Didn't know that even existed! I've just double-checked the html version of the list - the interest rate for borrowing is not reflected in there. It's still in the text version obtained via ftp though. Cheers, useful stuff! reaper, thanks for the ftp for IB’s shortable stocks list. Didn’t know that even existed!

The last auction (20 min ago) saw 32,400 SEED lent at 38.45%. I will update this comment later if I see other transactions. Due to low volume, it can take awhile to get filled on a borrow request and what you need to do is just bid and then let it sit out for awhile until lenders see it.
