Activity Overview
In "Calculated Risk," Charlie is helping Don investigate the murder of a businesswoman from an energy company that made its money trading in futures. Trading futures is really just betting on the price of something in the future. It is risky because if the price goes down, you lose money. However, if the price goes up, you make money.
