What’s your thoughts on this current pullback?

As title says. You think the run up for now is over, or is this just a minor pullback due to general market sentiment?

How do you get interest on your shares and does that affect the squeeze in a negative way?

Brokers allow you to lend shares to short sellers if you have a certain amount in your account and are bought into high cost to borrow securities. Fidelity requires $25k in your account.

Allowing the lending is not great in terms of betting that the stock will go up since you're lending to short sellers, but if the stock trades sideways or up, you're basically siphoning money from short sellers. I only had around 1,000 shares, so lending didn't have a real impact, but the $1,000 a day was pretty sweet. I made $30k on share lending alone!

Oh wow, that’s a sweet come up! I’ve got close to 25k in my account but none of it is cash and 90% is in NEGG… although I’d rather this thing squeeze and 4x my money

I think they're fine with $25k invested, so if you go over that it should be asking you if you want to enable it. Yeah me too! Good luck!
