thx for the info.  If possible, can you give the raw numbers : the cost to borrow went from what to what?

Chuck's retail cost jumped a whopping 50%.  2% to 3%.

Lions,Tigers and Bears... Oh my.

Holiday cheer comming.... keep it on ice.

According to their desk the 3% is what they are paying lenders for loaned shares.  There's usually a bit of a markup to borrowers for Scwab to make a profit.  May be costing borrowers 7% or more
