futures
(redirected from Futures (disambiguation))

   Also found in: Legal, Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.07 sec.
futures
quantities of a specified product at a specified level of quality guaranteed for delivery at a specified future date, and as specified in a contract tradable in a futures market. By purchasing at today's prices it is possible to make big profits in the future if the estimate is correct. There is the equivalent danger that prices will fall. The attractiveness in futures trading is that only a small proportion of the original purchase price needs to be paid immediately.

Q. How can you detect future alcoholism? it runs in my family and I’m very aware of it. I’ve been drinking for under a year but lately its been every weekend and I’ve recently stopped because of finals i have for school and id rather not mess them up. but i catch myself thinking what am i going to do this weekend because I’m not drinking. I’m not getting like cravings for it, like I don’t need it, but i feel as if i have nothing to do besides get drunk with my friends and walk around. is that a sign of future alcoholism?

A. it really depends on you. it start with just one, then goes to two, and so on soon you need a beer everyday, every night. its just like if you smoke need one then another, before you know it- a pack then two and so on. so i think you get the picture can it lead to alcoholism.

Q. How can I prevent my future Children from Inheriting my Allergies / Allergic Asthma? I have Allergies & Allergic ASTHMA, I have read about Childhood “Allergic MARCH " ... Is there ANYTHING my Husband & I can do before conception to prevent my Children from inheriting this terrible Disease?

A. does your husband have allergy in his family too? Allergies are environmental at least as much as they are genetic. There is the “hygiene hypothesis” that suggest allergies caused by lack of encounters of our immune system and pathogens. For example- There is a new experimental treatment that they insert a harmless parasite into your body and cause your immune system to react and “shift” it from one type of reaction to another.
