Gypsy Swap

A swap in which the legs are common stock and restricted stock. A gypsy swap generally occurs when an investor wishes to liquidate a position in a publicly-traded company. That is, because a restricted stock may only be sold under certain circumstances, an investor holding one may exchange it for a more liquid investment.
