In my attempt to have a portfolio whose performance should depend only on my ability to identify good companies and to identify bad companies and not be held sway by whatever the market might do I have bought a share of company B thinking that it's a pretty good company that'll do better than expected.발음듣기
대기중
And I shorted two shares of company A and I shorted two of them because they're only 5 dollars a share and I wanted to short the same dollar amount.발음듣기
대기중
That company B will do better than company A relative to each other How my investment will do if the stock market moves up or if the stock market moves down?발음듣기
대기중
So in that situation what happened? I clearly make a lot of money on company B on my long position when the stock market goes up and 10 dollars became 15 dollars so I made 5 dollars there And I clearly lost money on my short position.발음듣기
대기중
So this 10 dollar position remember I have 2 of shares of them, are now worth 12 dollars are now worth 12 dollars. 2 times 6 dollars.발음듣기
대기중
And since this is a short postion I will lose 2 dollars But because the company that I thought would do better did do better it went up by more; It went up by 50 percent while this only went up by 20 percent I still make money.발음듣기
대기중
And I'm going to assume that I'm good at picking the right companies so I assume that my thesis holds: that B does better relative to A.발음듣기
대기중
So let's say in this negative scenario B goes down by 20 percent So let's say B goes down by 20% So down by 20 percent So it gets to 8 dollars a share.발음듣기
대기중
So now my position in B goes from 10 dollars to 8 eight dollars so I lose 2 dollars on my long position But when the market went down, I was right, A is not that great of a company so it goes down more.발음듣기
대기중
So my position in A the short position that was 10 dollars It is now a 5 dollar short position. 2 shares at 2.50 per share.발음듣기
대기중
So this is a short position I sold the stock that I borrowed and sold it at 10 now I can buy it back at 5, I make 5 dollars on the short position when the market goes down.발음듣기
대기중
So even though I lost some money on my long position when the market goes down I more than make up for it on my short position.발음듣기
대기중
So even in the down market, assuming my stock picking is good, I have still made, I have still made 3 dollars.발음듣기
대기중
And so what we've set up here is the long-short hedge and what's cool about it is it's only dependent on the investor's hability to differentiate the companies that are more or less likely to do well relative to other companies.발음듣기
대기중
And it's not as dependent on someone's ability to pick which direction the market itself will be going.발음듣기
