Talk:Securities lending

Using securities lending

Borrowers should always perform due diligence on the principals of the lending firms. Check PACER (accounts are cheap)and do not accept on face value or on the strength of a website alone the validity of the firm. Investigations of firms in California, Ohio, and New York have led to many indictments. Read your contracts.

Good compainies exist and stock loans can be a versatile financial tool. But check first. This extends both to companies and to "organizations" such as ethics organizations, etc some of which were created by lenders to create an image of legitimacy. Stick with established organizations, like the Better Business Bureau.

List of securities lenders

Look like a phone book. If there were numbers assessing their respective size in the business, the list could be restricted to, say, the 5 biggest lenders, otherwise it had better be removed.Bmathis (talk) 20:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
