collared col'lared adj.

1. A protective options strategy that is implemented after a long position in a stock has experienced substantial gains. It is created by purchasing an out of the money put option while simultaneously writing an out of the money call option.

Also known as "hedge wrapper".

2. A general restriction on market activities.

Investopedia Says:
1. The purchase of an out-of-the money put option is what protects the underlying shares from a large downward move and locks in the profit. The price paid to buy the puts is lowered by amount of premium that is collect by selling the out of the money call. The ultimate goal of this position is that the underlying stock continues to rise until the written strike is reached.

2. An example is a circuit breaker which is meant to prevent extreme losses (or gains) once an index reaches a certain level.

Collars can protect you against massive losses, but they also prevent massive gains.

Two-sided interest rate guaranty protecting both the borrower and lender. It consists of a Floor and an Interest Rate Cap. The lower end, the floor, assures the lender the rate will not fall below a fixed amount; the upper end, the cap, assures the borrower that the cost of credit will not rise above a stated level. The cap protects the borrower from interest rate risk if rates rise quickly. Often, the lender is willing to reduce the cost of an interest rate cap if the borrower accepts an interest rate floor as well. For example, a bank may agree, in exchange for an upfront fee, not to charge a rate below 9% or above 14% over the life of the loan.

Collars often are an indication of control (e.g., prisoners) or a token of subservience (e.g., slaves). This kind of dream may well describe a frustrated work situation or a confining relationship.
