[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3712022, member: 7248"] I suspect most builders are not sophisticated enough or have the resource to hedge against price increases, but that is exactly what should have happened when there were market dynamics that started to indicate inflationary pressures. At minimum they could have purchased some future contracts on lumber to help offset the potential increase. The airlines would do this with fuel and it saved them a ton of capital when the prices went through the roof. Any of the builders on here hedge for inflation? [/QUOTE]
