Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

If you want to margin borrow someone else' money and/or shares, why shouldn't they be able to borrow yours? As for interest on shares, well, they are called dividends, and are already accounted for when a shorter has to pay any and all dividends to the lender. What is somewhat unfair is that not all shorts are getting paid the interest the extra cash should generate, depending on the type of account and brokerage you have.
