Glenn if I knew the intricacies of these complicated hedging techniques do you think I would be in a hedge fund? The fund manager takes 20% off the top of the returns so hed better be delivering stellar returns compared to what I can get going long on Dell with a few puts on the side in an e-trade account. To answer your question, Im not sure how he hedges from one week to the next. Michelle, I was looking at one stock only which is Amazon. I was curious because I do not have a clue as to how to hedge a long position in a security that has derivatives with so much premium. I could hedge by being short against the box but unless I know which way the stock will go, I end up staying neutral. I am trying to learn too:-) Glenn
