It happens from time to time. Apparently, another brokerage house or the like is looking for borrows . The last stock that I got this request was for was VHC which actually went up quite a bit aprox. 2 weeks after the first request . It's been very volatile ever since [ regarding VHC ]. I would of course never allow any of my long shares to be borrowed but I guess some do.
I'm gonna hold my shares until I figure out how/if GEVO is still involved with the plant bottle technology.
