I'm from Belgium and so far we still can buy etf's such as gdx ,
jo, spy over here - however on another blog there was a norwegian
guy having the same problem in his country. On top of that he also
had an account in Holland where he couldn't buy those either.
I have an account in Holland as well as they told me the same
thing - no nugt - no jo - no spy
a friend of mine here in Belgium has an account with IB in
England and told me he still could buy them there - this is about 2
weeks ago
Many thanks for the information Ray. I will check wth IB in the
UK and see what they say. I have spent much of today
researching spread betting after
isplat's post, and that may well be the answer
moving forwards. It does offer a few advantages over buying XIV
directly (no tax, longer trading hours) so I am using my broker's
Demo Spread Betting platform to learn before "going live" !!
