ZEGA Financials’ Jay Pestrichelli joins to discuss how risky single stocks are and how we have developed a system to hedge that risk. Some people want to hold concentrated stock positions due to tax consequences and are reticent to sell. See how using a hedging strategy can help manage risk, schedule diversification, and use hedging profits to buy more shares otherwise known as the hedger’s opportunity.
