UB, perhaps I am wrong ... Honestly, I have never held an ITM equity put through expiration, but the other part of your 1st post was confusing to me. If said put holder (buyer) through expiry holds a put on something that is not marginable or has an account that does not allow for margin, what happens then? Thanks for your reply -- it cleared up what you wrote the first time. But since the holder is the exception -- most are sold to close the position before expiry -- why should this provide more than a blip -- surely you are not saying that these positions are the large with respect to the overall short positions held, eh?
