Lesson 21: Mrs. B

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.
