In the end though, there is not really anything we can do to change the system, correct? Like in other words, long term investors need not worry too much about the ebb and flow. This probably happens with a lot of stocks on the way up. I have purchased my shares through Ally Invest, trading platform, and have never been approached about lending my shares, nor would I.
I think as a long term investor, I am keeping my eye on the future.
