Are Depositary Receipts Derivatives?
Depositary Receipts (DRs) are not considered derivatives; rather, they are financial instruments that represent shares in a foreign company, allowing investors to trade those shares on domestic exchanges. DRs, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), facilitate investment in foreign companies by converting their shares into a format that complies with local regulations. While they derive their value from the underlying foreign shares, they do not have the same characteristics as derivatives, which are contracts based on the value of an underlying asset.

On the other hand, ordinary shares are shares of a company that are traded on the company's home stock exchange.

Is a futures contract a type of options contract where you are either a seller of a call or a seller of a put?
A futures contract is different from an option contract: an option contract allows the buyer to choose to exercise the contract. A futures contract obligates you to do it. Example: You and I decide to buy calls on 100 shares of Acme stock at 22 with June 1 settlement date. You buy a futures contract, and I get an option contract. On May 27, Acme drops to 10 and stays there. On June 1, you must buy 100 shares of $10 stock for $22 per share. My option is out of the money, and I never exercise it. The "obligation" part explains why futures contracts on stock are very, very rare. Almost all futures contracts are written against commodities.
