Need a practical hedging strategy? You can dramatically lower risk without giving up an edge with a dynamic options collar position, according to this 10-year study of the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock.

Detailed Description
Collars are relatively simple strategies, but their performance can be quite sensitive to the manner in which they are structured. The following study compares the risk-adjusted performance of different collar positions on the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock (QQQQ) since March 1999. The study updates a more in-depth analysis published in the Spring 2009 issue of The Journal of Alternative Investments.
