>Could do similar things to what Mark Cuban did to hedge his exposure of Yahoo stock after the purchase of his company. Basically shorting against your holding [1]. I interpreted that article to mean that he shorted the sector (Internet) that his holding (Yahoo) was part of, but without appreciably shorting his actual holding. (less than 5% of the fund he shorted.) Had the Internet sector (and therefore the fund) went up while Yahoo went down, he could have lost from both directions.
