Yes you encapsulated it well. The pat move for the futures trader is to secure a posture in safety, hence the Treasury Bills. One cannot compare positioning a stock with trading a futures contract or two. The decimation that may occur with the wrong decision in a futures trade requires a sense of guardedness that one will not see in the stock trader, as well hedged and as well schooled as they may be. As I get older and wiser the more money I have in T-Bills the better I feel. J.P. Morgan, by the way, is quoted often. The quote is "Stocks Fluctuate". Morgan said that because he considered the stock market a fool's game. He made his money in Bonds.
