I believe I understand the underlying concept behind derivatives, but no one in my household or in the realm of academia (where I attend), can give me a straight-forward explanation.

I read several articles on them, but what is the libertarian stance on them? 

 

Thanks.

SD, you're lucky if your posts get posted in the first place. Looks like there's no one minding the store -- the forum seems to be dying a slow death.
