　　Exercise:
　　A stack-and-roll hedge as described in the Metallgesellschaft case is best described as:
　　A.      Buying futures contracts of different expirations and allowing them to expire in sequence.
　　B.      Buying futures contracts of different expirations and closing out the position shortly before
　　expiration.
　　C.      Using short-term futures to hedge a long-term risk exposure by replacing them with longer-
　　term contracts shortly before they expire.
　　D.      Using short-term futures contracts with a larger notional value than the long-term risk they are
　　meant to hedge.
　　解析：
　　Answer: C
　　Explanation: A stack is a bundle of futures contracts with the same expiration. Over time, a firm may acquire stacks with various expiry dates. To hedge a long-term risk exposure, a firm would close out each stack as it approaches expiry and enter into a contract with a more distant delivery, known as a roll. This strategy is called a stack-and-roll hedge and is designed to hedge long-term risk exposures with short term contracts.
