27 July 2011 Hedging means minimizing the risk. If there is probability of loss and when we protect our self from the risk than it is called hedging.
for ex we are wearing helmet to protect our self from the risk of damage which can be happened from a accident, that is hedging.
Normally this word is used in share market to protect our self from the increase and decrease in the market.
