Z, I thought that for a hedge to be a "constructive sale", one also had to give up substantially all of the upside as well as covering the downside. An overly narrow collar, e.g. writing at the money calls and buying at the money puts, would be a constructive sale, but a properly structured one, i.e. leaving some upside potential and some downside risk intact, would not be. Buying puts would not be. Do you have a link for the new rules you mentioned?
