| viannie | Hedge = decrease pre-existing risks which reduces loss but at the same time, reduces returns. (Something got to give, reduce loss but also reduce gains) |
| ankurwa10 | remember, there are no free lunches? You can't have it all. |
| dbedford | Think of it like an investor who buys bonds in thier portfolio to hedge against market risk. Risk goes down for the portfolio and so does potential overall return |
| khalifa92 | good example |
