I have been lucky enough to have stock options on Qcom (qualcomm) which I get 
at $35 . Is there any way I can hedge it, so I dont have to pay taxes  at 50 
%.
My plan is...
I have options for 5000 shares. I am vested with 2000.

I plan to sell 1000  and pay taxes on it this year (year 2000)
My reasoning being not to have all my eggs in one basket. Nokia is a strong 
competitor & I will like to hedge the risks.

I though about selling calls, buying puts.  I am still very bullish on the 
company.
Any thoughts /opinions.
