Abstract

Since 2007, the environment for trading futures contracts has changed significantly. In late 2012 graduates of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Master Marketer program were surveyed to assess the degree to which the changing climate of futures and options trading is impacting their confidence in futures markets and their perception of their ability to implement price risk management strategies.
