For every seller there is a buyer!   I doubt short selling in LFE since it has low volume and trades at a discount.   But who knows..   Waiting till Friday to add a few more shares if its still at large discount.

Buying at a discount does not always translate into a profit. This always trades at a discount so if it sinks so does your capital.

When I read the change of regulation notice, it appears that if you sold something else that day and are waiting for funds to pay for the purchase, it may not clear until the funds are verified in your account.  Ok for those trading on margins.  GLTA the good folks here.

For U.S. market participants, the shortened trade settlement cycle will start on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. This change will impact trades for stocks,
