Hedging Strategies

Sometimes our portfolio gets too large on one side (long or short) the market, and if the overall market reverses, our whole portfolio could take large losses. We can consider "hedging" our exposure, but these often cost money or slow down our upside gains when we are right. But there are some interesting strategies to consider that can minimize the costs of hedging while providing much of the protection we may be looking for.

Please also feel free to share the ways you hedge your portfolio as well.

If you would like to share a topic with the group, let me know so I can put it on the agenda ahead of time. It could be:

• a trade strategy that is working for you, or one you heard about that looks interesting to you and that you would like the group to discuss
• a winning & losing trade you took this week, what happened, what was your rationale for taking the trade and why you managed the trade the way you did.
• an interesting trade idea you read about somewhere, share it with us
• got any specific questions you would like the group to talk about or discuss? let me know and we'll put it forth to the group
