I hate to be that guy, but you guys do know that "hedge" in the business sense is to make an investment in a related field to offset the risk of an earlier, riskier investment, right?
The example I was given was, after procuring an airline, that you buy a fuel supplier so you absorb some of the risk of price fluctuations.
Or, you know, get a stud WR prospect to help out a QB who had a rocky start.
