I was talking to Schwab about "short sale borrowing rate" to see if I could earn money lending my shares to be shorted. An interesting game they play and you only receive 50% of the borrowing rate and Schwab keeps 50%.

I am thinking of building a SLV position (stacking silver) as 1 share SLV is close to 1 oz silver. I can lend them and earn 4% but that rate changes daily too.

There are still risks when you lend your shares too.

I also asked them about why they restricted stocks and/or how stocks made that list. There was a no answer really and I asked if they had a list they published that customers could review. NO ! It's their risk team that makes the determination w/ no explanation.

An interesting response as I would think their Risk Team would want customer's to know. You can always Sell stocks on the list but need a broker to Buy any on that list.
