I don't short either, but as for lending, I see it not as a "quick profit" but an additional perk to holding a stock long. If you are holding through the dips and have no fear as to the long term...then why not gain extra $'s while the stock does the usual dance up and down? I was weary at first, but if you are really fearless in your long position, it's sill to not let the traders trade and get paid on the side while they do that. Does it add risk? Sure- a little- some minute %... but again- stocks will trade and PPS will go up and down, I'm holding- and hey, then I can buy more shares as well each month.
