i don’t hate it as much as not see any possible benefit to it that can’t more easily and efficiently and at lower cost be achieved simply by closing or partially closing the first position instead of opening another
it seems to me to be completely unnecessary and to incur additional commission costs without any benefit i can understand
i’m happy to change my mind if anyone can answer my question above about what benefit can be achieved through hedging that can’t be achieved more simply by closing or partially closing the first position instead of opening another
but as i mentioned above, this is a question i’ve probably asked 100 (now 101) times over the last 30+ years, and so far, apparently, nobody can, so i must admit i’m not exactly holding my breath - that’s all!
