・・・・When there exists shortage of specific stocks at JSF, the Seller of such stocks on margin should pay the special fees on borrowing stocks to JSF, and such fees are granted to the buyer of such stocks on margin.

・・・・Monex would earn profit when the sum of Ｒ１Ｒ１Ｒ１Ｒ１and Ｒ２Ｒ２Ｒ２Ｒ２ is larger than the sum of fees on loaned stocks payable to the clients for the cases D, E and F.

・・・・The cash collateral received in the case D and F, could be used for loans to the clients in case A. This loan is collateralized by stocks; in addition, maintenance margin is held at margin accounts.

・・・・The stocks are loaned to the clients selling on margin ; which is collateralized by cash, in addition to margin maintenance.

（（（（In principle, when Monex loans cash or stocks to its clients and/or the S/L market, all loans are collateralized.））））

・・・・Stocks and Cash are efficiently reused within the scheme.
