rightio...i understand what you are saying, and thankyou for the info
according to your explanation, yes i can see it would be a no risk transaction for UBS. Also that this could be the end of the transaction ( ie buying them back, rather than preparing to lend). How can you know which it is?
the bit i dont quite understand is why Regal have to hold this stock to short it? Shorting is a sell. Are Regal borrowing the shares as a hedge against a failed shorting attempt?
again, thanks for the info Lectroid - its opened my eyes. I didnt realize you can loan / borrow shares.... theres alot of things i dont know about the stockmarket- but i do know that now. so thanks
perhaps we are looking at 50 -60 cents as primaus72 suggested
