Protegeu-se, esquivou-se

agree  Jessica Boieras: In other words, How do you hedge? Hedging strategies are designed to reduce the impact of short-term corrections in asset prices. For example, if you wanted to hedge a long stock position, you could buy a put option or establish a collar on that stock.
