CANADIAN SECURITY COURSE says that any investment that can be leveraged, can be considered a derivative. So I figure this include equity purchased on margin. I prefer to call any instrument, which deems it value from another, as a derivative.... but who am I to argue.

I'd been managing options and futures portfolios, and even had a short stint managing two convertible funds, for years when I suddenly found out I was the resident derivatives expert at my mutual fund firm. <G> I thought they were something you put into cheap dogfood, which shows what an expert I was.
