Ann: Change in substantial holding, page-12

Let's just say that State Street collects a far larger chunk than anyone else. They make money going LONG, they make money going SHORT,
They make money LOANING shares out, AND they make money whenever someone buys or sells as they pick up the commissions on brokerage AND spreads.

Without clogging much of the chat I would recommend a few good videos on YouTube that do a great job at explaining shorting, perhaps much better than me and best to hear it from the professionals.

I am just an amateur, small time trader swimming in rather deep waters even when I am not the best of swimmers LOL. These guys are far too big to ever question HOW they make their money, they just DO.

I can definitely appreciate and presume there are new people coming to the markets who may find short selling just as confusing etc etc so brushing up on the Enemy of Retail Longs would be highly advantageous
