I have invested in the markets for about 12 years. All this time I did not know how to actually hedge my bets in my portfolio. The soltuion is now clear, I had to hedge with S&P Index Options or Futures. After years of trade it became very helpful and also it took some of the jitters away just to be invested in a few stocks.
For a good reason it is now a tool which actually is sometimes more profitable than just simple stock investing. For days like the last two I am invested in Tech stocks heavily, the jitter was taken by having the S&P system taken a short position Friday morning, despite all good news of economic continous growth.
For any reason a Investor must have back up for his exposure in the markets! Perhabs some share this idea with me and discuss some more strategies how to prevent open exposure from evaporating our asset "stock" through unforeseen dilution. |
