True.

After all they should expand the stock lending business a bit; I am sure they have a net balance on many stocks I want to sell.
That said I often resort to reverse combos if a stock is not to borrow. Bad luck though that they trade below parity, as a direct result of the tight market in stock lending. (Recent example: NDE, but given the latest news I am not surprised, the May issue trades 1 below parity or nearly 20% p.a.).
