1.  ''Currency - emerging markets - US dollar.''
A 'naked' position in a derivatives contract is one where the holder has no other related offsetting contract, asset or liability.


A process in which a country starts to accept a foreign currency for certain purposes, in parallel with its domestic currency.
The only possible profit or gain is from a favourable outturn market price.


Most commonly an emerging market country might start to accept a more established foreign currency, for example the US dollar.
Naked positions are, by definition, speculative (rather than hedging).


This process is also sometimes known as ''currency substitution''.

In financial modelling with spreadsheets, dollarized - or absolute - refers to cell references when they're copied around the spreadsheet.
 
Fully absolute cell references - for example '''$A$1''' in Excel - will stay as $A$1 wherever we copy them within the spreadsheet.
 
 
This kind of cell reference is sometimes also known as an anchored - or fixed - reference.
 
Contrasted with a standard relative cell reference - for example '''A1.'''
 
Relative cell references are the default.

The only possible profit or gain is from a favourable outturn market price.

Naked positions are, by definition, speculative (rather than hedging).
