I've started gettoing paid made more in RSUs, and the companies stock has done very well, more than doubling in the last six months, so I'm now looking at six figures in RSUs annually.

It occurred to me I should look at mitigating against the stock price going down to provide some more certainity, and a quick google suggests I can do something like shorting a stock through CFDs - although I've not gone into any detail on this yet.

1. Does this make sense, or does the CFDs being bought out of taxed income make the mitigation too expensive?
2. Is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
3. Failing that, is there any practical way to mitigate against share price fluctuations.

Thanks.

EDIT - to clarify, I'm absolutely going to sell the shares as soon as they vest, I want to mitigate the unvested shares.

I'm on the engineering side, so not privy to any sensitive information, but will take care to check I'm not doing anything dubious legally.
