Paul:
I don't agree with your statement:
"All shorts (equity or option) are never considered LTCG regardless how long the time frame."

With respect to equities, I believe that generally, unhedged
short sales held more than one year would qualify as LTCG.
Of course the rules being discussed here are complex (because of certain exceptions).
I agree strongly with your comment about checking
with a competent CPA. For those interested in looking it up Code Sec.1233(a);Reg. 1.1233-1(a)(2)
would be a good place to start.

Rose, thank you for the put margin requirement explanation it was very informative and well explained.
