Mail Block: Question from Ted Schwartz
- Hi, I'm working my way through the Options Boot Camp and Option Block, learning lots of good stuff. I was wondering what kind of options strategies exist to hedge my 401K mutual funds gains? Would it be practical to use protective puts on some indexes, etc. to offset my risk of fund losses? Thanks!
