It should be noted that the money made "naked shorting" by a brokerage house is this:

short 1000 FNM @ $10= $10,000 x X% (borrow cost est. say a few %) x days/365.

It's a 'banking play'. Brokers make no profit by the short making money. If they borrow the stock they still make X-borrow cost.

LLCF,

Thanks for all your inputs. Is it true that moving a stock to the "cash account" from "margin account" makes it unavailable for "loaning it out" for shorting?

From "Art of Short Selling" :

books.google.com

The best short busting strategy a company has is "to improve the revenues and earnings"
