Description (as provided by the original submitter)

In March 2007, IAC Chairman and CEO Barry Diller entered into a complex series of transactions to "hedge" against losses in the company's stock value. From March 2007 to March 2008, the company's share price declined by 50%.

Luckily for Mr. Diller, he hedged his bets and made money. As for the rest of the shareholders, sorry!
