There's nothing wrong with that. Borrow the shares and sell all you want. Short, sell, short and short some more, whatever floats your investment boat! But borrow the shares. And, like longs, REPORT when you've crossed a given share threshold. *You wouldn't want a long to hold 140% of the shares, would you? Or how about just 80%??* Message 22235487 And that's WITH reporting standards. Imagine what could have happened with Lehman, short, without them. So..... we're discussing NAKED shorting in this thread. You're discussing plain old shorting. Please go find some other thread. Thanks.

Typical whine - yes, they are "free" until the rules go against you. Are you "free" to use purloined FBI data? Are you "free" to extort from CEO, calling off the dogs when the CEO pays up or gives free shares? Are you "free" to just manipulate because you think you're right and everyone else is wrong? As for this comment of YOURS Just like selling a POS car that you bought...you want to sell it. This shows you have no clue. It's actually more like ME selling YOUR car without asking you permission and then when I sell it I may never have to actually deliver to the buyer, hoping you get into a crash. I've created a 2nd car out of thin air.
