Investing in futures is the practice of buying stock in something based on its value at some point in the future. For example, pork bellies have a certain worth while the pig is alive, and may have a higher value at a later point in the year when the pig is slaughtered and sold at market. The Dow Jones futures index shows the value of futures, also called pre-market prices for a variety of
. goods. As the prices fluctuate within the index, the forecast price of pre-market goods may be prognosticated. More information about Dow Jones futures can be found at http://dowjones.com/.
