Does anyone else trade this etf? I prefer it to SPY. It trades like 5-10 million a day and I can't even get a locate. If I do its like .005 charge. I usually try to locate aroung 9:15-9:30 - does the time you place a locate affect the chances of getting a locate?
I would think early bird gets the worm, try getting it an hour earlier and see if you get better results.
Just checked, we don't seem to have any trouble borrowing the SDS fund?? Kind of a wide spread, however. Don
Are you saying that you're paying an additional pernny per share to "locate" or just to actually short the stock? I heard rumors, but never had them confirmed that I recall. Don
you are paying to locate stock?? what company does this? I did not think anyone charged to locate stocks
