Got another email this am (first one in several months) looking to borrow FSR shares at 6 3/8% interest rate for its short lending program. Bad news: they are running out of shares to lend. Good news, the 6 3/8% is pretty light so probably just "high" demand not "extreme" demand.

@seancallahan Can't stand shorts, but at 87%, I would lend my shares (and then I could use the interest to buy more shares).

@ttrinchi This APR calculator gives an idea of the borrowing cost for $47,500 (10,000 shares at $4.75). Probably not exact, but maybe a general idea? Couldn't even imagine paying a loan with such a high APR, especially when I thought a ~6% auto loan was a lot! 

Calculator

@seancallahan You really must hate the stock to short at 279% interest!
