they borrow the stock when it is higher and sell it. since the stock is borrowed from the owner, they need to give the same stock back to the owner.
that is what a short sale is about.
for example,
borrow 1 stock and sell it for 100, now buy the same stock for 40 and give the stock back to the owner. The person made 60 dollars thru this action since they sold it higher than they bought to replace it.
in this case, others bought the stock raising the price, the short sale person still has to replace the borrowed stock so they are forced to buy it also at the higher price and lose money.
yes, see other threads.. several stock sites td trade stop purchases and others had issues so customers couldn't do anything so the fund people could be safe due to their 5 masks ...
wish I knew about how it was basically 113% short sale, the fund companies caused the issue.
