Hi
I was looking at short availibility on some microcap stocks today on IB, and saw some with a couple/few hundred thousand USD availibility but only 1 or 2 lenders .
Considering the stocks have very low volume, it can easily become disastrous if someone borrow all those shares, build a position over a few days, than the shares get recalled and they must buy the shares back quickly in the market.
It’s also very easy for the lender to understand what’s going on, so the temptation must be…
