What happens is I place an order to sell short,First you have to have a margin account.The broker borrows 10000 shares of cd from your account. Then he sells them and holds the proceeds of the sale.At sometime I have to replace those shares that I borrowed,hopefully at a lower price than what I sold them at.I get to keep the price difference.It is a very dangerous game,if I would have had to cover at say 40 1/8 to replace what i had borrowed,I would have lost30000.Not a game for the weak of heart.
