"Sell shares you don't own, but without the formality of first borrowing the shares."

I did this once with PSFT. It worked well for a nice profit. I'd wager that if you did it more than occasionally that your broker would get touchy. Perhaps an idea to keep in reserve when those 'no brainer' shorts come along, and one can't get a borrow.
