RE:<<still others have dabbled in hedging>>

MrG, professionals and amateurs alike hedge every day. If you believe in Bob's 4% max. on individual stocks you are hedging. If you have a diversified portfolio you are hedging. If you don't trade on margin you are hedging.
My point was it appeared to me some people were buying Bear type mutual funds solely in a speculative attempt to "time" the market. That is not "professional" hedging in my opinion. Professionals hedge all the time because it is prudent not because they think they can time the market.
Hmm, I guess you can tell I just read the most recent edition of "A Random Walk Down Wall Street." <gg> Jeff
