just noticed borrow fee on GNLN was 600%...i wonder how much you get for actually lending it out if you own shares..i understand some brokers give you a fee ...
how much do you get actually lending out short if you own shares?

About half, maybe a bit more, but there’s no guarantee they’ll lend it.
Half of what?
the interest the borrower pays.
Huh? The current fee to borrow GNLN is 1014%. That cant be right. Maybe Mr Morse will chime in,this is up his alley.
Why does the broker get to keep the other half? That's theft.
why not? i just look, gnln is hard to borrow and foreign, if you want to bet against the stock, hard to find floating shares.
I called Fidelity one time about this. Things like QQQ they would loan out interest at 1/2 of 1 percent...Nothing. For my Toray stock (TRYIY) they were offering 6-12% interest, I think. Toray I bought on the Tokyo Exchange, so it became much easier for Fidelity to make the offer and harder for Fidelity to go buy the stock on a different exchange.
It's a simple supply and demand for loaning the stock...
What concerned me (especially with Toray) was what if the company (or stock) got tied up in litigation. You have two stock exchanges, two clearing houses, ADR, a bank, Fidelity, and the other broker in Japan.
I'm going on 69 next month...Do I really want some small stock holding tied up in the courts for my estate to try and deal with??
My brother died ten years ago and I was in charge of his estate. He had some penny stock that STILL hasn't been resolved in the courts. We get quarterly statements from Morgan Stanley...Never finished.
When you can, keep it simple...

Holy shit if thats true I'm in the wrong business. LOL. Thats insane to receive that kind of credit just for loaning out a hard to borrow stock.
