My pet peeve is that Hedge Funds by name are misleading. I think what needs to happen in American is that we distinguish between what traditionally would be known as hedging, protecting one's capital, and an Investment Fund that takes positions in the markets. Maybe some legislation clarify the difference. They have Investment Funds in Ireland, and I think that this is what they should properly be called.

You're put in front of a firing squad as a penalty. No, but seriously, that's the whole point of the married put. I guess they could have called it a love put, but that's confusing, because you can love someone but not <i>be in</i> love with someone. So is it the <i>be in love</i> put or just the love put? Married put takes away all of the confusion. The prenup protects you from all of those penalties. Realist- It’s just like the movie “The Jerk”. You’re put in front of a firing squad as a penalty.

Love is largely unregulated, but you can't just short love. You probably need to find some physics PhD to develop a model. The closest naked marriage short equivalent is something like a marriage of opportunity such as a Green Card marriage. That's some other sort of alternative investment, probably along the lines of factoring. Or I guess marriage without love is like a strip. But at least you get the face value at the end of the term, even though you're not getting the coupons. The Marriage Only dotted line is the pricing for Marriage and Divorce.
