Here's a blurb from a Forbes article: Single stock futures are futures contracts on individual stocks, such as Dell Computer (nasdaq: DELL - news - people ), IBM (nyse: IBM - news - people ) and General Electric (nyse: GE - news - people ). Each contract consists of 100 shares of the underlying stock, and thus, each $1 move in the price of the SSF stock will equate to a $100 move in the futures contract. For example, if you bought one Microsoft (nyse: MSFT - news - people ) SSF contract at $48 and then offset the position by selling the same contract at $51, you would have profited $300 on your contract. EDIT:..this is a pretty good article..check out the whole thing... forbes.com And here's what looks to be a decent website with info on SSF's including the contract specifications: nqlx.com PS.. you gotta pass another IB exam <g>
