State Street being a holder IS very likely a good sign for the future potential of LTR and other succesful companies. However, small holders regard the fact that SS and similar are also legally and uniquely entitled to lend out the shares under their control (not necessarily even their ownership) to shorters whose mission is to dramatically (and often artificially) LOWER the short term SP. This means small retailers with far more limited funds and who need to temporarily/permanently remove some of their investment from the table for sudden unexpected personal events/emergencies lose while SS and similar profit from the event. It's a good or bad thing depending upon ones financial position, investment intent and life situation. And therefore, it's not a level playing field for those without the costly algorithms and IT capabilities.
