Except this tends to cause the share price to drop in value, so while Person A had a stock worth $50 he now has a stock which is worth less.JohnG@lt wrote:
Person A is holding a stock they bought at $50. Person B "borrows" the stock, sells it, and rebuys the stock at $47. He then replaces Person A's stock with the shares bought at $47. Person A receives a fee for allowing his stock to be used. Person B gains $3 minus the shorting fee. Everyone makes money in this situation. Person B takes on the risk that the shares will not decrease in price and if that happens he is out whatever the cost increased by plus the fee. Person A simply mitigates the losses he would've taken by holding the stock long term through a dip (or makes a profit if the shorter made the wrong decision). There is a lot of risk involved. It is by no means 'free money'.
It may not have lost value at all, and probably wouldn't have lost as much if Person B hadn't been dicking around selling a stock he didn't own.

In the short term perhaps, but it adds liquidity which tends to make the stock more appealing to investors. That's why a lot of long-term owners are willing to loan out their stocks for shorting - for the good of the company, rather than the fee they get from the shorter.Dilbert_X wrote:
