craps tables in Vegas. Futures prices depend on short-term, highly volatile price movements. As with gambling, you occasionally win when the market moves the right way at the right time. But in the long run, you're gonna lose. In fact, you can lose it all. Options are as risky as futures. With options, you're betting on the short-term movements of a specific security. The only real use that you may (if ever) have for these derivatives is to hedge (e.g. using put options allows you to postpone selling your stock without exposing yourself to the risk of a falling stock price). [2019] - Eric Tyson

If you don't have a buyer broker relationship in writing, the listing broker has the primary duty to the vendor, and the broker whom you otherwise use is technically a sub-agent of the listing broker.

Many people who are age fifty or older may also need to boost their intake of vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. Vitamin B12 rich sources: liver and kidneys, especially from lamb, clams, sardines, beef, trout, salmon, and eggs. But older people may not absorb enough of it from food. B12 is also deficient in some patients who have been taking metformin for a long time. Calcium rich sources: green leafy vegetables like broccoli, collard greens, kale, and spinach, low-fat dairy products, and nondairy “milk” that's fortified with calcium. But as with vitamin B12, older adults may not absorb enough of this micronutrient from food. [2020] - Nir Barzilai
