Stock Lending | DIY Money Video
Ever wondered how short selling actually works, or why your brokerage account might be lending out your stocks without you knowing?
In this episode of DIY Money, we break down the behind-the-scenes mechanics of short selling and stock lending in plain English, with real-world analogies (🎟️ concert tickets included).
What you'll learn 👇
📊 What short selling really is and how people profit (or lose) from it
🏦 How brokerage accounts use margin and settle trades behind the scenes
🔍 Why your shares might be lent out without your awareness
⚠️ Risks of participating in stock lending programs (including loss of SIPC protection)
💰 Whether these programs are worth the small interest they might pay
This is a must-watch for anyone with a brokerage account who wants to better understand how their money and shares are being used, and the hidden mechanics that go way beyond “buy and hold.”
And remember, the secret to wealth is pretty simple: live on less than you make, invest the rest, and do so for a very long time. Make it a great one!
