>>"NO ONE would borrow if they thought they didn't have to..."

But why do the brokerage houses have to borrow to provide stocks for their institutional clients to short ? Don't they have a very large inventory in margin accounts ? And when they DO use margined stocks as supply, doesn't it STAY with them.... just moving to another brokerage house where they are "available for borrowing" ?

Do institutional clients carry away the stock they buy, or just leave them with the brokerage houses as we do ?
