CNBC – The largest hedge fund in the world has reportedly staked more than $1 billion that global equity markets will fall during the next three months. The wager placed by Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates would pay off for the firm if either the S&P 500 or the Euro Stoxx 50 or both decline, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.

That's what hedge funds do. They provide a way for people to hedge their bets
 
It's going to happen but when I see something like this I most certainly hope it waits for just over 3 months.

They will take a position on one equity and then take the opposite position on a linked equity. They put stops on both if they go south too much, but let the one gaining to go as far as it can, thus they 'hedge their positions'.

Insurance is a hedge too. If you buy a life policy, you are betting that you die, an auto policy is a bet that you'll have an accident, a health policy is a wager you'll get sick.

You probably don't hope you win those bets, but you may make them anyhow to protect your gains elsewhere.

I get my life insurance to protect my family from financial hardship if I die, it really isnt for my benefit, lol.

But investors will hedge against a lot of possibilities. An investment on foreign stocks will often times call for a purchase of foreign cash of equal amount to hedge against changes in currency value ratios.

Could this be part of the explanation for why the NY Fed has turned on the money spigots in ways last seen in 2008?

The Disturbing Advance Men for the Fed’s $3 Trillion (and Counting) Wall Street Bailout

"As you may have noticed by now, Wall Street On Parade is not buying the narrative that the $3 trillion that the New York Fed has pumped out to the trading houses on Wall Street since September 17 is part of routine open market operations that the Fed is legally allowed to do.

"We are also not buying the idea that if the same banks that backed away from lending during the financial crisis are doing so again today, this is not a matter that deserves an airing before the Senate Banking and House Financial Services Committees."
