Hedging

Hedging is a financial strategy that acts like an insurance policy for investments. Imagine you own stock and worry about the price dropping. Hedging involves taking an opposite position (e.g., buying a put option) that benefits if the price falls, offsetting potential losses in your original investment. It doesn’t guarantee profits, but it can reduce risk and provide peace of mind.
