Question#3

Yes, the broker knows day to day what has been lent from each account.

All you have to do is ask.

At the firm that I clear through (been licensed 20 years and independent BD for 10), those figures are coded on the customer position screen. Thus, I know day to day what has been borrowed from each account.

I should also mention that, even though you have a margin account and debit balance, you have the right to request that none of your securities by hypothecated. Although most customer agreements that you sign ( and probably never read) give the broker this right, you can revoke it.

Maurice and thread,

Best of luck in your endeavor.

I hold no position in GSTRF at the moment but wish all you longs well.

Regards

Bob
