Should have added that via tweaks and add-ons to a synthetic (ratios, wings, etc.) it's possible to put on fine-tunable hedge. But don't mess with this except via a real options pro at a full-service firm, or one of the few retail firms that specialize in options; not only
for structuring but for execution (You sometimes need a hair trigger
only a directly-linked pro given discretion can provide).
