Schwab asks me all the time to loan shares, figure if people are going to short it I may as well make a buck on the side. There's upside and down. The downside is that if everyone loans out shares, there's more shorting... price drops and you lose more than you make in the loaning of your shares. The good news, if you (as I am) are confident in the long term prospects of your stock, you make a little extra money on the dip and then there's the potential for a squeeze. I've lent shares before and will do it again. I have no problem with it. I just hate that you are being offered 40% from your broker and mine only offers me 23%? that's robbery!!! hahahaha
