Wrong. There is no charge to use the Anvil trading software. There is a $100 charge to setup a SSL/VPN id to trade from home.
With Assent's limited short list, does that mean we should look at others like Genesis/Laser or Blackwood? I can understand the need for a rock solid platform to trade with, but if you are losing trades because the stock isn't there, what's the point? Lost Trades = lost money.
for me,it's not that big of a deal as i mostly go long. however,some guys do have to call and borrow which can be a bit time consuming.all in all,assent is great.
Or you can just request the release of a stock online and it will automatically be released for you to short if they can locate it.
maybee you should learn some english yourself. maybee if you stop going under your desk to check your internet cable you would be able to speak
