"Got a letter from my brokerage company on Friday regarding my shares being borrowed by the brokerage. Short covering"
Somebody was saying some time ago & encouraged people to do was to put your shares up for sale at as high a number your confrotable with or acceptable to the exchange. They probably wouldn't let you put them up for sale at $10 bucks but possibly $2-$4. Supposedly if there up for sale they can't be borrowed/touched? Also I believe someone also said they can't be borrowed if there sitting in your TFSA? Possibly RRSP as well but not sure .....
anyway I'll take your letter from your brokerage as a positive sign.
