    With recent AXP $55 per share and lack of $145, is it true that my 6 shares of my 300 AXP are going to be loaned with $25 each (say, half cash and half loan???)? Roughly 6 times $25 makes $150. So the rest of 294 shares (=300-6) shall be cash purchase?

    [data feed heuristic] May I download from some middle man ?

    If he distribute the data many places for commercial profit, then it is obviously violation of contract. Here, I mean, he and ONLY his friend share the data, with half/half monthly payment. It is similar to the case that you and your wife enjoy the feed service together.
