21 September 2009 Whether derivative transaction is treated as speculative transaction?

I think it is not as speculative transaction?

If no,Profit & loss from trading in F&O ie Derivatives can be adjusted against normal profit & loss in Business income?

Whether there is any particular section or case law in Income Tax which deals with the above case?
