Futures contracts vs. stocks?

futures trading
cajcameron asked:


I am a beginner investor so if what I am about to say makes no sense correct me… In Curtis Faith’s novel, Way of the Turtle, he constantly refers to trading futures contracts, and mentions trading specific things like oil, cocoa, and grains. Is this the same thing as trading stocks? If not, will the system he outlines still work in the stock market?
