...instead of selling Fairchild short, the investor kept his outlay down to $1,750 instead of $11,900 and made certain that he could lose no more than the $1,750 no matter how much the stock went up. Though most options are sold to speculators, market tacticians also use them in complex hedging maneuvers to protect paper profits, reap tax benefits, or limit the chance of losses. Bernard Baruch used them to grab control of whole companies-without disturbing the market...
