...read the second part of the message as to the definition of a security.....

Exactly my point.... selling a PUT (which is what the poster asked about) is not an option to acquire or sell stock (the definition you reference) so therefore, doesn't seem to fit..... however, buying a PUT or CALL does fit the definition.

That's why I question if the wash rule applies to an option writer..... just an opinion.
