RE:RE:RE:Should Borrowing Shares be Outlawed?The biggest difference IMO is that it's your property that short sellers are trying to sell. If you allow it then ok. No brokerage has ever asked me if I'd go along with loaning my shares to someone else to sell so that when returned my shares are worth less plus the borrower profits. Maybe it's in the fine print and missed it. My point in all this is that it's entirely my decision to either up or down the ante. Same if some outfit wants to run it up except they're using their own money, fundamentally a big difference.
