Tony, RE: how is fair value calculated

The fair value of the futures over the cash for the S&P 500 is the risk premium of the market. There's a mathematical proof of this; I'll spare you.

Given that the risk premium is a subjective number, fair value is also a very subjective number. In fact, I argue that it is better to derive the market's current guess of the risk premium by using the futures as a guide, rather than the other way around.
