message: *"For all of the complaining about hedging (not necessarily hedge funds) ruining the global economy, this mostly stems from the lack of understanding by Politicians and others of what function hedging product actually serves," is hardly a neutral statement. Also all the exclamatories are very unencyclopedic. --71.107.5.234 05:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: It is proposed that the articles Hedging and Hedge (finance) be merged.
===Oppose merger===
* Hedging exists and operates outside of the realm of Finance, as well as within it. I think they should be kept separate, but linked.  --user:210.237.140.253 02:47, 4 December 2005
===Support merger===  
* Both articles are small. Finance hedging is a special case, maybe even the primary case.  It can be a large subsection, even the first subsection.  --Red King 13:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: On the folowing in which 20,000 was changed to 5,000
"Another method to hedge is the beta neutral. Beta is the historical correlation between a stock and an index. If the beta of a Vodafone is 2, then for a 10000 GBP long position in Vodafone you will hedge with a 20000 GBP equivalent short position in the FTSE futures."
It is 20,000, since the beta of 2 implies that the stock is twice as volatile as the index and you are trying to match up price GBP moves of the same (opposite sign) size.
Probably more important is the question of why anybody would want to do this, i.e. we are just looking at the mechanics here, but I think we should look at the motivation. Please do not just say that you are trying to reduce risk - the easiest way to do that is not to trade either Vodaphone or the FTSE futures (or sell the VODAphone if you already own it).  There is something much more subtle than risk reduction going on here.

message: I think this needs clarification:
*For the following categories of the risk, for exporters, that the value of their accounting currency will fall against the value of the importers, also known as volatility risk.
I propose this instead - if you're someone who really knows the subject, and you agree, please make the change:
*Hedgeable risk is, for the following categories, the risk for exporters, that the value of their accounting currency will fall against the value of the importers, also known as volatility risk.ML-Est 08:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to learn from this article and I have to say that the introduction is confusing and the farmer analogy seems nonsensical and strangely written. I would edit it myself but, like I said, I don't know what it should say. Fedordostoy (talk) 00:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
