New tax law: If dividend paying shares are lent out to shorts, the 'in lieu' payment of the dividend by the short to the owner doesn't qualify for the same favorable tax treatment that dividends paid by the company to the owner would have. I just sent an instruction to my broker not to lend shares that pay qualifying dividends. REIT's, MLP's outfits like ALD & ACAS whose dividends don't qualify wouldn't be affected by this.
