Short selling scenario!

Hey guys,

This is one for the derivative geeks, I’m wondering whether there are any novel ways that I haven’t heard about to obtain a net-short position on certain stock (banks maybe) when there is a short selling ban in place for those stock?

One way would be to short a futures market like a industry specific EURO STOXX Futures Index (banks maybe) but there are many other ways to capture the trade and this one is extremely riskier than other possible trades.

Hoping for some cool ideas!

Peace, C.
