Alpha, I am not commenting on the issue of "should one lend shares", but to answer your original question.

Your lent shares are guaranteed by your broker. They are the party that borrowed from you. They owe the shares back to you regardless of whatever any third party did.

In case of any buy out, distribution, dividend your broker is also the one who guarantees you are made whole.

You should (or may) lose your right to vote.

There is a minor tax issue (and I am not sure what the current IRS stance is) if NWBO pays a dividend it might be taxed as ordinary income.

Nobody can wrap their head around this, doesn’t matter if you’re science or business oriented.

I recommended this stock to a family member who is a surgical oncologist, but his broker refused to buy it for him. And now I’m thankful that I don’t have to feel responsible for having to explain this situation.

So it leaves me in a quandary. I believe in the science and I know this will be approved, but I just cannot wrap my head around any of the Wall Street bullshit stuff.

Your frustration is warranted, but the window of frustration is quickly shrinking. I am a buyer, to be exact, have been a buyer with price in this depressed range, having averaged up with buys as high as $1.6s, and as low as low $0.4s with huge numbers on 10 May, as recently as yesterday at $0.57 and up.

I know I am going to be happier with each buy as day passes by.

As least the time to approval is quickly shrinking.

Alphapup - The issue revolves around the sector you invested in. I also believe in the science. I just didn't know how vulnerable small cap pharma was to external forces, irrespective of any capacity for management to thwart them.
If you want less anxiety, it makes sense to choose a sector that isn't run by bureaucratic idiots.There's a plethora of them out there.
As for NWBO, I personally see that we've gotten far beyond the inflection point to the positive side. Plus, I'm very appreciative for management's strategic prowess to overcome the toughest kinds of adversity. They're battle tested at this point. The items left to deal with today are far easier in scope than anything in the past imo. I just don't know of anything else that can offer such an outsized upside.
