What does "threshold" mean exactly? Never heard that term for a stock thats not shortable.

 

[Robert Morse]

A stock is "Threshold" with the clearing broker can't find shares to borrow to make delivery by the settlement date. https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/threshold-securities

I'm also getting this... can you spell this out for me?

1. What does this it mean?
2. How can the IB fee rate be 163.41%?
3. Schwab's borrow rate is much better... maybe sign up for their brokerage services? I'm seeing 136.75%

Difference is peanuts on a daily basis. You don't switch firms based on that rationale. Tomorrow it could be the reverse.
Further rates change on a daily basis.
Furthermore, wedbush clearing firm of lightspeed might better be able to accommodate traders in sprt tomorrow.
