On last weekend's show, Bob had a call about the practice of loaning stock shares by financial institutions. I'm really not too familiar with this practice. I assume that the institution loans the stock to an individual (or broker) so that the individual can then sell the stock short. I also assume that the institution loaning the stock receives interest (dividends too? dividends only?) until the stock is returned.

Is this correct?
Are there other methods/reasons for loaning the stock?
How much does the institution receive for loaning the stock out?

Thanks,

I2
