I never really tried to understand the whole short sell concept. I got how you could buy low and then set a sell price (presumably higher), and I get how you can have cash reserves and set a lower buy price with a broker hoping it will drop to that. What I dont get is how you can ‘borrow’ someone elses stock and sell it low so you can then buy it back low. I am sure even my question shows my lack of understanding this game.

But my question to your kind reply is, how does the action of one party in the market F another party? Maybe its because I dont day trade, I only have long term investments. Is it other day traders that get F’d? If I am long term, I’m going to hold the stock no matter so I am not sure how I get hurt.
