There are two other features of Mrs. B's trading which should be of
interest to you,
Number l. While Mrs. B is not real, the markets we will
be looking at in the year 2001 will seem very real.
Number 2. While Mrs. B is not real, the risks she will
be taking in stocks, bonds, commodity futures or options contracts
are real. It is very easy to lose money trading in stocks, futures
and options. If hypothetical Mrs. B buys crude oil at $25 a barrel
and sells at $24 a barrel, Mrs. B will not actually suffer any loss
but anyone who followed her trading and bought crude oil at $25 and
sold crude oil at $24 in the real world would suffer a loss. Always

is taking are real to anyone who takes similar risks in the actual
marketplace of stocks, bonds, and commodity futures or options
contracts. If you understand this, click here to proceed.
