"Hello, my name is John Niemira, and I wanted to talk to you today about derivative risks at E-Trade. E-Trade is a great brokerage -- a full brokerage -- house, and one of the options is derivative risks. Derivatives are from one or more underlying assets. They are looking at the futures of an industry or the trend of the industry. You've got to be very, very careful with the derivatives to get as much information as you can in the industry that you're looking towards. Derivatives are looking specifically at the future of that industry, not the local and current, not one company all the time, can be multi-companies in the future, kind of complicated. Make sure you know what you're looking at before you get into something like that, but a great place with lots of information, and look at it. For any more information on this topic or any other business topic, you can contact me directly at my email jniemira@gmail.com."
