KT - thoughts on this question?
Someone on the FOOL asked me and I do not know...

I got a notice from Fidelity (an acct I don't use to trade), that basically says that if securities in your acct are loaned out, you may not be entitled to receive certain benefits of a securities owner, such as the ability to exercise voting rights, receive interest, dividends or other distributions. Substitute payments may not be afforded the same tax treatments as actual interest & dividends and may incur add'l tax liability for securities lent out. In other words, if you have a margin acct, the Bush tax cut on dividends is worthless.

Anyone else have add'l info on this and comments about how this could affect the markets?
