Hedge Fund Strategies - Setting Up a Long Short Profitable Strategy

This short video from Khan Academy illustrates how to setup a simple long-short hedge (assuming the companies have similar beta or correlation with market). In a long-short strategy, you identify the stocks that will outperform the market and the ones that will under perform the market.
