Does anyone know how often this list is updated? Here's the link: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/cgi-pub/cborrow.pl Thanks.
I don't know when the list is updated, but stocks that are shortable vary continuously through the day. I never use the list - I just try it to see if it works.
Any ideas on the short term swing of a stock due to its being unshortable or very difficult to borrow? I believe there must be some sort of correlation or trend in this type of situation. any ideas?
Although mentioned earlier in another thread... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19619 I think there is something being said regarding demand, supply when there is a shortage (pun intended) of anything!
