Reading this: The opposite of a long hedge is a short hedge, which protects the seller of a commodity or asset by locking in the sale price. Hedges, both long and short, can be thought of as a form of insurance. There is a cost to setting them up, but they can save a company a large amount in an adverse situation.
Looks like shorts can have their cake and eat it...unless I'm not reading it right.
