Close, but not exactly. You can call your broker to discuss however in reality the bank knows exactly how much someone is worth based on their bank account balance, the value of their homes, cars, annual income etc. if the shareprice spikes the bank calls in the short and leaves the trader with the outstanding debt as something they have to pay off.
When you invest in the shares using cash there is no margin risk. You only profit or lose once you opt to exit, outside of that you can be patient or opt to use an averaging strategy to drop the running average cost per share.
Traders under contract to buy represent an opportunity for those holding the shares and who are patient.
Just don't be short on patience. :)
