It doesn't have to be related to offset the risk. For example you could offset using the SP 500 index, not violate the rules, and still protect yourself from a 07/08 style market collapse.

True, but I'm not sure how I feel about buying puts on stocks I own in bulk. If I'm making that kind of directional bet, wouldn't I also be better off shifting from SPY to AGG?
