Can someone enlighten me on how to understand if my long shares are being lent out to short sellers? How do I control it if they are available?
Picked up another 100 @ $315, May go lower but I got tired of watching. I had just sold 100 the other day at $355 anyways.
You should be making a killing with the heat wave?Me neither....my lemonade stand/garage sale did not net much
This is bull*sugar - and you just keep spreading it. The market is heavily manipulated and it does not mean anything (I see your "logic": Mr Market knows better so by looking at the price now we definitely know Tesla never did 5000/week). I'm so tempted to add at this price now, need to find dry powder.
I´m highly satisfied with the stock development.
Sold em all at 365 and now it looks like I´ll be able to buy in again at a much cheaper price once the usual "It`s gonna die!" craze has blown over.

I have a little bit left over change to buy some more, waiting for rock bottom, but not entirely happy to see this large swing. The bears are probably rejoicing these questionable analysts casting doubts all over TSLA. Well, let them get burnt later on. We win some, we lose some...

New limit order at $305. Maybe for Thursday or Friday.
It depends on your brokerage and their terms of service. Some will do it no matter what (but can be stopped if you have an active order out for your shares, like "sell at 600 good till call)". Some will only do it if you have a margin account signed up; some will do it only if you have margin actively being utilized, and some will only do it with explicit permission.
Thanks. I did (some time ago), and came up with a couple of questions:
Is it correct that the same share can be shorted multiple times?
A lends 1 share to B who sells it to C, A and B now have a contract between them where B has to buy the share back to return it to A (also a broker is involved in this contract, to ensure that B remains able to meet the buy-back obligation).
But the buyer C of the shorted share would presumably not know that it was sold by a short seller and may want to get paid by lending it out to a short seller (maybe B but maybe more likely someone else, D), who sells it to E. As far as I can see, as long as there is a willing lender and a willing short seller (and a buyer), then the same share can be shorted multiple times, or no?
Also, If A and B have sufficiently different opinions of the stock issuing company, then I guess A could decide to buy back their own share from B (causing A to equal C), or no?
Further, is it correct that someone who has lent out their shares to a short seller cannot attend a stockholder's meeting - since they do not actually own the stock, only the right to demand to get it back ?
Similarly, if the stock issuing company decides to pay out a dividend, who receives it? (I would presume E, because if not then the shorted share should be sold at a discount, equal to the value of the dividend - and I never heard that shorted shares were sold at a discount. Not that I have heard much).
If these questions make no sense, then I apologize in advance.
