In the futures trading world, there are two words that sound cool to say but also might be very confusing for new traders; contango and backwardation.

In today's podcast, I want to slowly walk through the concept of contango and backwardation while offering a couple different examples to show you how it works in real life and how we might be able to use the awareness of futures pricing as part of an options strategy in our portfolio.
