Just checked some shortable stocks at our brokage website, the borrow cost is more than 25% rate. So, what's the edge to short these stocks while paying too much for borrowing?
25%interest rate is irrelevant for a trade with a duration ofa couple of days why do you use the phrase too much. obviously pros disagree with you.
you think 25% annually is a lot huh? Well look at the repo rate implied by the options on TMA! (Btw, I'm short those options, since I think the cost to borrow is unjustified).
