Joey:

Yes, but how is the timing of the buy-in determined? As you say, CNS needs those shorts for delivery, but when did they know they would need them?

Doesn't settlement time come into play here - T+3. The lender of my shares (so to speak) sold them (we assume here) and had to deliver the shares in three days. So why could I not get three days lead time to return them to the lender, so that lender could then deliver them to CNS?
