What does "Risk reversal" in marketing-speak mean?[edit]

Risk reversal in this context is being discussed as an investment strategy. I am not sure if this need to be broken into 2 different articles with a disambiguation front page. Please let me know if you want to under take that --67.153.8.235 (talk) 17:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Links to hedging strategies[edit]

As another discussion point, in an effort to make this a quality document, I was going to make sure that it is properly linked from within Wikipedia. However, I was not sure if there were lists of Hedging strategies. I was actually quite shocked as to the dis-array of these articles on wikipedia. If anyone has Ideas on how to clear this up, I would love to help. --67.153.8.235 (talk) 17:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beter references[edit]

This article is linked from Long / short equity there are most likely other places where this could be linked. Are there any Academics out there that could point to a higher quality research paper on the topic. I would love to stiffen up the References section. --Q.

Inaccurate definition[edit]

The top half of the article has an inaccurate definition: A risk reversal is selling an out of the money call and purchasing an out of the money put. This definition is listed clearly in two of the external links: Reuters and Investopedia. The reference appears to come from a potentially bogus website.

I have no idea what that definition means. Could someone put that in plain English and either define or provide links to:

"out of the money"
"call"
"put"

I also would not mention a collar in this article. It's unnecessary and could possibly confuse someone unfamiliar with options and options strategies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnf789 (talk • contribs) 08:04, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Risk reversal" refers to the fact that, by entering such a trade, the investor is betting on a market recovery, where the underlying is rallying ("bullish" expectations). As opposed to a structure where the investor is risk adverse and would rather look for protection on the downside.
