No, I`m not a buyer but a seller! Selling far out of the money puts,leaps, but not holding them longer than a couple of weeks.

Hi Hittfield,

I am also in the EU and am affected by the ETF issue you mentioned. I have not tried this but am wondering if you have. I believe if you sell in-the-money puts close to expiry and let them expire, the ETF's will be put to you. I'd like to hear from someone you has successfully done this. I am still holding shares in QQEW since before the issue with ETF's arose. My understanding is that I should have no problem selling but can't buy again unless something like the put trick works.
