So in trying to see how i could stop my shares from being borrowed by shorts, I learned that cash trading account don't allow share borrowing.
When i sign up for a separate margin trading account, i gotta sign a Rehypothecation disclosure form that states that only those shares in my margin trading account will be available to shorts to borrow. But, if I added cash trading account accidentally on Rehypothecation form when setting up margin trading account, then shares from cash trading account will now become available to shorts to borrow, in addition to shares in my margin trading account.
Is this a correct analysis? Im just wondering how many people have accidentally allowed their shares in the hands of shorts without knowing or wanting to do so! What's your take on this?
