RE:RE:shortsConsidering the almost 0 chance of a losing bet in the long term, finding shares to short would be extremely lucretive for anyone that got some. Knowing that, do you really think any brokerage house that had some shares to lend would actually lend them out to anyone but rather would short them in their own book for the easy money. Knowing the slease factor of the average brokerage it would not surprise me to find that most of the time when you buy hvu the house's are selling you naked shares and siphoning of the profits.
