Long hedge examples with options
Abstract
"This guide describes how to place an input (long) hedge in the options market to reduce the price risk associated with buying an input used in your business. A long hedge in the options market is accomplished by purchasing a call option. Futures are the financial instrument or derivative contract underlying an option contract. Therefore, it is important to understand futures contracts and determine which futures contract month is appropriate to achieve the price and timing objective of the hedge."--First page.
