Beating The Market While Hedging--It's Possible, But Security Selection Is A Key Element
Portfolio Pulse from dpinsen@yahoo.com
The article discusses a strategy for beating the market while hedging, which involves buying and hedging a handful of promising stocks that are relatively inexpensive to hedge. The process involves estimating potential returns, calculating the least expensive way of hedging each security, subtracting the hedging cost from the estimated returns, and buying and hedging the top names. A portfolio created using this strategy, which included Abercrombie & Fitch, Inc. (ANF), Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), and Viking Therapeutics,Inc. (VKTX), was up 23.28% over six months, compared to 5.18% for the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY).
